True macro photography is the art of photographing a subject so that the resulting image is larger than life size – it magnifies the subject. This spider is approximately 5mm long which google tells me is 13/64ths of an inch. In the photo,…

An August Sunday in Brisbane
Brisbane is a beautiful, laid back, comfortable city. We were at the end of Winter when I took thee shots and the temperatures ranged between 12 and 27 degrees Celsius this week. Fabulous. A couple of weekends ago, two of my best friends and I went out for the day. We had a loose plan of having…

Playing With the Moon.
I came home late one night last week and noticed the moon looking amazing. The night before that, it was covered in clouds. The first time I tried photographing the moon (here) was the Blood Moon and it was ok, but not great. So I was excited to try again. Then, I decided to play…

Quick Connect
A very quick and silly post for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge – Connected. I think the only thing keeping this young lady connected to the floor are these fabulously crazy shoes! These shoes have no heel, no spike, no leg at the back. She is balancing her weight on the rest of the…

A very quick shoot in my garden a few nights ago. I spotted this little guy by accident so captured his adventures with my 60mm macro lens on my trusty Olympus OMD EM5. For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge – From Every Angle. x desleyjane

Fun in the Sun with Dad

I’m sorry I didn’t catch a shot of that. From my recent Changing Seasons shoot at Southbank in Brisbane. These are for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab…

Selfie?
There were so many selfie-takers out and about when I was soutbank recently doing last month’s Changing Seasons shoot. This weary but doting mum was not taking a selfie. She spent about 10 minutes taking photos of her daughter who was trying out a number of poses and facial expressions. Don’t you just love people-watching 😉…

PhotoRehab Cover Makeover 9
George orwell’s nineteen eighty-four Lucile has chosen an absolute classic this week, a book that almost everyone will have heard of – 1984, by George Orwell. Just a little reminder of the story, from the Cliff’s Notes website: In George Orwell’s 1984, Winston Smith wrestles with oppression in Oceania, a place where the Party scrutinizes human…

Morning Bugs
This little bug is about a centimetre long and the little fly is about 3mm long. Taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 with the 60mm macro lens, up close and personal, and edited in Lightroom. Handheld, as usual, and taken when I got up early for my Dewy Gemstones shoot. Is it just me, or…

Final Call
She knew she must look a fright. It was evening and yet she was walking through the airport wishing that her huge sunglasses would cover her entire face. Or at least more of her swollen and flushed cheeks. The tears wouldn’t stop. She’d been fine when they’d said goodbye (well maybe not fine, maybe just…
