Double shot espresso

I really shouldn't be posting this Blip, but I have spent two afternoons trying to get a good shot of my little coffee pot with the reflections I wanted.  Not a hope! So much to learn and limited resources to "faff" with, I guess. I find I am rather drawn to shiny metal objects - a little à la Hobbs (but not in his class). Well, I think I will go back to my native flowers for respite after this.
My problem is, life is so busy I don't have the time I need to study these photography techniques, although I am gradually adding to my skills - just not at the pace I would like. I must read more...I must read more...I must....
My extra I liked better except there I am, right in the centre!
