This image captures the mixing of black coffee and a dairy creamer. I took a glass poured some coffee, set my camera ( Canon EOS rt3i ) on auto mode, set the room in mild lighting, used the Self-timer Continuous feature, and captured 10 shots at the instant the creamer started to blend with the coffee, resulting in the flow pattern shown above.

I love the colors! This just makes me want a cup of coffee. I do think the focus could be nicer and would reveal more about the flow but it is also nice as is!
Hello Venkata,
I like the color scheme within your image. I think with a bit more editing to bring out the highlights and some focus this image could really pop. Overall though I think this image is very intriguing because I never thought to look at coffee this way.
Hi Venkata,
I love this image! One of my favorite parts of waking up is making my coffee and watching the creamer swirl around in the coffee. I agree with what others said during the critique that it might be good to have a little bit more focus.
Cool image! I really like the cloudy flow, it would be interesting to see how it would turn out with a shorter exposure!
