The starter was about 8 days old at this point. It needed a few more weeks to fully mature in potency. This loaf was a little dense. But the flavors were huge and the texture supper moist. This loaf also lasted longer before becoming stale, a common trait for sourdough. I probably could have baked this a few more minutes to harden up the crust. This loaf was made in a slightly larger pan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1588112336836-QJVW6WZT0S9H869B4JMR/IMG_0861.jpeg Blog - Baking Bread during a Pandemic – doing as little as possible My first boule. But used the same recipe. Made 150% of my normal loaf proportions. Probably could have baked this a couple of minutes more, but the crust was still crisp and had great flavor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1588112312023-7915VZKANZLC3TWMB3VH/IMG_0859.jpeg Blog - Baking Bread during a Pandemic – doing as little as possible My first time making a shaped bread, here a boule. I used the same recipe but just had to manipulate the dough between first and second rising to create this shape and then let it rise in a bowl to keep this shape. Then baked in a preheated Dutch Oven. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1588112292746-DVAYW8HHK4EPCP70NY77/IMG_0880.jpeg Blog - Baking Bread during a Pandemic – doing as little as possible Really amazing toast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1588112203919-A335Q4VSMLQIKS9QGF2P/IMG_0845.jpeg Blog - Baking Bread during a Pandemic – doing as little as possible Same dough as above but after a 12 hour first rise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1588113524962-W5QS42R03FP232KMZ2L7/IMG_0844.jpeg Blog - Baking Bread during a Pandemic – doing as little as possible a loaf wrapped in waxed wrap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1588112261459-H7WPE0IS4XNNOKCZ6R1I/IMG_0877.jpeg Blog - Baking Bread during a Pandemic – doing as little as possible I think this was only the second loaf I made. Great and chewy but still an airy crumb, tons of flavor. Crust had good flavor but not terribly hard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1588112235307-RT3V7U35A58NQQ3YC5EH/IMG_0848.jpeg Blog - Baking Bread during a Pandemic – doing as little as possible My mini Pullman Pan, with lid, and the loaf that came out of it. Named Pullman because these were used in the old Pullman train dining cars to make daily fresh bread for passengers. This was my third loaf made. Perfect size for one person to finish off in 24 hours. They also make other pullman pans that are twice as long and three times as long. I have a few of these, but I like this one best, with the diagonal corrugated sides. Heavy duty and easy to remove the bread. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1588112409386-HC7T7S9NCBUF8DFA4PYN/IMG_0901.jpeg Blog - Baking Bread during a Pandemic – doing as little as possible My own Sourdough starter on the first day that I had substantial activity and then fed it with new flour and water.

But the subject is not only framed, but the shapes and three dimensionality of the background branches for me really makes this successful. It is hard for me to remember that this image came from a camera. I wish I could find this spot again, it is just a few feet from my front door. I would love to explore further there, but all of this is so tiny and embedded in a large azalea. I don’t think I will be able to recreate and further explore this one spot again. Landscapes often are over photographed to the point of becoming cliché. That won’t happen here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1586371013559-S82LQ23WJ8VZPJD37WFH/landscape%2Bfront%2Byard-11.jpg Blog - Landscape Photography while sheltering at home - Radical depths of field This photograph is an excellent example of a subject that is not terribly interesting all by itself. What makes this shot is how the subject is reflected in different layers of background. How geometric shapes and patterns are repeated and so emphasized. And how the background becomes something entirely new. The whole therefore becomes far greater than just the main subject. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1586371539136-5RV8N4BJ121X4OWGXIJ5/landscape%252Bfront%252Byard-01.jpg Blog - Landscape Photography while sheltering at home - Radical depths of field I always welcome each year when the forsythia bloom as it tells me to put down seedlings inside for this year’s tomato plants. And of course, in these parts, they are the first real splash of a large amount of color. As I will discuss below, this shot was taken with a fast lens, wide open which gave a very narrow depth of field. Here that meant that I could isolate one little bunch of flowers from the mass of flowers on my bush. