Black or White*

So you like it black or with cream? ;-)

Hope this isn't too high key. Combination of two images. One for the liquid pouring and the other for the cup, so it doesn't look too over exposed.

Thank you Lee. I really agree with the contrast comment. This one is begging me to try and re-shoot it again. Next time I'll try to show the pitcher it was poured from aswell.

Very nice Techo. * my only suggestion would be to have some contrast between the pouring cream and the background. theFly

Thanks Dorys and atothev. Let's wait and see what Rod thinks of it;-)

atothev,

Here is the exif data

For the cup portion, just Levels settings and unsharp mask was used

Shutter speed: 1/5 sec
Aperture: 4.9
Exposure mode: Manual
Exposure compensation: +2
Flash: Off
Metering mode: Evaluative
Drive mode: Single frame shooting
ISO: 50
Lens: 7 to 22mm
Focal length: 22.2mm
Subject distance: 0.45 m
Macro focus: on
AF mode: Single AF

For the liquid it was mostly the same settings. PS work, Levels, Unsharp mask and selective coloring to get more of black brownish color but the coffee was quite very black already.

Shutter speed: 1 sec
Aperture: 2.8
Exposure compensation: -2
