OK, here we go. Every time I drink a coffee and I happen to have my camera with me, I photograph the cup before consuming. This has lead to one or two interesting chats with café owners. :D I've got dozens of the bloody things now.

Entries don't have to be a close up of a cup in a café though, or they can be if you want, but they can have a much wider aspect and can be at home or anywhere else for that matter. As long as there's a cup or mug of coffee in the pic somewhere, that's fine.

I've cut and pasted dr orloff's original "rules" in case there's anyone who didn't see the first assignment - all I've done is change the date.
Quote:
This is a supplementary competition to run alongside the monthly competition. The intention is to get people snapping so photos must be taken within the timeframe of the competition.

If there is enough interest I will pick my favourite photo with brief comments at the end of the assignment and the winner will then set set the next theme and act as judge, etc.

The assignment will run until Thursday 12th August. This is just to start the ball rolling but obviously I won't be judging it:

Terrible picture - poor lighting, nice cup of coffee though, the only time I have milk in a coffee is at breakfast ;)

This isn't my entry but I have just realised that my mug is celebrating its 20th season! Maybe I should make a commemorative mug.

I suddenly feel terribly old.

Good detective work but if you dusted for prints you would discover that I'm right handed with a tendency not to hold mugs by the handle!

The typeface shows its age!

(don't worry - the mug is now empty so it's ok to balance on the keyboard)

The coffee in the cup looks like a red nose, the shadow under the cup makes a sort of smile, and the letters of "club" look like batting eyelashes :lol:
It just requires a bit of imagination ;))

They've all gone off to drink something a bit stronger this weekend, raindog. I'm sure they'll all need a lot of coffee after that, so I'm sure they'll be back. :))

I couldn't take my eyes off the Marlboro - I've been off them for so long, but there are Marlboro moments.

Really good participation and very nice to see entries from those who don't often dabble with the photo section. And there are some nice imaginative takes on the theme as well.

I can also take a photo of Civaux :D It's always there, letting me know I am nearly home. Cannot tell, from the photo, which way you're looking at it.
