Behind the Machine

I visit Exchange so frequently that I think I can get away with a few things, though I do always ask nicely to make sure. Most of the time. I've always been envious of people who can take really cool shots at cafes, so I decided this was my best chance to do so too. I had the perfect excuse of testing out a new lens! Isn't it so pretty? I managed to be let in so that I could see if I could get some extraction shots. Here's how they turned out:It was rather dark so the shots were grainy, and I didn't figure out till later that what I actually needed was a really fast shutter speed too, so that's something I'll keep in mind for next time.And a mid-pour shot! My barista jokingly referred to this as doing a similar shot to that of an Instagram person I follow, but alas, actually getting a chair out and standing over someone is too extreme for me and my short lens!But that is a cool shot.And me testing out my new lens on some crazy good looking croissants!
