At the picnic last Sunday, Geoff suggested I post some of my coffee shots of shots, so, here goes...



A couple of normal extractions....





A couple of 'naked' shots...(bottom of the group handle is cut off exposing the bottom of the basket)....

The final results - the espresso was captured in nothing but morning sun shining through the kitchen...

** Edit by Geoff - more than 4 images in one post, changed last 3 images to links.

Nice work Patrick, of these images no.1 and no.4 really appeal to me. Nice use of DOF and they just make you want to try what's on offer!! The blown highlight in no.2 is a little too distracting to me, but meh - that may be just me

Thanks for sharing matey!

Thanks Geoff, with shots 2 & 3, I was deliberately going for an over-exposed background via bouncing the flash off the ceiling to bring out the colours of the extraction.

I can't open the other three files so I will post them again here...

Cheers

Patrick

You are obviously a photographic barista Patrick

And I removed them.

I had no issues opening them from the original links.

The reason we limit images is that many of our members do not have broadband (Ain't Tel$tra grand?) and too many images in any one post or thread makes the viewing experience difficult.

So please, never more than four images per message and/or thread. It just makes it better for everyone if this simple rule is observed. Thanx.

Sorry guys - didn't realise the 4 pic limit.

Sirhc, I don't think I would qualify much as a barista - I care about the quality of my coffee

On another website, there is one thread with over 2,600 posts which are primarily shots of extractions!

No worries ...

2600 images of extractions? Sounds like someone needs to get a life.

Mmm coffee ...

Nice shots Patrick,

#1 and #4 work best for me. I think if #2 had a little more DOF it would be right up there with #1 and #4.

Umm, in case there was any confusion - they are not 2,600 shots by me only!

A little bit more DOF in the first and third and it's there

Thanks for the feedback, PiroStitch - I will bear that in mind next time I take some shots
