Sweet Tea

Soooooo, this was how my picture began. Clearly it needed a whole bunch of work considering the picture is pretty much blank. In this picture I had just snooted the flash and was trying to find the garnish in the drink.

In this picture, I finally found the garnish in the drink with the snooted flash. That kinda took a while.

In this picture, I turned on the flash underneath the glass so that I could get the lighting through the drink. In order to get the light just under the drink, I cut a hole in a black poster board, put a piece of plexiglass over it, and then put the flash underneath the hole underneath the plexiglass.

This is pretty much the same picture, but I cropped it closer in and to the side. I figured it looked kinda artsy haha

Overall I really enjoyed taking this picture because I like to do project photography. Its fun to have an idea and actually complete it. I plan on doing it again, and the next time I want bigger pieces of ice in the drink. Preferably acrylic pieces of ice so that they wont melt. I think that this will give the drink some more texture that I did't get with the crushed ice.
