Looking Forward
I love to play with photo-editing apps on my iPhone. I took this photo during my shoot for my last post and then opened it in Pixlr to add the Silk overlay effect and a frame. Next, I tried a new app called Whitagran to add the text. Do you believe that good things are…

Taking Macro to the Next Level
Sometimes my job is a lot of fun. Last week, we had a big trade display at a conference here in Melbourne. I got to play with a bunch of toys, and learn from some of our suppliers visiting from Japan and The Netherlands. You know how much I love macro photography, right? I was…

Time Passes
For The Daily Posts’s Weekly Photo Challenge : Time. This photo was taken in Mackay, very near my home town – we were driving for dinner with extended family. I like this shot – I took it from the car window (Dad was driving😋) with my Olympus OMD EM5 – such a fleeting moment…

Mid-Summer Portrait 3
As soon as this baby arrived at the Midsummer Faerie Rade, the family was swamped with photographers. Who could blame them? How cute is she?! 😍 x desleyjane

Melbourne Street Art 2
Some more shots from my walk through Melbourne’s famous laneways. I would have liked to have caught the chef looking at me, but I like the framing here anyway. I also enjoyed seeing some of the “words” within the graffiti as well. x desleyjane

Mid-Summer Portrait 2
Most of the Rade-goers went all out with their costumes and make-up and this young lady also went out of her way to pose for us. I really loved editing the above black and white portrait, but I also love the dress, so thought I’d show you a colour shot as well. Again, I…

Mid-Summer Portrait 1
These portraits were taken at the Midsummer Faerie Rade in Melbourne in 2016 (a couple of weekends ago). Taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 with the 45mm portrait lens (90mm equivalent). Here’s another shot in colour, so you can better view her intricate makeup: Most people at the Rade were dressed in costume and were…

Rainy Day Optimism
One of things I love about my new apartment in Melbourne is the terrace off my living area. It’s a very large tiled space which overlooks the east side of the city. I have plans for it, but a few days after I moved in, I hurt my back and two weeks later it hasn’t…

Melbourne Street Art 1
I am settling in to my new city and what an intriguing and colourful city it is. I’ve been here many times before as a visitor, but it’s even more amazing as a resident. Recently, Michelle from This Melbourne Life presented “3 of the best … Laneways in Melbourne“, filling in for me as…

New Year, New Beginning
Happy New Year! Thank you to everyone for making 2015 a successful blogging year. I apologise for my absence over the last few weeks. As most of you know, I was in the process of selling my home in Brisbane and moving to Melbourne. I am happy to report that my house has now sold…

Sarina Beach
This post was written before New Year’s Eve and I somehow neglected to post it… Finally it’s raining and the weather is much cooler, it’s beautiful. The only sacrifice is the loss of blue skies, but I love a good dark cloud, so I’m ok with it. We took a drive while my brother was…
