This is just a bit of advertising next to some photography to show the nice bokeh of the Jupiter-8 lens.
Just showing some progress on my soon to pen coffee shop in Hue. So if you’re in Hue come and visit from mid. November and check out the Facebook page for more updates here.

Morning Coffee

GRD, f5, 1/400, ISO 64, JPG – Taken on 20/01/2007

This is another of my favorite pictures and one that I could only take because the GRD I is fast to power on and ready to take the shot. Took it at Luxor airport just before boarding the bus. When I saw the scene it looked nice but when I saw the driver with the coffee it made it perfect and I had to get the shot.

Sundy Coffee

GRD, f4.5, 1/10, ISO 200, RAW

A lazy Sunday afternoon and what better to do than go out and have a coffee. I like the picture and used a slow shutter speed to capture the steam rising.
The tite is not a typo but a reference to Sundy Coffee a rip-off bar in Shanghai where “students” try to take you and have you pay a lot of money for their drinks. While we did not go inside we managed to take a picture of the drinks menu and believe me it is very expensive. So if you’re in Shanghai on Nanjing Road do not follow “students” to this place and take them to Starbucks instead, a lot more fun and cheaper ;).
You can see a picture of the menu here.
