Five Minutes with French Macarons – RegularRandom
I picked up these macarons at the train station on my way back from Paris to Amsterdam and shared them with my host the next night after dinner. But of course, I had to give them the RegularRandom treatment first! Love the colours, love the different effects we an get with saturation, love the flavours!…

Paris – partie un.
Oh Paris. I’ve always wanted to go there, but have never been before. In the last couple of days before my flight home from Amsterdam, I took the fast train to Paris, for just a day trip. I took a ‘hop-on-hop-off’ bus and saw the sights – even to make me desperate to come back…

Delft City
We drove to just outside the city centre of Delft, but the bus is not allowed to enter, so we walked about 15 minutes into the centre. Of course, on the way, it started to rain, so we dashed into a hot chocolate shop to stay warm and dry until it passed. I met a…

Royal Delft Ceramic Factory
I adored Delft – what a lovely city. The Royal Delft ceramic factory was amazing and I loved getting into the details of the behind the scenes work – the tools and unbaked pieces were fascinating. As soon as I saw the artist painting a tiny clog, I again knew I had to get out…

Curls of Delight.
I was so taken with this particular flower. I chose it predominantly for its colour, but I did also notice the curls. Once it was in a vase on the table, I was eye level with this beauty and was fascinated by its curls. The shape and the way the colours follow the curves really…

The Hague & Madurodam
While in Amsterdam, I took a bus tour, from Amsterdam up to The Hague, and then Madurodam, then Rotterdam and finally Delft. Here are some photos from Madurodam (except the first one, which is The Peace Palace in The Hague). Madurodam is a miniature village – a little park, where they have built 1:25 scale…

Dior.
Happy Mother’s Day. Dedicating these photos to my mama 💕 I did love this collection while shooting them, and I still do. Plus the editing made me happy. But perhaps my post entitled Glamour is still my favourite so far. They certainly don’t look like tulips, do they? x desleyjane

Five Minutes with a Pale Pink Tulip – RegularRandom
Just two minutes for this shoot: Would you like to join in the RegularRandom crew? Here’s how: Version 1: 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 light that’s…

Ascension.
I took the Metro to Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and was struck by the immensity of this escalator. I had my iPhone (8 Plus) in my hand so I snapped a quick shot while stepping onto it. Here are a couple of different edits, which is your favourite? You can probably guess mine…. I love the…

Glamour.
Did I say I couldn’t pick a favourite? I lied. This. This is my favourite. So far. But I know what’s coming. x desleyjane

Beautiful Drama.
I love this one as well (honestly, I’m not sure I can pick a favourite). It began to rain lightly while we were photographing the tulips, and the temperature dropped, but it didn’t deter us, we had something new to photograph – capturing those droplets sitting on such vibrant petals. x desleyjane
