For The 52 Week Project (Serenity)

What's more serene that a relaxing candlelit bubble bath with a cup of hot tea and a good book.

 

Since a lot have you have been wondering this is what went into setting up for this shot:

 

this wasn't as easy as i made it look, i made a bubble bath i placed the book and candle in place, placed the tea cup and saucer on the edge in a spot where i could quickly grab it, then stood in the tub stuck my foot into the frame about roughly where my head would be to set the focus pressed the 12sec timer (thats right no remote) and sat down and covered my self as much as possible with bubbles and when the timer light started to blink i quickly grabbed the tea cup and posed, i had to clone in some extra bubbles for modesty in editing because even though i used a half a bottle of bubbles it just wasn't enough to keep me covered, and i managed to knock in the book a few times.
