I've been working on my holiday photos again, and I always do some with hot drinks for cold snowy days and nights. I am still working with the hot coffee, the steam rising is a serious challenge for photographing. I'm getting close though. I've tried so many things, the soaked and microwaved cotton balls behind the cup seem to be the best answer, but getting them in the right place is tricky. I do not want to use flash, that's what makes this tougher for me. Stubborn. LOL
First is a hot cuppa with a cinnamon stir stick and cinnamon rolls, then a lovely cup of hot cocoa with the same.
Nikon D7100, 58mm, ISO 800, 1/400 sec (need fast shutter speed for the steam), f/2.8, tripod, remote trigger, continuous light from left and right with varied intensity and diffusion, on black glass with Christmas tree in back.
