The rice is blue because of an extract taken from the flower.

And after all that Thai food which I have to confess, I am not a fan of. A bit of English Pub grub!


The last time I posted in @photography-lovers was when I asked for, and got some brilliant help and advice on my night-time aircraft photos.

I took on board everyone's advice and suggestions of Apps to use and so decided to give @derangedvision's photography contest a spin this week. This week's subject is food, and I'm in Thailand where it is a legal requirement to take a photo of your food before putting spoon-to-mouth. This I figure, is because when you end up violently puking after eating some dodgy street food, you will be able to look back and see what made you ill...

Anyway, the pics were all taken on my old Mi Note 9 which is a fairly cheap phone but does take reasonable photos. When I see all the professional and semi-pro photos in the photo communities, they are often vivid, bright and sharp and no matter how much fiddling, there is no way you can reproduce the quality that a decent camera produces. The photos on my phone aren't sharp enough and there seems to be a lot of 'noise' especially when you crop and zoom.

The pictures here were fiddled with on Google photos as well as giving Snapseed, thanks to Mac for that and IrfanView, thanks to @thomasthewolf for that suggestion. I have to say though, I didn't really know what I was doing!

I also have another question for the talented ones out there, if I may. What are your thoughts on shadows? When I take a picture of a dish on a table, I get shadows. If you take photos more professionally, do you use some sort of flash or light to 'fill in'? What do you consider the best results?

Thanks to @derangedvision and @liketu and good luck to everyone joining in. Contests are such a great way to create engagement and have a bit of fun.

You and your family have a great weekend fella :-)

Mouthwatering goodness, everything looks so fresh. I find it hard to say no to some street bbq!

All the foods look delicious, and some of my fav Thai Food..:) I consider Thai food to be my second favorite cuisine after Vietnamese. Both of them share many similarities.

The blue color of the is made from 'Butterfly Pea". I love it.

Good luck in the contest :)
