Cryptocurrency and Coffee - Free Stock Images

avatar
(Edited)

Inspired by the prolific author @cryptoandcoffee, I wanted to create a series of Creative Commons Images for those who appreciate two finer things: #Crypto and #Coffee. After raiding my cupboards for #coffeebeans, I decided that the roast needed to be darker; fortunately, there was a lot of cheap dark roast coffee around.

I had to research some more licencing as I got some more coins shipped to me, so for reference:

Finally, it was showtime, so I got my trusty Sony A6600 and a handful of photography light, mixed it all, and this is what we get!

With these two #Bitcoin photos, I wanted to capture a cinematic look with the blue and orange. And then try and highlight the golden tones with the green light.

The #ETH #coin I have is very reflective, so I used the overhead light to highlight it in red and contrast it with the photography. I like how the last two came out when I accidentally knocked the bowl and managed to reflect the light straight into the lens.

Ethereum in Coffee Blue

Ethereum in Coffee Bright-Red

Finally, with #Litecoin, I returned to the more cinematic #amber and #cyan to highlight the lines on the #LTC coin. The final photo was a happy accident as I knocked the light red, and it looked pretty lovely despite having a red overhead light on.

All of these photos are taken by me on my Sony A6600 using a Sigma 50mm f1.4 Lens.

I am licencing these under the CC-BY-SA 4.0 International; if you are inclined to thank me, add me as a beneficiary to your post when you use them, I would be hugely grateful.

If you have ideas for shots you want to use in your posts, ping me in the comments, and I will see what I can do!

Nicely done Richard. I like the color effects to bring out the details. A great "blend" of photography, crypto and coffee - perhaps it's a Crypto Roast?

Nice camera, but I am curious about the light source specifics. Gelled flash mono heads?

Thanks for your comment, I use Small Rig LED panels, as they have a decent battery and you can control the colour modes between CCT White and RGB.

Thank you so much for your support of my @v4vapp proposals in the past, my previous one expired this week.

I'd be really happy if you would continue supporting my work by voting on this proposal for the next 6 months:

Additionally you can also help this work with a vote for Brianoflondon's Witness using KeyChain or HiveSigner

If you have used v4v.app I'd really like to hear your feedback, and if you haven't I'd be happy to hear why or whether there are other things you want it to do.
