on February 23, 2014From earlier attempts, I knew I had to be quick. I had the camera on a tripod and the mug in place. I poured the coffee, added the cream and pressed the shutter button as the bubbles and swirl last only a second or two.

on February 17, 2014The idea of a cup of coffee came early in the week. The challenge was how to tell a story: full, half-full, empty cup? With a sugar packet, spoon or cookie or not? In the end, I tried to keep the focus on the coffee and capture the essence of a freshly-poured cup.
Tip: If you use Lightroom to convert to B&W, try these settings: Red=30, Green=60, Blue=10, all others = 0. According to a photography instructor, this best relates to how the eye perceives color.
