Eat A Cup Of Coffee?

This is what my (freeze-dried instant) coffee looks like before I add hot water, sugar, non-dairy creamer and Bailey's. (Sometimes, a great big scoop of rum raisin ice-cream gets thrown in too!)

I was trying out my new Sony NEX-C3 and macro lens. Anything smaller than my thumbnail was taken hostage and duly shot. The coffee was an early victim. 8D

This is super. Love it

[Jason Daniels]

while I do not like coffee, keep an eye on my project, because I predict a coffee shot in March... early March, first week.

great focus here eh?

[eva]

Superb close-up.

[Shirley Chetwynd]

Love your sense of humour Livia, although i don't like freeze dried coffee, this makes for an awesome pic. haha does it still taste like coffee with all those extra goodies in it.

[jerry plume]

That new lens takes as good of shot as that coffee sounds! Love the tiny detail!

[Corey]

Who knew freeze dried coffee looks like tiny rocks! Great macro.

[alia_801]

Sounds like a fun time with your macro lens! I love how they make everything look so different - including your coffee :) Sounds like it should have tasted pretty good!

[Denise Regan]

mmm coffee......

[Mags]

LOL! Good shot! Who knew?!

[Brian Baptie]

Looks as though you are going to have lots of fun with that new camera!! Wonderful.

[T-Dogg]

That looks so detailed and crisp :)

[Tabbycat]

Looks like pebbles on a British beach,but all studio-lit..~ Jealous of your new lens! Hope you enjoy the crap out of it!! :-)

[Peter de Graaff]

This is why I make espresso. Great photo

[D Enezi]

Gorgeous details... I would have never guessed it was instant coffee.

[summerfield]

looks like sugar crumbles. i get very strong reaction to coffee ever since i hit fifty so i stay away from it. but i love rum-raisin ice cream! nice macro shot.

[Sally Ings]

Great shot, would never have guessed it was coffee granuls! They look like stone or rock particles :-)

[Aleksandra]

I love the way macro makes you look at something ordinary in an extraordinary way! After my attempts at the beach today, I first throught this was tiny pebbles too! Great shot! Time for a coffee I think!

[Louie]

Nice shot. Love the focus and the tones here. I agree with Sally @salza; I would have guessed rocks.

[Howard Steele]

Wow looks huge great shot

[Display name? Ummm....]

Never seen coffee in this form before, is that weird? But this is a very great shot :)

[Margaret Tryon]

LOL Wonderful hostage. Sounds like fun. Terrific shot Livia.

[FaerieMoon]

How bizarre looking! It looks like some sort of sweet candy

[Cheyenne Rebecca ツ]

I'll take a cup!!! Awesome detail!!!

[Beth]

Nice texture. I would have thought I was looking at rocks without your note. Congratulations on your new lens. Boy, does that rum-raisin ice-cream sound good.

[Debbie Orlando]

The closup makes it look like anything BUT coffee granules.

[Pyrrhula]

I prefer real coffee, The best = espresso But I remember when I visit the U.S.A. I was glad to have to have freeze dried instant coffee .
Thank you for you so nice comment The fireworks was regularly , it`s how I did pic and did the cut out

[Dione Giorgio]

Great close-up!

[Vignesh]

Great Shot :)

[karenann]

LOL Love your comment! I'd have never guessed that this was coffee! I honestly thought that it could be "dog kibbles!" (Dried dog food) Anything tiny better watch out in your house right now! Not a big coffee fan, but I'd love to see a cup of your coffee AFTER you've got all of those ingredients in it!! I'm a cuppa tea person ever since we lived in England for three years. Great photo, Livia. :)

[Michelle]

Fantastic! great shot.

[Ulpi]

Great details Livia!

[Catherine W.]

Great close up! I don't really like coffee but maybe I would if I added rum raisen ice cream! Sounds good!

[Mooska]

Love the sound of your coffee, especially the Baileys addition. Great macro shot, i didn't even realise this was coffee looking at the image.
