  • iTerrarium

    iTerrarium

    Now that I live in a small apartment on the fifth floor, I have no grass or garden area. All of my gardening will be done in pots. I previously showed some photos of a cyclamen that my friend gave me – that was my first plant here in the new place. I have also…

    Macro Garden Series – 3

    I really liked the colour of this flower when I was photographing it, but I fell in love with it when editing. The intricacy of the stigma is amazing and the colours are stunning up close.   Shot at Wilson Botanic Park with my Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm macro lens. x desleyjane

    Black and White Bench Art

    I thought this bench was fabulous – the end shaped like the bow of a ship. It seemed made for high-contrast black and white. Shot at Wilson Botanic Park with my Olympus OMD EM5 with my 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens. x desleyjane

    Melbourne Streets 1

    I joined in the IG’ers Melbourne meetup this month – an Instagram group which hosts photo walks in your city. It was a great day walking the streets of Fitzroy and Carlton in Melbourne city. I wanted to take shots that were a little different, so I popped the 60mm macro lens on and approached…

  • iPhriday – How Quickly Things Change

    iPhriday – How Quickly Things Change

    I crawled out of bed early one day this week and this is what I saw.   I took a minute to take it in before remembering that I’m supposed to be a “photographer” so I grabbed my iPhone and got this shot.  I came back inside to turn the coffee machine on when I noticed…
