This is the only shot from this morning's extraction which decided to upload to flickr on this damn slow computer and internet connection <mutter, swear, mutter, blaspheme...>

It ain't a good shot in itself, but it tasted good.....



C&C welcome

Ahhhh, you'll have me drinking coffee before too long. I think it might look even more interesting without the Illy at the bottom - yeah I know you need a cup to catch the coffee. Perhaps crop the cup out and see what you think. Looks tempting Cheers, Mick

Nice colours.

I'm not sure if that's coffee, but it looks... interesting.

I'll crop tomorrow and see if I can upload the pic.

THanks for the feedback.

hey pat, how far into the shot was that?

I think between 5-10 seconds once the pour started, probably closer to 5 sec. I have some better shots once the pour progressed to a single spout but can't upload at the moment.

ew, thats disgusting - is that what I am addicted to?? interesting shot!!

Damn i thought i had some comptition on the "nudity" front

I am sure it tasted better than it looked, but still is a very interesting picture. I think it is. I would have preferred the coffee and drops all in focus even if the coffee machine was not. Quite a good shot, really. Now, what I want to know is ... how many coffees did have to make to take one picture?

Typically, I would take a shot like this to focus on the main part of the 'funnel' and just shoot away. I didn't anticipate getting this shot with the two drops, so yeah, it would have been better if it was in focus.

To answer your question, this was the first coffee of the day and I took about 5 shots of it.

Thanks for the, ahem, feedback everyone

I can almost smell the crema

what's disgusting about it?

I have taken Mick's advice and cropped the cup out. (obviously not the last one!)

The final result...

With a shot like this, you really get a 'Guinness' effect (particularly in a glass cup), with the crema slowly dissipating.

Ok, a lot of the photos I take of coffee seem to be very similar - photos taken from below of an extraction of coffee!

I would be very interested in ideas you all may have about different forms of coffee related photos as sometimes I seem to struggle to be 'inspired'.

Cheers

Here is a shot of the coffee i just drank - I like these sorts of coffee shots

That photo, as good as it is, looks very, very familiar!

P

yeah posted before and the faces should be familiar even blurred as they are...

Leigh and Philo?

You got it!

And that is actually Yi-p's coffee not mine IIRC!

So you lied about it being the coffee you just drank? You lied? On the internet too......

Nice phopto, Justin. It has that old evocative mood of the twenties or thirties.

Ahh reschs already thinks I'm a fibber now I am getting feedback on my photos I am going to be the thread-hijacking fibber (try typing that 3 times quickly)
