It’s International Coffee Day today! So I hope you have been doing a Rick Nunn & attempting to drink 5 times your own body weight in coffee. There have been a surprisingly low number of coffee related shots in the last 29 days… weird but today it was needed! And I totally shot the WHOLE thing while sitting on my sofa! Awesome right?
Alternate High DOF Shot

I did this one at F/18 and banged my flash up to FULL POWER! I was pretty conflicted over which to use, but I am a shallow DOF whore so that one ended up winning.
Watch Me
You can check this shot on my flickr too (go favourite & comment yeah?), uploaded at super size so you can see all the fine details.
If you want to keep up with this project (hint: you totally do) then you should follow me on twitter & add me as a contact on flickr. #fact!
