Great shot MikeM! You know, I instantly recognized where you were going with that one.

Thanks! The science nerd in me couldn't help but put a chemistry spin on the assignment .

There appears to be another MikeM. I'm not him, I'm me.

Assignment:Coffee

Really big thanks to Bon-Amici, a cafe in Toowoomba Qld. I was up there for work, and love to grab a coffee from there whenever I'm in town. I asked if I could jump behind the counter and take some shot of coffee being poured. However I made a rookie mistake, too high an ISO, and didn't account for light and movement... not one of those shots were any good.

However as I sat down to enjoy my expresso, I chose a table with some really unique lighting curtosy of a down light, and some sunlight coming in through the windows. So I still got a shot I really liked.

Hopefully you do as well.

Default Assignment: Coffee

Assignment: Coffee

This is my second assignment

I personaly don't like the taste of coffee, but my father does And sometimes I watch him drink coffee while he's doing his work. And I remember this one day when I was about 13 years old and I asked him why he likes to drink coffee so much. And he said that he likes the taste so much that he got addicted to it. So I figured coffee is his treasure. And that's where this idea came from.

For some people coffee really is a treasure

- Camera: Canon EOS 400D

skyman8,

Great idea and execution. I really like the color tone which matches coffee mood and the lightning.

Assignment: Coffee

threesixtyfive - day 38

So I don't drink coffee...never liked the stuff...and when presented with an assignment to come up with a creative photo of "coffee" I came up with this. My drink of choice in the morning is orange juice. So why do I own a coffee maker you ask? It's for our coffee-drinking visitors!

I assume most of you drink coffee for the lovely little chemical it contains: caffeine, chemically known as trimethyl xanthine. And here it is!

Awesome! Way to think outside the box!