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1586371063330-B1H2MMAGTBNDEZDEE8T3/landscape%2Bfront%2Byard-09.jpg Blog - Landscape Photography while sheltering at home - Radical depths of field The jumble of in-focus subject is perfectly mirrored by the structure of cascading branches that fall away from view. I almost took this shot entirely out-of-focus, but I decided I still needed the in-focus objects to ground the shot in some sense of organic reality. But imagine the abstract shot that just the background would have made. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1586308883389-PIY9ZLO302272ZY9VGI0/356187.jpg Blog - Landscape Photography while sheltering at home - Radical depths of field Landscape with the Fall of Icarus, by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. if you blow up the screen and look at the far left, there is a disembodied head sitting in the woods. That head, and the perversity of sticking it in here, is why this is my favorite painting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1586297035051-2OKDVYUDKLWA3YBLWJLF/landscape%2Bfront%2Byard%2B-%2B13.jpg Blog - Landscape Photography while sheltering at home - Radical depths of field The out-of-focus grey areas are the curved twig on which this tiny bud sits. The whole thing is jutting out towards the camera. Within just a few inches, the twig becomes etherial, almost to the point of disappearing. Like the far boats and shore in Monet’s painting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1586371705659-PDV8AGPEVECF9WTRAYIJ/landscape%252Bfront%252Byard-03.jpg Blog - Landscape Photography while sheltering at home - Radical depths of field There are some landscape compositional principles playing out here in what otherwise might be seen as just a photo of a few leaves. The in-focus areas on the bottom right grab the eye but then the viewer is drawn along a circular path to other features which leads to an examination of the whole. The background out-of-focus areas here are not particularly interesting but their being out of focus removes them from being too distracting. The spiral structure is another fractal reference, with the repeating patterns within mollusk shells being a prime example. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1586371248070-CO5I8292J7X6KFRX7GQY/landscape%2Bfront%2Byard-04.jpg Blog - Landscape Photography while sheltering at home - Radical depths of field At this point, I think the background is at least as important to the photo as the foreground. And it complements the foreground subjects in having similar geometric shapes and patterns. Without that fuzzy background, the multiple subjects in the foreground would not be of enough interest alone to photograph. If you are having any difficulty in seeing this photo in its entirety on the screen, just click on it and a full version will pop out. That is true for all the photos here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1586371295170-95N44EMQE6R65TO6S40I/landscape%2Bfront%2Byard-08.jpg Blog - Landscape Photography while sheltering at home - Radical depths of field Here we start to see for the first time how a background out-of-focus area can be an element that improves the photo in its own right. The foliage in the background offers a complementary view of the foreground, while not being distracting. The effect is exaggerated by the extreme contrast in light. Notice repeating and branching (more fractals) use of triangles (along with circles and framed by a square), very strong geometric shapes to ground the photo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1586370896128-S7CSC9D46BUFEZIT587R/landscape%2Bfront%2Byard-10.jpg Blog - Landscape Photography while sheltering at home - Radical depths of field For me, this photo of a rose plant before budding culminates the progression I have tried to establish. The in-focus areas are wonderful, with color, texture and shape. These leaves are not razor sharp and so some might discount them. I think that they are just sharp enough and in the context of this photo razor sharp is not really an asset. When done looking at the in-focus leaves and buds, your eye is then drawn to see what happens to this very branch, with presumably the same sorts of leaves and buds, as the image descends further and further into swirling chaos. It directly confronts us with how something looks both with captured reality and through an Impressionist lens. You can choose which reality you enjoy more, but you are forced to observe them both. And at the same time, the in-focus areas stand apart from their immediate background by a soft and swirling backdrop of neutral colors and cottony textures, evoking wispy brushstrokes which won’t distract the images in front. And the out-of-focus branches are contrasted with dark chaos that lets them stand out as bright. