What Else?  by jamibann

What Else?

I'm letting you into all of my addictions now ... this is another ... coffee! My kids gave me a box of each of these new, Nespresso capsules at Christmas. I'm not too sure about them though - a little too much exotic flavour in them - Vanilla Amaretti, Vanilla Cardamom and Ciocco Ginger. I'll stick to my Roma and Livanto in future I think! Bokeh achieved by using crumpled tinfoil, if you're interested.
Oh very nice had the Vanilla Amaretti at my Sisters yesterday... very nice.. One of my little treats as well... nice shot...

Surprise! I thought they were thimbles. Sounds delicious though. Love the tinfoil idea! Works beautifully.

Neat shot - what a great idea to use crumpled tinfoil to produce the bokeh.

Would make a wonderful advert! I love both coffee and vanilla but I don't really enjoy them together, unless it's an iced coffee made with vanilla ice cream! Cannot get my head around the ginger one. We do have a Rooibos tea here in South Africa that has ginger with it and it's very pleasant.

Enjoy the coffee, we have. Thanks for your tip.

Enjoy the coffee. I thought they were thimbles. Nice picture.

@salza Yes, ginger and tea sounds nicer than ginger and coffee. Even vanilla is a bit too much for me with coffee. However, it's nice to try something different!

Cool shot Issi and thanks for sharing your bokeh tip. Enjoy your cup (or 2) this morning!

Fabulous bokeh! Great idea and thanks for sharing the info!

I too like proper coffee, and probably drink far too much. I like how you've included the background interest. Nicely done.

très jolie photo

Awesome shot!

Amazing image...you made the ordinary extraordinary
January 7th, 2016  
Wonderful shot. I like the bokeh.
January 7th, 2016  
Love the story behind the creative shot. I confess to sharing both your addictions so far in the series.

Lovely comp and bokeh!

Nice shot -- and the bokeh is really fun.

Making something rather mundane into something beautiful.

I'm lovin' the bokeh! (And thanks for tip on how you created it.) Creative idea, setting these little cups upside down. Something tells me I'd like the cardamon one. Love that spice.

(I'm missin' 365 something fierce but it's a good thing I decided to take a break for a bit because there hasn't been a spare moment for anything since the new year got started.)

Wonderful bokeh shot.

This is SO appealing!! I love the balance, symmetry, and the bokeh. Fabulous.
January 8th, 2016  
I am a basic coffee person as well! Love my drip coffee! Very interesting how you achieved the booked effect with tin foil!

@lyndemc Ah Denise, you may be missin' 365 something fierce, but we are missing you more!! I have refrained from sending you a begging message asking you to come back ... because it's not fair and only you can judge whether you have the time, energy or desire to participate. But thank you so much for popping in past and for your lovely comments. I'm still hoping that one day soon I'll log on and see a Denise photo on my thread! :-)

This is absolutely wonderful! By turning those adorable little cups upside down, it created a mystery as to what they were! And "Tin Foil"! That's awesome! Of course we'll all be wanting to give that a try now! A lovely photo presentation! (And you charming, breathy photo- text as well!)
January 8th, 2016  
@Weezilou Aw, thank you Louise for your lovely comments. Made me smile. :-)

A very attractive image Issi. I'm not sure about adding flavourings to coffee, think I prefer it plain. That said I do like Turkish coffee with it's wonderful flavours. Maybe it's because they only drink very small cups of it so the flavours don't become too much! Great effect from the foil, must try that!
January 8th, 2016  
Makes a great photo :)
January 8th, 2016  
They are very pretty objects, and the crumpled foil bokeh works well, fav.
January 9th, 2016  
Wonderful, creative shot! Thanks so much for the crumpled tin foil trick!
