Musings of a Frequent Flying Scientist

  • Reading

    This young lady was totally immersed in her book, catching some rays on a Winter’s afternoon. I wonder what she’s reading… Any guesses? From my recent Changing Seasons shoot at Southbank in Brisbane. Submitting this photo to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane

  • Libertine Parfumerie

    My friends and I visited a beautiful parfumerie on the weekend – Libertine in New Farm, Brisbane. What a gorgeous store. We were greeted by the lovely Zoe, with the popping of a bottle of bubbly and then we delved into what scents we like and how they make us feel. The space is filled…

  • Winter Water Fun

    When I did one of my recent Changing Seasons shoots, I was happy to see so many people out and about on a cool Winter’s Day, enjoying the sunshine and some even braving the water! I thought I would share with you some of the fun shots from that day 🙂 Such happy days. I…

  • Listening

    This guy was enjoying the sunshine, listening to his tunes. Whaddya reckon? Shania Twain? 80’s Hair Bands? Metallica? David Guetta? From a recent trip to Southbank for my Changing Seasons shoot. For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane  

  • Beautiful Brisbane – August 2015 (1)

    I just found out this is my 300th post!! This is the first time I’ve managed to do two Changing Seasons posts in two consecutive months! Usually, I skip every second month because of my travels. If you don’t know it already, this is a challenge set up by Cardinal Guzman to encourage us to go…

  • Experimenting with Light

    I trapped myself in my hotel room one night in Melbourne last week with a pizza and a bottle of wine and my camera. They had upgraded me to a corner suite which gives me a view of the park and the city, so I decided to experiment – remember, I am a scientist 😉…

  • Creepy

    This week, The Daily Post challenges us to find something Creepy. Now I don’t usually find clowns particularly creepy, although it totally depends on the clown 😉 I felt a little chill when I noticed that this particular clown at the Royal Show (Ekka) was looking right at me!! Possessed?!!! Yikes. Have a fabulous weekend.…

  • Image Reboot #5

    Welcome to the fifth instalment of our Image Reboot – in partnership with Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. You can find the previous ones by searching for #imagereboot in the Reader. As enthusiastic photography enthusiasts, we wanted to include some editing techniques here – I installed Lightroom about a year ago and have taught myself the basics of…

  • Run

    Her heart sank. The door wouldn’t open. She twisted the knob wildly, hoping it would just open and let her out of here. She almost crumbled when she suddenly remembered the keys. Maybe one would fit?! She reached down to get them before realizing she had left them in the lock on her chains. She sprinted…

  • Zooming in on Light Effects

    This post is for the Available Light joint feature between Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic and Nalinki’s Angles and Views. This month, she asks us to experiment with light effects! The photos here were all taken more than a year ago. My photography skills have improved since then, so I would really like to try these…

  • A Single Drop

    How cool is this single drop? It’s perched on the end of one of the leaves of the weed shown below. I love the way water droplets are rounded (that’s science!!) and that they reflect the world around them (that’s science too LOL). This pink flower is a tiny weed, just a centimetre long. Oh…

  • Beneath Our Feet

      I had grand plans of finding cool things to photograph beneath my feet for this week’s Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge but time is slipping away as I’m travelling a lot at the moment.  So when my best friend took me for pedicures, shopping, dinner, cocktails and a movie on Saturday night for my…
