  • Be Generous With Empty Space

    For PerelinColors Tech of the Month in Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic – make use of negative space. I am in love with negative space, have so many photos which I consider to be quite minimal and “full” of empty space. Here is one that I took a couple of weeks ago. I just wanted to catch this little…

  • WOW. A whole year!

    So it’s been over one year since I registered my WordPress site. And what a year it is has been. I started my blog predominantly as a way to share my photography and find other photographers like me who are keen to learn and share. I was very lucky to find the Photography 101 Course…

  • iPhriday – Homemade Nutella?

    I’m joining Lisa at GrayDaysandCoffee and posting an iPhone photo on a Friday. I think it’s a neat idea and I will try to post each week. If you want to join in (any phone of course), just use the tag iPhriday. Here’s a shot of some homemade Nutella made by Monsieur Truffle at a cafe called…

  • Duotone, and of course one of them is pink!

    From my last Changing Seasons shoot. I love this walkway (called The Arbour) and I love the gorgeous pink bougainvillea covering it. In Lightroom, I reduced the saturation on all the colours except Purple and Magenta. There were a couple of people in the background also wearing some pinky colours, so I used the brush…

  • PhotoRehab Cover Makeover

    Hi everyone.  Many apologies for not posting a wrapup and new challenge this week. Lucile (@luciledegodoy) and I are both overcome with other things and were completely unable to get it done this week. I have scheduled some posts and I think Lucile is doing something similar. I will check in as soon as I…

  • Dahlias are my favourite flower.

    It’s official. I love these flowers. These miniatures below really take my fancy and these are planted in pots and in my garden under the shade of a bottlebrush tree.  I also took some progressive growth photos of my white dahlia here. For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic and for Nalinki at Angles and Views Flowers Over…

  • Beautiful Brisbane – November 2015 (monochrome)

    Here is another gallery for the Cardinal’s Changing Seasons Event. My first gallery of colour shots can be seen here. There’s something about the black and white ones that really appeals to me, particularly shots with people and shots at night. As usual, Olympus OMD EM5 with 17mm or 60mm lens, handheld, wandering my city,…

  • After the Storm

    As some of you know, we’ve had a very stormy few weeks in Brisbane. I managed to be out in one recently and was able to capture some great storm clouds coming over the city – you can see them here if you missed them. The days are hot, in the mid-30s (Celsius) and become…

  • Beautiful Brisbane – November 2015 (Colour)

    Well I managed to do another shoot for Cardinal Guzman’s The Changing Seasons event.  I have a feeling I might just make it to December as well 😉 Actually for this one I cheated and took these shots on October 31st. We are in Spring right now and I took these photos on a Saturday evening…

  • PhotoRehab Wrap Up #18 and New Challenge #19

    Cover Makeover is the our themed feature of the Photo Rehab Clinic, created by me and Lucile from Bridging Lacunas. Every week we give a new prompt, and our participants go to town, using all their creativity, and producing fabulous covers often better than the originals. Welcome to last week’s Wrap Up and to the new…

  • Treat not Trick

    For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Treat! It’s always a treat to go out for drinks, dinner, catch ups with friends. I caught this guy hard at work while I was sipping on my Grenache.     I think he was mixing my friend’s Candied Cuban: x desleyjane
