Thai Iced Tea My Entry for the worldsdailyfood Contest Monday Drinks

I photographed this Thai Iced Tea drink repeatedly one day while I was trying to become a stock photographer, a food photographer, a restaurant photographer, or just any kind of photographer at all.

This was back in my early days of social media marketing. I think this essay goes into the category that "if you do not try and fail, you will never improve!"

I used a [Canon ELPH160 point and shoot camera](https://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-ELPH-160-Silver/dp/B00RKNMORM/?tag=viglink23646-20) for these photos, since that was what I had at the time.

These shots are in the order I took them. After I look, I will enter the "best" of them into the [worldsdailyfood contest](https://steemit.com/worldsdailyfood/@travelsbyblue/3516su-world-s-daily-food-photo-contest-monday-drinks-winner-s-announcement) by @travelsbyblue. Monday's contest is for drinks, so here I am!

There is a person behind it. Bad composition.

Hmmm.... It's a little dark.
![Thai iced tea sublimesunday untitled shoot-223-2.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmcCiod5x7BHjvvqjAyH7WeYfFfbBG2Zmbni8fu14k9S5U)

So I moved it near the window.
![Thai iced tea sublimesunday untitled shoot-279.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmS3FUFQGsUkHWbmqiKwZL5NnY9v1LjFR2SxQC6o1JyyHb)

This one seems to be exactly the same as the last one, but I assure you it is not.
![Thai iced tea sublimesunday untitled shoot-279.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmS3FUFQGsUkHWbmqiKwZL5NnY9v1LjFR2SxQC6o1JyyHb)

Now I tried a sample of this yummy drink and put in on the edge of the table looking like it might be in danger of getting knocked over.
![Thai iced tea sublimesunday untitled shoot-251.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmSsB815Y2D1hWtpjEFWyn8keFHqjYasGV4ZkRXRDxs3dZ)

Back to the window; now with a bit of a view. I think they need to paint at this restaurant in Coronado, California.

![Thai iced tea sublimesunday untitled shoot-301.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmWfivauc9dgosb9jMW4nyQ7ctqVvnTBLQmrp3rw2pyjYY)

Back to the edge of the table for a close up!
![Thai iced tea sublimesunday untitled shoot-248.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmVH3KHm2ukV8uMapb6Rkx4f3DhPCyz1XPqneJtgfno6xB)

Oops! All gone. Who wants to see that?
![Thai iced tea sublimesunday untitled shoot-190-2.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmZ8wskKVknKoK91AmTfsdojkCwaVywKEH3CZBp6d68VRy)

Maybe farther away with a view of the interior. No.
![Thai iced tea sublimesunday untitled shoot-201-2.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmPxh5peE83u2rD7rQD3fRUxrZw5WYat5RNrEGWSA6vstB)

Let's blow out the highlights! Did I use a flash maybe?
![Thai iced tea sublimesunday untitled shoot-212-2.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmPBDYGitKNQo8zPT15DqUXEum3NqGRSLvriNteR7LhJZx)

Now the lady statue is growing out of the drink. Nice!
![Thai iced tea sublimesunday untitled shoot-224-2.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmS6r2LvSKZtc2JhujvgGqmUhECN4YFbqrHTir9gfPY6T1)

Better, I guess.
![Thai iced tea sublimesunday untitled shoot-243.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmRGQLhwJDLcBEyis7rTp7f7TUYeS9FsLv69Sy2UKgLFJR)

And now worse again...
![Thai iced tea sublimesunday untitled shoot-244.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmPD4CVxJE3YjQy5tC8R8TjSzjLreCmUj4EztWznQ29itF)

Now with a refill, no flower, food, and hiding behind my water!
![Thai iced tea sublimesunday untitled shoot-101-2.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmbJmXqU5u1XMFPeJgnfchPFJJyoz13gHJ9c2JRdU9RBEd)

So what is the prize winner out of all these bad shots? I need to choose one and put it in the comments of the [contest post](https://steemit.com/worldsdailyfood/@travelsbyblue/3516su-world-s-daily-food-photo-contest-monday-drinks-winner-s-announcement), so BRB...

#### TaDa!

This is the fourth photo from up above and I like it better than the almost identical second photo for some reason.

![Thai iced tea sublimesunday untitled shoot-279.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmS3FUFQGsUkHWbmqiKwZL5NnY9v1LjFR2SxQC6o1JyyHb)

#### What did I learn?
- I'm glad I gave up trying to be a pro photographer.
- Photos before you start the drink are better than after.
- Do not hide your subject behind other food.

Statistics say that only 5% of people with health resolutions for the New Year will still be on track after Super Bowl Sunday. Is your fitness equipment still out handy, and are you still on a "diet?"

I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods. I started on December 5th and did not give up. You can do it too!

This is Sharon @fitinfun. I am posting:
- Healthy Food Ideas on @fitinfunfood
- Motivation Minnow Tips and Everything Else on @fitinfun

- @bxlphabet is posting Southern California, steemmonsters and dtube videos.

Please follow along or contact me directly if you would like some individual help with weight loss and health. Anyone can do this if I did.

I never drink ice tea, it is not what I like and what you buy in shops or get at restaurants over here is closer to lemonade

As I see it is more ice cubes as "tea". Also something I do not like... paying for ice cubes that hurt every nerve in my mouth and face.
