I love the leather upholstery on the chair in the foreground and the casual wine bottles as vases 👌 I'm guessing the coffee is pretty good too?

Gorgeous! 👌👍

Morning Jenny, that looks lovely, and wonderfully cozy. 😊

Thanks Colin, that's a great one to go with Interiors! 👌

Thanks Jean! ✌️

Am just finishing the how to starter video, there has been much note taking! Must sleep after that though 😆

Feels like I'm staring into the rabbit hole 😬 😆

Cool, Mrs has informed me I am allowed to have one of her canning jars to play with.

We have both, I've made regular bread a bit before and used bread flour 👍

Awesome, thanks. So you used 100 % whole wheat flour for the starter, not 50:50 bread & whole wheat?

All our cooking is done in grams so we are good for scales 👍

Wow thanks Jean, I've got some homework to do! 😆 So you created your own starter rather than buy one?

Sometimes just ditching it is the best thing for the process 👍

Super composition! 👌👍👍

This striking low-angle photograph captures a repeating series of arched metal armrests on a park bench, creating a dramatic sense of depth and perspective. The image was taken at the Battery Park City Esplanade in New York City, looking along the edge of the Hudson River. The photograph utilises an extreme low-angle perspective, placing the camera lens almost flush with the wooden slats of the bench. This technical choice transforms a functional piece of park furniture into a compelling geometric study. The circular forms of the armrests create a tunnel-like effect, leading the viewer's eye toward a distant, central vanishing point. The bench slats in the immediate foreground are slightly out of focus, providing a soft entry point that directs attention toward the sharply defined metallic arches. The wood appears dark, polished, and weathered, reflecting the ambient light with a subtle, satiny sheen. The circular armrests act as a series of concentric frames. To the right, a curved metal railing follows the same receding line, adding to the rhythmic geometry. This repetition creates a sense of infinite scale within a confined urban space. The lighting of golden hour, just before sunset, gives a soft, warm glow that lingers on the horizon, while a single, tall lamppost stands silhouetted against the sky, its light beginning to flicker as daylight fades. The image is dominated by deep, moody tones. Cool blues and soft pinks in the sky contrast beautifully with the dark silhouettes of the benches and nearby trees. The overall mood is quiet and contemplative, successfully capturing a rare moment of urban stillness. In the hazy distance, the silhouettes of bare trees and the faint outlines of waterfront structures are visible. The sky is filled with wispy, elongated clouds that catch the final rays of light, adding a layer of texture to the upper third of the frame.

Love it! 👌😍

I've never looked at Sourdough baking but yours looks so good. Yes, I'd love a link, thank you 😊 I'm not sure I'll have the time for it 😬 but I'm really curious.

Yes! 🤗💛💛

Post fermentation does it need knocking back and proving like regular bread?

I really want yummy bread now! 😆 But Mrs has slow cooked lamb curry on the go so I'm being good and not snacking B4 dinner 🙊

Nice! 👌

Happy March Day! 🤗

Ooo, that looks so yummy! 🤤😍

Nailed it! 👌

That transition from light to dark can be so powerful and you got it spot on 👌 I was in town yesterday trying for some motion blurred people and when the sun finally came out it was so dam bright I needed an ND filter so I could get a long enough exposure 🙄😆

Thanks Jilly 😊 The forecast for the week was rubbish so when I saw some sunshine on Tuesday I couldn't resist bunking off work and hopping a bus to town 😆 I tried shooting some film yesterday I spent far too long dodging rain and waiting for the sun to put in an appearance 🙄 Hope London was good 👍

Nice one Julie, great light! 👍👍

and I love that you picked a piece of art that is references the challenge with the street lights fairing! Brilliant creativity! 👌✌️✋

Thanks Jeff. It's great learning some new techniques as well as being pushed to be more creative. I'm already finding I'm thinking about shot setup more creatively. 👍

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV 20sec @ f14 ISO 100 - Focal Length 44mm Lighting provided by a vehicle and building lights. Tri-pod used. Subject remained in frame for approximately 10-12 seconds before moving out. Why the movements are not captured is still beyond me. The subject is transparent (ghosted) due to the limited time in-frame. B&W shot of a person looking down a street painted on the side of a building. The street scene would be from the 1930-40s in rural Alberta Canada.

With travel and some serious winter weather chilling off the spirit it was a last moment shot. This was the last frame of about 20 taken at -24(ish) Celsius. Kudos to my muse who endured the retakes.
