Iced Chai Latte…

Shooting Chai

Ok, so I love Iced Chai Latte…  it’s just Deliciousness!

Thought I’d create an image to summon up those flavors in my mind.   The Tea, the Cinnamon, the Cloves, the Allspice, the… well, you get the idea!  The stuff for a incredible Iced Chai Latte!

So, that required a visit to the Good Foods Co-Op for amazing and appropriate spices, and then to Lexington Coffee and Tea for some, well, tea!    Of course, I made the obligatory stops at Goodwill to see if there were any really cool props.  You know… unusual flatware, glassware, or plates.  Nothing of interest this day, so just my visits to those two wonderful places in the Lex to get elements for the image I had in my mind!

So, got it set up, and worked it and worked it.  I gotta make an image that says “Chai!” 

Now, here’s where I am… and understand that when I get a shot in mind, and set the lighting and the camera settings and the composition and the. the, the…

       Well, it will probably take a week or two to get the shot just where I want it.  Here’s the image from first session with the components I want in the image.   Stay tuned and see where it goes from here!  Has a way to go to get where I want it to be!

Usually I say “Enjoy!”

But tonight I should say “Chai”
