  • It Wasn’t My Last Garden Shoot.

    I did a shoot in my front garden last weekend and I wondered if I’d have time to do another one. Today, I did. I wandered around the back garden today, with my 60mm macro lens and got up to my old tricks of lying in the grass to get up close and personal with…

  • Beautiful Brisbane – October 2015

    I feel like this might have been my last Changing Seasons (hosted by Cardinal Guzman) shoot for Brisbane. Maybe I can fit one more in? Not sure… I met up with an old friend and we went on a walk around Southbank with our cameras and our conversation, visiting all the usual spots as well as a…

  • Last Garden Shoot?

    I have some apple blossom plants in my front garden that are supposed to become a hedge. They have taken years to grow and finally (now that I’m moving) they’re starting to really take off. They are covered in beautiful white blossoms and I always see so many bees buzzing around the blossoms. I’ve wanted…

  • Boundaries

    For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Boundaries. Macro shot of the top of a gate at Southbank in Brisbane. I love to compare colour and mono shots. Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm Macro lens. I feel like I’ve posted a lot of photos that could work for Boundaries before, but this one called Separation Binds,…

  • iPhone Grids

    I scrolled through my phone this morning and found this little collection of photos that I think work for this week’s The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge : Grid. Oops I just realised that Chicago Tower was not taken with my iPhone. I think it was taken before iPhones were invented. With my old Canon…

  • Bunny Ears

    On the weekend, I was pottering about shooting for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge and came up with this shot of my pink bunny ears! You can see the whole bunny and her little yellow baby bunny here. Also for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane

  • Grid

    I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to use these photos. I took these at Southbank in Brisbane on one of my recent The Changing Seasons shoots. I was intrigued by the lines in this shot and then gave it a little extreme #imagereboot treatment in Lightroom. For this week’s The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge…

  • Image Reboot #6

    You may have heard that Desley has been busy preparing her next move to Melbourne, and for that she had to reduce her blogging activities. So, please bear with me, as I am hosting the sixth installment of our Image Reboot – a partnership between Desley’s Musings of a Frequent Flying Scientist, with yours truly…

  • Deceptive Planting

    You could be forgiven for thinking that these photos were taken in some wintry location in Europe or the US. However, I took these in my back garden about a month ago. This pine tree grows in my neighbour’s back garden, tall and proud and I am always fascinated by it. Often, there are large…

  • Monochromatic Selection

    Here is my selection of shots for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Monochromatic, tasking us with showing shots were one colour predominates the frame.   I hope you’re having a wonderful week. x desleyjane  

  • New Screw, Old Rust

    Another quick post for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Connected.  Inspired by Amy’s post featuring a gate latch as well.  x desleyjane

    Another week of really great covers from the makeover team – see Lucile’s Wrap Up post here for all the very cool designs for “The Lord of the Rings”. Thanks again to everyone for joining in, it’s wonderful to see all the creative talent at work. This week, it’s a movie. And it’s a classic. The Sound…
