A few more shots

mkoop · Feb 6, 2011

Well after some advise on the shots I took this morning (thanks everyone) I had quite some time at work tonight to read up a bit on composition. I got home and was chomping at the bit to take some more photos but being past midnight I didn't have any sunlight to work with so tried to figure out something in-doors to do. I attempted to apply some technique to these (attempted). All I know after today is that I have a lot to learn

Anyhow let me know what you think, tips and pointers on what I could do better are much appreciated!

Maybe try a different angle.....

@naomita - what would you suggest to give them more life? I do love my coffee as well!

@Tired - Haha you know I was thinking that as I was taking the pictures - I was working over my kitchen sink and tried some funky positions with the tripod but couldn't get anything stable enough. Maybe next time I will figure out a way to do this where I have more mobility around the water drop.

OK, I will update the pic #2 a little, if you don't mind. Pic #1 is a little "dirtish", and pic #3 I don't like cropping. So in a few minutes.

You are always welcome. All I made is - I added a little contrast and brightness and added sharpness, what makes pic a little glamorous, and makes it breathe ))) good luck with that!
