Macro Garden Series – 2
These are two different shots, not the same shot edited differently. I love how the sunlight hits the yellow of the plant, and the darkness of the background. Taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens at the Wilson Botanic Park. x desleyjane

Only Bright Sparks Need Apply
This charming set of stools stood waiting outside a cafe in Rathdowne Village, Melbourne. I thought they made a lovely and bold statement, even though it seemed weird that there were no tables to go with the chairs. For some reason, I thought of a line of nervous youngsters sitting here, toes tapping, nails bitten,…

Hello and welcome to week 4 of Contemplation, where we share our responses to a prompt from my Kikki.K A Sentence a Day journal.

More Bee Photos
The title says it all really. I love photographing bees. Although the dead ones are much better behaved 😜 Technically this should be part of my Macro Garden Series, but it’s bees, so…. I’m also linking it here to Jude’s March Garden Challenge, where she’s looking for wildlife in the garden. Take a look at…

iPhriday – a long week!
It has been an interesting week. Long long days, early mornings, late nights. Even a late night in the lab, something I haven’t done in almost two years! The best part of my week was when I had my friend come for a visit and we did our usual Japanese food (and sake!) followed by…

Macro Garden Series – 1
My friend Julie Powell (Photographer and Graphic Designer) invited me to join her photography excursion at the Wilson Botanic Park in Berwick (about 40km outside the city of Melbourne, at the foot of the Dandenong mountains). It’s a beautiful park and I had a great time immersing myself in all things macro. Actually, I didn’t…

Superstition – Scientist or Mouse?
I bought this umbrella recently. Melbourne is a place where you often need an umbrella – it pays to carry one with you some days. Just a few days ago, I left mine in my car and consequently trudged back to my car after work in the rain, getting drenched in the process. But I…

One Love
The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge this week is One Love. I’m taking this opportunity to show you something that I love doing, which is layering lettering over photos. Right now, I’m just using apps on my iPhone, but I will be doing a Photoshop course soon and I also want to do calligraphy and hand-lettering…

Favourite Things – Fragrance
I have started photographing some of my favourite things in an effort to practice macro photography and also to experiment with new backgrounds and staging. Last week was my new backpack. This is my favourite perfume at the moment. It’s Costume International‘s Scent Intense. It is a dark and full fragrance, which I’ve just learned…
