Melbourne Streets 7
IGers Melbourne InstaMeet March 2016 The group contained a few people who were happy to pose for various shots and this guy was doing that for a group up on top of this heavily-graffiti’ed parking structure. I was lucky enough to catch him in the act. x desleyjane

Macro Garden Series – 8
One of the best tips for macro photography is to get on the same plane as the subject. What I mean is – try not to shoot from above or below the subject. This makes for some interesting angles for the handheld shooter, I’m sure some of them are bonafide yoga poses 😀 The other tip is…

Retired Rower.
We came across this gentleman as we were walking along the bank of Albert Park Lake in South Melbourne. We asked if we could take his photo and he laughed at us. He said to tell everyone that he is the retired rower. I noticed his name on the canoe behind him so I looked…

Contemplation 10 – Pets
Welcome to week 10 of Contemplation. Usually, I share a prompt from my Kikki.K A Sentence A Day Three Year Journal, but today I want to do something a little different. Today I’m creating my own prompt, based on something that happened last week. This week: how has a pet impacted your life? Last week,…

Melbourne Streets 6
I was so happy to find so many chances for macro shots on our walk through the very urban streets of Fitzroy and Carlton. In fact, I used my macro lens exclusively for the last two hours of the walk. I found this plant outside of the diner where we finished our walk. It was…

In April, the meetup coincided with Earth Day and became a world-wide InstaMeet (WWIM), where people from all over the world shared their images with the same…

iPhriday – Red Tram Rider
On the tram on my way home from the April IGers Melbourne Instameet, this lady sat opposite me with her family and I liked her red coat. It wasn’t til I was playing around with editing that I noticed that her shoes, phone and necklace are also red! For Lisa’s iPhriday event where we share…

Macro Garden Series – 7
Another bright and intricate flower from the garden series. The colours were so vibrant. I was expecting to find bees on these flowers, but there weren’t any. Shot at Wilson Botanic Park with my Olympus OMD EM5 with my 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens. I think this is my last entry to Jude’s Macro in the…

Inside iTerrarium
I couldn’t resist getting up close and personal with some of the little guys inside my previously posted iTerrarium. I’ve included a shot of the terrarium below so you can judge the scale of these plants. They are super-small. Or you can go visit the post linked above to see the whole thing. I thought this…

Contemplation 9 – Conversation
Welcome to another week, another prompt. I think we’ll get a variety of responses this week as it’s a more open question. I’m looking forward to reading how you respond. Just a reminder – each week, I’m sharing a prompt from my Kikki.K 3-year A Sentence A Day Journal and my response. The journal has…

Melbourne Streets 5
I always love finding words in street art, messages for the viewer. The last one is my favourite. Although I do feel like cake now…. IGers Melbourne InstaMeet March 2016 I did post a couple of these on Instagram last month…. x desleyjane

Abstract
I made a batch of pumpkin soup recently and froze it in little Tupperware containers. When I took one out after work one evening, I was fascinated by the pattern of ice that had formed on the lid, so of course I grabbed my camera and started snapping. For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge…
