Pancake Day

Since it is Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday) in the UK, I thought it would be a good idea to theme today’s Project 365 entry around that.

The pancakes were made by my other half, Becky, and enjoyed with some maple syrup and lemon juice. I also had one with Nutella as it would be rude not to!

The one for the photograph was made with the last of the mixture and then left to go cold for a while. The idea was to get a picture, using shallow focus, of the pancake with maple syrup drizzled on it. I tried a few shots with the pancake open, but it wasn’t really working as an image. I folded the pancake to see if that looked any better, but there was still something missing.  I decided to drizzle some of the syrup around the plate to make the background a bit more interesting and that got me the image I was looking for.
