Macro Garden Series – 19
I would usually post a fern frond in black and white, but the colours in this one were so lovely, I had to keep it in colour. Shot at Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro. x desleyjane

Instagram – My Week and Tips
This week (last week) started with me in Mackay, visiting with my family (mum, dad and little brother). Towards the end of the trip, we decided to take a drive to our home town of Sarina – a small sugar cane farming town. I had spent some time with relatives talking about the old days…

Contemplation – Dream Home
I was so excited to turn the page last night and find that I had come full circle in my A Sentence A Day journal! I started this three year cycle journal on July 17th, 2015 and last night, I found myself looking at my answer from last year. The prompt: What does your dream…

Melbourne Streets 17
I found these flowers on our walk through Albert Park in South Melbourne. I had my 45mm lens on (90mm equivalent). This is a gorgeous portrait lens, and I’ve been trying to use it more in every day photography. You can’t get very close, it’s no good for macro, but it can produce beautiful booked…

Handbag Product Shoot – Macro Detail
I purchased a new handbag a few weeks ago. Actually, I’ve bought three new handbags in the last couple of months. Shocking, I know 😉 This most recent bag was one I picked up at my local markets. I had a discussion with the stall owner about photography and as some of you may remember,…

Story in the Woods
She trudged along behind him, sulking while he whistled his way through the woods. She didn’t want to be here, she hated the outdoors. Let’s spend the day together, he’d said. Of course she’d assumed they would have a long leisurely brunch at her favorite cafe, take a walk through the shopping district so she…

Macro Garden Series – 18
A departure from the pretty pinks. I like the textures in these remnants of flowers, with the delicate web on the second one. Shot at Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro. x desleyjane

The Lines in the Light
I was struck by this scene, as we walked beneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The sky was completely grey and this beautiful fence stretched out along the path. I deliberately took the photo with the aperture wide open, so that the shot was slightly overexposed. Then, when editing in Lightroom, I bumped the exposure up…

A Little Break Away
This photos in this post are my photos from Instagram this week. As you may know from previous posts, I am travelling at the moment. I have been visiting Brisbane for work and also managed to catch up with friends. I also got to see some of the beautiful sights, which I posted in last…

Melbourne Streets 16
I spotted this Dad and Daughter skateboarding in Albert Park, they were adorable. I can’t decide whether I prefer a landscape or portrait orientation for this shot. Oh, and I couldn’t resist the colour splash 😉 IGers Melbourne April InstaMeet. x desleyjane

Macro Garden Series – 17
Such pretty pink camellias. If you love macro like I do, check out Musin’ With Susan‘s weekly macro challenge. I thought this photo would fit in well there. Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro. Happy Birthday to my dear friend Tony. It’s his birthday today and while pink isn’t really his colour (actually he can’t see pink),…

Remnants of Breakfast
I have a colleague whose wife makes glorious cakes, really stunningly decorated cakes. He photographs them for her, for their website. He asked me to take a look at his shots and to go through some editing tips in Lightroom. We met over breakfast before work one day while I was in Sydney and we…
