Coffee planet with flying cup
This is for Ilse's coffee challenge - ashamed to say there were no beans in the house and we pulled out our coffee trees some years ago, so here is some instant coffee on a blue plate with a magic flying saucers, er I mean cup. Planet coffee for those of you who have never been there, it is very high. Look at Ilse's post and the other links. Want to join? Fabulous

For those of you who want to know how to do this, really simple. First I got the jar of instant coffee, then the blue enamel plate, then made a funnel out of baking paper and dropped the coffee onto the plate. Put my macro on and shot away. Of the 20 shots decided which one I liked best. Found another picture with a cup on it. Layered it onto the coffee granule shot and positioned it to suit me. Then took the erasor and worked on the difference between the two layers (where there is a line between the layers) - soft-edged brush with a diameter of around 200 px, opacity at 100%. Works a treat. Then adjust the contrast of the image now. FLatten image. Et voila coffee spaceship in the blue sky with flying coffee grounds
