Homemade Sourdough Bread

nobody@ipernity.com (HaarFager) — Mon, 15 Jan 2018 22:48:23 +0000

Here is a loaf of sourdough bread I made back on September 24th, 2013. It involves making a starter and keeping it going in your refrigerator by "feeding" it. Some people keep their starter going for years.

I chose things out of my model props box and the items I chose were my Grandmother Harrelson's old hat and gloves. There are two notes in the picture that show these props being used.

Red, Red, I Want Red - There's No Substitute For Red

This is for The Sunday Challenge group, who's theme this week was "Abstract," spotlighting the color "Red."

The initial image of the mushrooms is detailed elsewhere, but suffice to say I shot them on Monday while lighting them with a tiny maglight shone through a 1970 Chevrolet Nova tail light lens. I then took the image into Adobe Photo Deluxe 2.0 and made it into the cube you see in the middle of the image. After I had the cube finished, I needed somewhere to put it. For the sunset seascape with the clear sphere, I used Bryce 5 and created a suitable background in which to meld my cube. After I had both pieces ready, I blended them using Adobe Photoshop CS2.

Solar Power

HaarFager has posted:

This is one of those solar garden lights that draw off sunshine during the day and then turn on to glow at night. Of course, they're not this bright, but a long exposure like this when it's dark outside will make them look much stronger than they really are. It's positioned right at the bottom of the front steps to my house.

For The Sunday Challenge group, who's theme this week was to use a setting on your camera you hadn't used before. I chose the "B" (bulb) setting, which I had never used before, on an old Diana-clone 120 camera. In fact, I'd only ever run one roll of film through the camera and had been meaning to use it again for some time.

For those that don't know about the classic "Diana" camera - they were really really cheap plastic cameras made in Hong Kong in the 1960's and given away as prizes or sold for about .50 cents. That's right - they are super cheap and if you drop one, they might break into a thousand pieces because the plastic is so thin. As a matter of fact, I think mine melted a little on the front because it was kept in a hot car. If you look at mine in the picture below, the melted spot is just above the lens and under the viewfinder.

Camera: Windsor (Diana-clone)

Objects In Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear

For The Sunday Challenge group who's theme for the week was "Through The Looking Glass." I had a hectic week and couldn't come up with even a glimmer of an idea until Friday. I had a house guest staying with me all week and then a friend died unexpectedly on Wednesday. I was asked to perform the music at the funeral on Friday, so because of everything, I didn't have much time to shoot anything. I finally got some shots of the classic cars at the car show on Saturday through the side mirrors of other vehicles, but nothing I was happy with. Finally, on the way home Saturday afternoon, I thought about trying to catch the road from my passenger-side mirror. I took several, but they all tended to look alike. I felt the extra post-processing was necessary because the road itself didn't look as blurry as I thought it would. I cleaned this mirror and washed only the parts of the car that would show in the reflection because I was too tired to schlepp all the way to the car wash for a proper cleaning!

Oh, the things you have to do when you're a photographer!

On the back of these plates was printed "Not to be used for serving food." I thought that's why dishes were invented? I think this is an example of an 'oxymoron.'
