That's not your usual standard Robert. 

But, "Coffee and your Camera" is a great idea...make it an open post.

 

all best..

 

I see what you mean about this shot. I shot wide open, focusing on the coffee and I should have stopped down more to get more of the shot in focus. Thanks for the critique, I'm always learning :)

I thought that if I used the timer and quickly set the camera in the scene I could get a shot of cuppa and camera but it didn't work. So, this was taken after lunch with my phone.

Is it out of focus to reflect how you saw the scene after a few glasses of wine with dinner? ;)

Unfortunately not. The auto focus on my iPhone is stuck at about 15cm. Time to buy a new one.

ETA: just discovered there is a free replacement camera from Apple (6+ model)

Just a quick shot to get the ball rolling. Hope other people contribute.a75b625007efadb87c09b8d466f54061.jpg

I notice you have a Villeroy and Boch wave coffee set. The piece of the saucer sticking out on the left is supposed to hold a couple of chocolates...

I have a decent coffee machine, for a Kiwi that is, and enjoy a decent brew each day. I'll post a shot in the coming days.

The post by "Exodies" however had me thinking to ask.

When we were in Europe in 2013, we visited quite a few places, Paris, Ax en Provence, Florence, Rome etc. Somewhere on the travels I saw (maybe I used in buying an espresso, not sure) a very nice small cup and saucer, the cup was similar to the smallish espresso size I already have, but the saucer was a different shape, very striking and unusual. I'm sure it has a set-in section where the cup sat, then a small curved area where possibly the spoon sat, or possibly accompaniments like a biscuit or chocolate? It certainly wasn't circular or even squared off like the blue one Robert posted above.
I'd dearly love to see another and buy a couple. If anyone has ideas of what I am trying to describe, please PM me, so as to keep this thread uncluttered.

So, I got off my chuff, and with a wink to RFF, took another shot of the coffee machine, and of course a Leica.

Just to get really nostalgic, I used my old ancient Leica Digilux 4.3.
