Coffee anyone?

I know, I know the coffee maker has bad reflections on it. I'm going to get a polarizer tonight.

Nice pic! Good composition and I like colours.
Would like to know how it would look with the cup in focus.

Please post the results with polarizer. I wanted to buy one, but then I solved my problem with taking two pics (one with reflections, one without) and combining them is PS (this pic, if you want to have a look)
So I would like to see the polarizer in action.

A polarizer won't do you any good with that shot. It doesn't do anything about reflections off of metal... and on top of that, I don't think it does anything with artificial light on any surface (I could be wrong on that one though)


Edit: IS that metal? At second glance I can't tell...could be plastic.

Try at night and use a flash,that should cut down on the reflection.

IMO RICKO

It is a cheap metal knockoff, plastic with a metallic paint job. Thanks for the comments.

I went to my local camera shop (they're a big ripoff) and it was $299 for a 73mm circular polarizer. There is no way in hell I'm paying that much. I guess I'm gonna hold off on it until after christmas when I can order from BH. Sorry count zero

Light painting is definatly the way to go. Bounce light of a reflector card onto the pot

No reason to say sorry.
Cant Blame you for doing the same as i did

Maybe the technique I used can help you.
If you want I can post the two shots and the final image, so you can imagine better what could be done with this technique.
Tell me if your interested and I will post them as soon as Im at home (@work right Now)

I'd love to see the images.

I took this one with light from front, because I wanted this golden shadow on the wall. But there was a huge reflection in the bottle and the can:

Wow that is a good idea, it turned out really good. I'll have to try it sometime, thanks man.

Thx!
I hope this will work for you. If not on the above picture, maybe you can use it later

Nice work, your combination evened out the lighting very well........I hope you rewarded yourself with a large one of that lovely drop.

yeh these are really nice

Thx!
Hehe, No, I didn't open the bottle yet. Still waiting for a special opportunity. Because I got this one as a gift.
