Nice ones, Forno! #5 is my favorite, and I like #3 a lot also. Are those with the 50mm lens?

Yeh, it sits on the stove, percolates the coffee and generates steam for doing the milk. Very sensitive to how coarse or fine you grind the coffee, to coarse and you dont get enough steam for the milk, too fine and either you burn the coffee or the safety valve releases. Get it right and it makes an awesome coffee

Awesome. Now go make me some coffee. I'd do it but with my guesstimation methods I wouldn't wanna go and break your perk-you-later. :D

Everythings so black and white with you Forno :p
*** Ali Baba takes a step back now***

Is that a reflection of a cameraman in the 2nd photo ?

For me, I like the cups in the arc photo....almost a "Circle the Wagons" image.

There is no "true" white in the photo which you would expect from these type of cups and saucers ?

Therefore, the metering has given it more of a "grey" tint.




Forno....I told you to leave it in colour.....but no, you wouldn't listen.....now look at the trouble you've caused me.

You fall asleep for 10 lousy minutes and the instructor picks that exact moment to ask you a question.......what's the chances of that :eek:
