Dirty coffee cups in sepia with texture
These dirty coffee cups were taken with a 5×4 medium format camera and tripod. The black and white film was developed by me in the darkroom and printed. I then scanned the print and changed it to sepia. I then added a layer of texture too.
These were taken at Grange Beach, at the cafe, in South Australia, Australia.
This shot was featured in the Happy Haven group, the All Things Coffee group and the South Australian Artists group.

A lovely pic Elena. I bet this would look beautiful as a print.
Green with envy of your 4 by 5 what are you using. I am hoping to get a Speed Graphics soon.

Andy, the 5×4 isn’t mine, unfortunately. I used it when I was studying Commercial Photography at college. I am thinking of getting this done as a print, too. Many thanks very much indeed. Cheers Elana.