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1586371110510-8MT3ONS6KJAX0I0NCGY7/landscape%2Bfront%2Byard-07.jpg Blog - Landscape Photography while sheltering at home - Radical depths of field One little twig nearly in bloom, and somewhat softly rendered isn’t much alone. The wind was blowing this twig about and so I couldn’t get it in perfect focus. But that is okay because I think this is the first of this series where the background out-of-focus areas are more interesting than the subject. I love the implied geometry of the lines, almost like shattered glass plate. And yet fully organic. The colors and hints of other blooming twigs paint an image far greater than just the subject alone. Contrast this shot with the second photo above which is of the same shrub. Similar buds, but the backgrounds are wholly different. This one works so much better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1586296910496-NJ6SZQXTLNAIGDHY7VYS/landcape%2Bfront%2Byard%2B-12.jpg Blog - Landscape Photography while sheltering at home - Radical depths of field A fine shot of some greenery which is accentuated by contrast to an out-of-focus and indistinct background. Nothing however in that background serves much purpose in the photo other than to not distract the viewer’s attention. The repeating patterns of branches in turn resulting in more but smaller branches is a somewhat trivial example of fractals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1586202046136-96PYMOY6B4AJ95478WTE/claude-monet-impression-sunrise-1-1.jpg Blog - Landscape Photography while sheltering at home - Radical depths of field Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet, 1874 (I hereby claim fair use for a “scholarly” work) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1586371184094-3IT0C8RQEC7GJXJ9QX29/landscape%2Bfront%2Byard-05.jpg Blog - Landscape Photography while sheltering at home - Radical depths of field As with the photo before, a generic shot of a magnolia blossom would be nice but somewhat “been there, done that”. But this background is starting to show how this old obsolete lens can turn imperfection into art. I am pretty sure I could not personally make brushstrokes of paint that would be as nice as the effect here. And they fully complement the shapes and colors in the blossom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1586371405197-4S2VN37ATA2JJLH754MI/landscape%2Bfront%2Byard-06.jpg Blog - Landscape Photography while sheltering at home - Radical depths of field Though I like this shot, and there is some dimensionality to it as branches get more and more out of focus, there are still a lot of dead areas where the out-of-focus regions are simply rendered into neutral non-distracting space. Sometimes that is what you need; but sometimes you hope for more. Below there is a shot of this same shrub but with a foreground subject much simpler and a background that adds substantially to the photo. Comparing these two shots essentially summarizes my whole point of this Dispatch. https://ditchdispatch.com/blog/2019/11/6/4c6zhjypc88gtachqye6wqywks92or monthly 0.5 2021-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1573568366116-3J8F3N8WOXIIKKZATFIM/IMG_6438.jpeg Blog - Norway without a car (part two) - the western fjords https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1573568472886-EBWBW39OLASY4E5QWVO5/IMG_6498.jpeg Blog - Norway without a car (part two) - the western fjords https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1573568445746-Z4UF23N9QJSLH5AKLG9Z/IMG_6482.jpeg Blog - Norway without a car (part two) - the western fjords https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1573568390144-GP1TZOZ1L0F0HUX6GDB6/DSC01764.jpeg Blog - Norway without a car (part two) - the western fjords https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1573568596919-RIT39I8WVATL0G9S24AY/DSC01726.jpeg Blog - Norway without a car (part two) - the western fjords https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1573568545046-5XOALJ8Z6XZVHR2C3G52/IMG_6421.jpeg Blog - Norway without a car (part two) - the western fjords https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1573754653435-NBQL0CM1QLRJGM833MYT/DSC01454.jpeg Blog - Norway without a car (part two) - the western fjords https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1573568420057-MPD1BF3UQNDAE4FPSZI5/DSC01852.jpeg Blog - Norway without a car (part two) - the western fjords https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1573568495123-SXHT2MABFE1QNZ4DNFN1/DSC01742.jpeg Blog - Norway without a car (part two) - the western fjords https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1573576058089-9VJ6U1W835J63KAYOO0B/IMG_6098.jpeg Blog - Norway without a car (part two) - the western fjords Leaving Fläm early in the morning, waiting for our ferry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4e16d945776efa53c6e577/1573063932186-5UNZY2WYGBFKDDUGHUHX/DSC01447.jpeg Blog - Norway without a car (part two) - the western fjords Hostel room with a view.
