I suppose that I did enjoy that wine a little too much last night. But, there again it’s the only way I could understand the film “Underground” - a strange European film. Enjoyable, but a little incoherent (rather like my head this morning).
So, wanting to wake up a little, I prepared myself an espresso. It might be that I was a little fragile this morning, but I was really struck by the beauty of the colours and the bubbles in the crema on top. Sometimes, I will just take a photo when I see something that I like. I work in communications, and photos like these come in really useful for simple posters or leaflets.
My main camera is a GX20 - perfectly fine (in fact, I love it!), but sometimes a little unwieldy to get out and snap a quick photo. A compact like the IT100 is perfect for times like this. Light in the hand (important, when you are feeling a little tired…), and the ISO goes down to 80. Perfect for capturing lifelike colours. I shot this handheld, and was really pleased at the crispness and detail in the bubbles that I got in the natural light from the kitchen.
This is straight from the camera too, with no fiddling about in a photo editing application.
And the espresso? Gulped down in one after the photo - a perfect one shot in both senses of the word!
