These hotcakes are made with yeast dough and take about 3 minutes on each side to cook. At the Sunday Farmer's market, these two were making them and you could have various fillings on them like cinnamon and brown sugar! Unfortunately we had had breakfast and weren't hungry. Next Sunday it's breakfast at the Farmers Market! There also bacon butties, cheese rolls, huge savoury scones, turkish food and tons of fruit to buy! I bought the most delicious Turkish hummus and some sour dough bread! Not to mention fresh lettuce leaves, some chilli sausages, smoked bacon, ginger fudge and three sorts of Whitestone cheese!
I learnt something from this picture - my pics of people are always grainy as this is. The ISO is too high because it's dim there. I have to choose my own aperture setting and reduce the ISO to a maximum of 100 and try and get light from another source!
Oh yum, looks so good! Lovely capture too! We have had a an extra child here for a sleep over and between the 3 children they have just scoffed 30 small pancakes!!
Lovely and colourful Maggie, I like the graininess about it. I must say the farmer's markets in this country are ace, we do it every Saturday and get the veggies for the week.
It's all a learning curve. I always try to keep my ISO low to avoid all the noise you get from higher ones. although sometimes it can add to the feel of a pic. I would like my hotcakes with strawberries please
It is all a learning process, Maggiemae. Now I am wanting something sweet to eat. Sounds like a wonderful Farmers Market. We only have fresh fruit and vegetables at ours.
Fun kitchen shot. Sometimes pushing the iso is what you need to do if you don't want to use a flash. I pull the noise out in Lightroom and unless it was too too grainy can usually smooth it down a bit. Your earlier comment about tripod also relieves the need to push the iso in some low lights.
Wonderful capture, Maggiemae. I love your vibrant color tones and the hotcakes look so good that I would have tried them anyway ... breakfast or not! :) Alot of times the lighting conditions aren't always the best and even in Ap you have to push up the iso. It just happens. This look great to me.
Oh I love places like this. The food always tastes so much better somehow. These look like they could taste like Welsh cakes which are truly delicious xx
@psychographer Welsh cakes are what we call griddle scones and are crisp on the outside and delicious. These are made with a bread like dough with yeast in it and the dough is busy rising beside their hot plate!
@anazad511 Next Sunday we are going there having not had breakfast! I don't really know what they taste like as it is a bread dough mixture rather than a pancake or pikelet mixture!
I agree they do look yummy. I have a hard time with people in low light also. The camera takes longer and one little move by the subject blurs the shot. This one came out pretty good.
@tesnonian Most of the picture is clear, Sharon - its the skin that seems grainy - I admire those lovely creamy skin shots that people do on portraits!
You've made me so hungry, Maggie! Great candid shot and I can hardly wait to pay our Saturday visits to the farmer's market come Fall. It's too hot and rainy at this time. OK, time for my boring breakfast at home ;-)
Wow- sure wish I could hope over the pond and visit your Farmer's Market! Low light is tough on any subject. Seems like you've done the best you could on this shot.
@maggiemae (o: I had a good laugh at myself. Actually, I had a professor in seminary from NZ and thought it would be an interesting place to visit. He had many stories about how beautiful it is. And now I get to see the truth of that in many of your shots!
How was the ginger fudge?
