Before the cup... by joysabin

Before the cup...

I am capable of only a few things before coffee. I stretched it this morning, taking a picture while pouring boiling water. Now that I am drinking said cup, I am amazed that nothing went wrong.
Multitasking

How did you get a photo of pouring hot water and not burn yourself??!!

Wow - what a great image though! I love how you have made it all focus around the water. :)

Love this! Great comp and focus on the pouring water.

Now that is what I call multi tasking!
November 25th, 2019  
That is quite a talent you have- I would probably scald myself! Good shot.

LOL multitasking paid off amazingly.

Nice “coffee action” shot

Wonderful. Makes me want to take up drinking coffee again!

And this shot has the slightly dim, desaturated, feeling of early morning before that caffeine kicks in.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond used my cell phone and the kettle is very small (about 3 cups) not to mention a great deal of luck.

@robz Thank you so much. When I conceived this, it was the water that grabbed by eye.

@jernst1779 You are so kind, thank you so much for the fav.

@fbailey It a good thing that no one else was around, I might have dropped everything. Coffee is a very 'don't bother Mom until after the cup is at least half finished, thing in this house.:):)

@olivetreeann I went to pour over years ago. I was so tired of coffee makers dying on me.My old copper kettle, a metal filter and a HUGE cup is now second nature. It also helps that no one else likes coffee but me.

@mzzhope Thank you so very kindly for the fav. I probably couldn't pull this off again if you paid me. The stars must have been aligned just so this morning. :):)

@amyk Action before coffee is always dicey. Thank you so much.

@francoise I have one cup, okay its a large one but, with pour over I get to be involved all the way through. Truly very grateful for the fav, thank you a great deal.

@gardencat Strong coffee is a must, I did up the contrast in a weak attempt to capture the steam swirl but the coffee still tasted just right. I'm just happy that I have practiced this maneuver often. :):)

Lol, love your commentary, and great focus.

I'm into delayed gratification before I luxuriate and sit down with my pot of coffee. Always take Maggie out for a walk first and, oh boy, does that coffee taste good when I get back.

I agree with you. First, coffee! Great action shot.
