Yesterday I had some new gear delivered.  The new gear consisted of a gray background, thirty inch reflector disc and a reflector disc light stand holder.  I wanted to play around with the light disc tonight and thought that using it in the basement to control the light from the recessed lighting would be a good exercise.  I set the mug up on the dry bar and played around with the reflector disc until I liked the lighting.

In post production, I used Nik Silver Efex Pro to apply an antiqued look to the photograph.  I felt it was appropriate due to the age of the mug.
