Fruits

As you might know it’s this time of the year again where thousands of students are busy learning things they might never need again after their exams. And I’m one of these poor creatures. But because my attention span isn’t as lengthy as I wish it would be, I sometimes actively search some distraction.

For example photographing fruits. So I just show you some images (more might follow in a later post) and go back to the books…

A warm November weekend in London

In mid-November we hoisted Jolly Roger to go on account in good ol’London. Contrary to popular belief, the weather there wasn’t rainy, foggy and cold at all. We enjoyed the city in bright sunshine and 15°C. And we even had our own personal city guide Francesca.

During the four day stay in the city, we walked estimated 500km, drank a few pints of still mineral water (room temperature, without ice) in some lovely Pubs, went to a comedy club (more still mineral water), ate a healthy English breakfast and did what all tourists do: looking at things.

More photos will follow…

Two cups no girl

Been a while since the last post so here are two espresso cups.

 

Autumn arrived

After almost endless weeks of warm and sunny weather in September it eventually got cold and gray. Autumn arrived and with it the urge to collect food for the winter and to go into hibernation.

So before that happens, here are a few fresh photographs (it’s been a while since the last post):

 

To get back to the all gray part, here are some b/w versions:

 

 

Espresso cups

I’m kind of a coffee addict, especially when at work. But at the office I don’t have such cool espresso cups like I do at home. So it’s time to present them in the proper light.

I used normal plain white copy paper as background / surface and a single Canon Speedlite 430EX II (off camera) was the only light source.

The subject is just perfect for a little collage, isn’t it?

The last one is a little bit different. Still espresso cups but this time photographed from above with increased brightness for a (nearly) plain white surface.
