# 26 HOT BEVERAGES (Sheldon--Big Bang)

Hi guys,
     It's been a busy week and it's Sunday morning and Oh sh___!  I need some pics.   I tried a cup of hot coffee and I couldn't see the steam.  I need a light source and dark background.  Sorry but this is gonna take some time.  I hear it's not easy.
     We're heading out this morning so I'm kinda bowing out this week.  Here's a study in still life.  I liked the BLUE theme throughout the setup.
      I actually had a few minutes to try different flash applications.  I have a popup flash on my camera and I did one open shot.  It was too bright and left shadows. Then I covered the flash with paper towel one layer and then two.  One layer diffused the light in this one shot real well and gave a nice even light everywhere. 
Gotta run so I'm publishing early.
Sorry,
Burr

Everything you need for a hot beverage

  3. Great interpretation, I'm glad you had fun! By the way, what in the heck is "agave", and how is it used?!

    1. You silly girl....Agave nectar is a "substitute" for honey. It's a sweetener. LOL - search around Jonathan's cupboards and I'm positive you'll find some so you can take a little taste!

    2. Low glycemic index sweetener. Put it in your coffee.

  4. Great tip with using a paper towel to diffuse the too bright flash!
