Five Minutes with a Thorny Flower Crown – RegularRandom
This week’s RegularRandom features a succulent that I have photographed before, for one of my first RegularRandom posts, here. Here are the rules: choose a subject or a scene spend five minutes photographing it – no more! try to not interfere with the subject, instead see it from many angles, look through something at it, change…

The Flowers of Brunswick East (21)
This was actually two bushy trees planted very close together, so the flowers intermingled between all the bushy leaves and stems. Such an intricate flower, in two beautiful colour combinations. Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro, early morning, handheld, wishing for more sleep. x desleyjane

This very red flower demanded some attention. It is so vibrant, quite small, but definitely catches the eye. Of course, I don’t know what it is, I’m sure you can help me! x desleyjane

One Wall, Three (Four) Ways.
Last week, I posted some cute edits of a letterbox against a brick wall. Here is the same wall and letterbox, but taken from a much wider angle. The day was missing any definition in the sky unfortunately. I decided to give it a treatment similar to the letterbox with different presets. Here is the original…

The Flowers of Brunswick East (19)
This tree was so pretty and creating its own shade in the morning light. I think it was well suited to both colour and monochrome shots. Shot with my Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm macro, hand held, morning light, all shots are different, even though those last two look identical! This is one of my…

Five Minutes with a Beetroot & Chocolate Muffin – RegularRandom
Hi everyone. It’s been ages since I RegularRandom‘ed a sweet treat. In the apartment complex where I live, a restaurant has opened up on the ground floor. The people who run it are just lovely. I have gotten to know them over the many months of fit out and met so many of the family…

The Flowers of Brunswick East (18)
Lavender is a very popular plant in my neighbourhood. I photographed it a few times for this series. This collection is from one front garden. I like the mix of old and new growth and the shades of lavender – some more blue and some more pink. There were no bees this time, but there…

One Letterbox, Three (Four) Ways.
And now for something completely different. I’ve been playing with some new Lightroom Presets. I’ve had them for a little while but haven’t used them before. Here is the original photo, edited how I would usually edit it: Although, this is a photo that I would probably edit in black and white usually, so: I…

The Flowers of Brunswick East (17)
This is the beginning of the third walk around my neighbourhood. It’s another street, parallel to the first one, a tiny street, with not many houses, a dead end, but lots of flowers and they all smell amazing. Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm macro (120mm equivalent), hand held, early morning, sleepy brain. x desleyjane

The Final Sunflower Series
For my last sunflower post, I wanted to go in as close as I could get with my 60mm macro lens. Those little hairs on the leaves really pop out. The finer details are all right there. And then we move in a little closer. And finally, does beauty turn? Is this still beautiful? The…

These little bells were growing under a tree on the side of the road. The leaves are quite thick and succulent-like…. x desleyjane

Five Minutes with Coffee – RegularRandom
Oh coffee, what would life be like without you? This week, I ran out of coffee, and then I was home too late each night to take delivery of my coffee order! Disaster! So I started each day with orange juice at 6:45am and grabbed a coffee on the way to work at 9am. I…
