Default After hours at the coffee factory

This really is the local instant coffee factory. It billows steam day and night and I thought it might be fun to make something of. Hard to get a great angle from the street, and it's kind of cluttered, but I like the colours.

Night Shift

Thanks for looking.

Awesome shot. Colors are great, but I really like the composition and the smooth look to the steam.

Mmmmmmmmmm coffee , great shot and well thought out , you are also right about the colours ,and the curve on the steam is exceptional . Does it have that smell of burnt coffee beans though? , I used to work near a coffee factory and at a certain time of day the smell was over-powering . All the best .

You've got that right, the place reeks of burnt beans. It's quite a distinctive brand of instant they make here, and not my favourite. The smell from the Cadbury factory up the road is better, but when it gets intense, even that can be nauseating after a while.

You did a great job with this one Elephunk the colours are excellent and the steam softens the light tones so well. I love this shot.

Jake.
