Seattle’s Best

Photo by: Amber V


This picture I look just for fun. I was in Bellevue at a public park, just gotten my Starbucks and it was a really sunny day. I like that the sun is shining in the corner of the picture and that the whole cup is in focus. I like that not the whole Starbucks logo is in the picture. To me it makes the picture looks more creative with my name in the center focus, it personalizes the picture instead of just a coffee cup. My ISO setting was set at a medium low setting because of the glare of the sun and I was shooting in Priority mode with a white balance of cloudy. There isn’t really anything that I dislike about this picture.

This photo is adorable! It reminds me of waking up to a cup of coffee with the sun shining and all of the birds chirping. I love the bright blue sky and the lush green grass; they compliment each other. The only thing that I was wondering about is if you did anything on photoshop with it. Great job!

You pretty much mentioned everything that I love about this picture. The sun coming out from the side and the rays of light are amazing! I'm glad it isn't coming out from the very top corner, like a little kids crayon picture, where it is in the picture makes it much more interesting. I also like that only part of the logo is showing, like you said. Overall very well done.

I really like pictures like these. I love how the sun is in the background. I think the cup could be a little brighter though, not much.

This photo is my new favorite from your school. The way it stands out. I really like how the focus is only on the cup and also i like how your name is in the photo. Starbucks usually never writes your name on it, well at least for me. So this photo makes it unique. I love photos when the sun is coming into the photo, like yours for example. Very good job.

I don’t really like how the main thing you see when you look at this photo is the sun. I think you should have burred that out a little and sharpened the coffee cup a bit. Also the whole cup is not in complete focus, is looks a little blurry but that could just be because the light from the sun. Other than that it’s an okay photo. The placement of the cup is cool altho the color is a bit dark, but thats ok. It would have been a great photo if you just fixed those problems.

This is a pretty cool picture. I liked how you used the rule of thirds in your photo and the sun in the background. The only thing I would change is to lighten up the starbucks cup a little.

I really enjoy this photo because of the lighting it is perfect, and creates a great lighting effect against the side of your cup adding more character to the photo. Great photo and I’ve noticed you take lots of pictures of cups.

I really like this photo because of the lighting. It reminds me of a nice summer day laying in the grass, drinkin your coffee. I like how you got the grass in there also, it shows the contrast between the grass and the sky. Great Picture!

I really liked the lighting in this picture, I thought it was a very creative and the cup filled the frame really nicely.

Well first of all I really dig using Starbucks as props! I do it all the time and the photos always seem to turn out nice, so I definitely love this. I feel like the subject is your name and it’s just a really pretty angle. Also I like the sun gleaming in the corner onto the cup.
The lighting was perfect; it makes the grass look really cool too!
The mood is super happy and normally I’d say summer is reflected here, though I know it’s Fall. Great work!
