Haha, love the flying pancakes thing! My favourite photo is the last one…love action photos that make you feel like you're right there!

I like the first picture of the pancakes because the top one is lifted on the front edge so it looks like the pancakes are talking to me, saying, "Ricky Bobby! Say you love really thin pancakes or I will break your arm!" And then I just find myself eating everything in site.

Ben, these photog posts are always full of sage advice, thank you. I wonder if some of your pics get rejected? They must be nuts!

Excellent and informative post Ben!! I struggle with the food composition and shots every time I take a picture. The blueberry pancakes look fantastic

Cheers,

Gera

I’m looking forward to part 2 and have been loving your series on food photography. Just thought I’d say that now.

Good tips and great advice as always! I prefer the last one as it really makes me hungry looking at it! And today I discovered something new! Condensed milk on pancakes…delish!

These series have been really interesting, Ben. I love all your photos today. How on earth did you get the pancake flying up?

Te be honest, I don’t like either flying pancake picture because there’s no context for the movement. I had a “huh?” moment. If the other pancakes were in motion, I think the concept would work better.

Other than the flying pancake, the photos are beautiful. I like the third pic the best!
