Black coffee cup.

Realized with a sheet of paper inside the cup, which were consuming to produce the steam.
(at first, I was trying with hot water, but that didn't produce steam enough)
Lighing with two light box, on each side.

I liked the contrast and the light you have used. Simple, but well done.

Very nice simple photo. I like how you captured the steam rising from the mug.

Thanks for sharing,
Jessica

Ben, après tous le champagne, vin et liqueur, il fallait bien que cela se termine par un café …
Je ne sais pas si le terme nature mort s'approprie à ce genre de prise de vue …
Dans tous les cas, il vit ton café en papier brûlé … Et chaudement …
Tu peux aussi essayer «un carajillo» café + cognac que tu flambe …
Le résultat doit être sympa !!!

Fantastic in all aspects. Spotless white on pitch dark black. Great shot!

Hello Bernard, black coffe in a white cup, superb composition, colour control and light :) Most of all, to be able to capture the vapour, that is something!

I love it! Cheers, Yan

Oh feu les pompiers ….

Pas mal l’idée

Original j’attend la prochaine ….


Jean-Paul

HA-HA, wonderful idea :a burning piece of paper! I was trying to capture today some boiling stuff in my pot, and it did not work either. :)

Thank you for rating and commenting my photo!

Great, although I don't completely understand your comment. But it worked out anyway, that's what it's all about ;)

What a cool idea. This is really the way a pro works. All tricks and mindgames. I like it. The result is what counts - and I can smell coffee.

Great composition Bernard the lighting from the side is very good and the steam rizing from the middle of the cup is perfect.

so simple , so good :D
I like it , very good
well done

Bien joué, l'effet fumée n'est pas fumeux ;o) Une composition toute simple, avec un bel éclairage, bravo ! Pour moi, ce sera avec un sucre, merci...
Bonnes fêtes Bernard !

Hi Bernard

Fantastic graphism & sharpness. I like the plume of diagonal steam & the minimalist tones. Bon travail!

incroyable! magnifique! digne d'un tout grand photographe!
rien d'autre a dire!
bonne journee
A-Fr

Groete! I think this is a very good pic! Technically very well done!

Almost Zen Bernard !
The trick with the burning paper is semi-pro. Pity that the smoke didn't spread to fill the cup to the edges.
I love the view very much because of it's simplicity.

Wow - excellent tones, Bernard! Just perfect!

Gayle :)

A good minimalist approach very well carried out shot :)

Technically perfect, but I do wished some coffee could be seen.

I like how you captured the steam rising from the mug.Well done.
Mitra

This photo is really amazing Bernard, simply devine.
The wisps of steam take such a careless curve, it looks fantastic.
Black and white are always beautiful, but these two contrast one another to an extreme, and it looks amazing, it truly does!
Wonderful idea, I can't give enough reverence! :)

TFS!

Biance.
