Object Challenge- COFFEE

March 25th, 2011
There were some seriously beautiful candle photos last week, wow. Here are just 4 to show off, but really there is no way I could put up all the ones I loved there were so many.



1. Top Left- @sarahbeth_photo
2. Top Right- @loopy12
3. Bottom Left- @ivy_box
4. Bottom Right- @karenr

As far as this week......

Have you ever thought of how crazy it is that the people on this site, or photographers and artists in general can look at the same exact subject in such a different way? That we can find one object, yet the photographs that spawn from our imaginations of that exact same object are completely and totally different.
I propose a weekly challenge! Each week, on Friday, I will name an object that we all take a photo of. Then we post them on this thread and see how completely different each of us saw that object! (and of course suggestions for objects each week are COMPLETELY welcome!)
How about this week we do...*drumroll please*....COFFEE!!

There are so many possibilities for coffee. And it's something readily available to everyone! How can you get creative with coffee?

Let's tag this week's can "objectchallenge-coffee".
March 25th, 2011
Mmmmm....I may just have to participate in this one! =D
March 25th, 2011
Here's a few examples to get you started off:



March 25th, 2011
Hm, I didn't specifically take this for this challenge - but it's still a coffee shot and shows my love for the black gold... lol! Does that still count? ;-)

March 25th, 2011
Ok, not very creative here.. but, two things I love.. coffee and the Boston Bruins!

March 25th, 2011
@amyhughes Amazing theme Amy! This is gonna be funny! Can't wait to go to the city and make some coffee shots!
March 25th, 2011
Congrats to the top 4, awesome shots.!!!
March 25th, 2011
I took this yesterday to focus on the caffeine withdrawl I put myself in.
March 25th, 2011

March 26th, 2011
@eileenmabalot very nice!!
March 26th, 2011
@sarahhorsfall awesome processing!
March 26th, 2011
Do the photos need to be taken this week?
I have this one from a while ago..
March 26th, 2011
Do I need to add my pic here or do I just put the "objectchallenge-coffee" in my tags?
March 26th, 2011
@renelou nah!! it's not a competition, it's just to give ideas, so feel free to use old ones! And then also take some new ones this week if you can't think of anything to shoot :)
March 26th, 2011
@gilly both please! lots of people look back here to see the shots.
March 26th, 2011
Erm...Being new - How do I add it to here please?
March 26th, 2011
@gilly :D on the right side, toward the bottom of your page with the photo you want to add, you'll see a box that says "Share". Make sure you copy all of it, and then you just paste that code in here and voila!!
March 26th, 2011
Ah ok - thanks!! Is it one entry per person?
March 26th, 2011
March 26th, 2011
@gilly ahhh!!! the MECCA!!! it's beautiful :D
March 26th, 2011
Thanks. Are we only allowed to do one entry?
March 26th, 2011
coffee is like a cup of sunshine in the morning....it is my essential wake up:)

March 26th, 2011
This is a fairly recent one of Brenda http://365project.org/liipgloss/365 taken at Maccas Newcastle. I love this one...cant figure out how the clown reflection ended up in the background...





An older one from my early macro craze



@Brandy W - Love the perspective on the starbucks one
@Michelle Gaynor - Love the motion drip drop
March 26th, 2011

I cannot live without coffee, so I'll definitely give this a go!

I've taken a few coffee pictures in the past, but none really good enough to post here, so I'll try and do some new ones...
March 26th, 2011
@gilly no way!! go for it, fill this page up full of coffee if you want ;)
March 26th, 2011
@kira lol....is that a lens cap in her bosom???
March 26th, 2011
ok so this one I posted back on February 19th so probably does not count for challenge but still love how it turned out and dont really think I could top it but might not stop me from trying :)
March 26th, 2011
My favorite thing in the world is coffee! Here is my submission!
March 26th, 2011
@relicsong all of those are beautiful! I especially love the reflection of the window swirls in the coffee!!
March 26th, 2011
@rbobh69 that is a HUGE coffee mug!! lol!! I love coffee too, but that is LOVE there Bob!
March 26th, 2011
@amyhughes I can't lie. I don't drink coffee out of those little mugs. Nope, only huge mugs work for me ;-)
March 26th, 2011
Ahhhhh....my vitamins!
March 26th, 2011

March 27th, 2011
@amyhughes WOW! Thanks Amy...")
March 27th, 2011

March 27th, 2011

March 27th, 2011
@marydreams ~ gorgeous! now i want to drink coffee! :)

April 4th, 2011
April 4th, 2011
@amyhughes
i don't know which objects challenges there have been, but some ideas: books, doors, teddybears, toys,... I don't know
April 5th, 2011
@amyhughes What about lights? Could be lamps, car lights, Christmas lights.....might end up with some awesome bokeh :-) My husband's suggestion....a Little Tykes plastic slide....creative seeing as there is one sitting in our living room ;-) Good luck coming up with another awesome object!
April 5th, 2011
I know that this is after the challenge has finished, but just had to share this sexy little coffee machine with all the addicts... ;-D
April 5th, 2011
