A journey of photographic adventure, Two Views was born by two friends having a blast and learning from each other on a photo shoot in the autumn sunshine, asking the question “How can we continue to push our photographic boundaries in terms of technical knowledge, new challenges and creativity and have fun at the same time?” The answer we came up with was to set ourselves a project every two weeks, and then publish the results together. Two Views of the same subject / idea or technical approach. By the end of this year we will have covered 26 subjects and produced at least 50+ awesome photographs, and have learned a huge amount along the way! We’d love your comments, critiques and ideas, and if you want to “play along” too, please do let us have your shots by links in the comments sections! TJ & The Brunette

Coffee by TJ


I wasn't quite sure how to tackle this assignment. I had thought of going to one of the big coffee shops and getting some shots of coffee, the decor the machines etc, but my visits to such places are pretty infrequent. So I turned my attention to trying to photograph a cup of coffee, but I just wasn't 100% happy with the results in spite of venturing outside into he garden to try and get some better lighting. So I decided to go with a closed shot of coffee out of the jar in macro mode, which leaves plenty of detail for the viewer to look at and how often does anyone really get right up close and personal to coffee?
