  • My Untitled Story.

    As most of you know, I’m in the process of selling my home and moving from Brisbane to Melbourne – you can read about that here. Things are progressing quite quickly now and I will write about that all very soon. I’ve been away from blogging while sorting out my place and continuing my full…

  • Bench Series – October

    This month, Jude from Travel Words is looking for benches with someone or something on them. I took this photo for one of my Changing Seasons shoots. I love how comfy these two look, and completely unaware of the world around them.  x desleyjane

  • Sweetness & Light

    I took this photo on my recent Changing Seasons shoot at Southbank Parklands in Brisbane. My friend and I were chatting and I spotted this plant waving in the breeze above the smaller plants around it. I tried my best to get it to autofocus but it didn’t want to, so I used manual focus.…

  • It Wasn’t My Last Garden Shoot.

    I did a shoot in my front garden last weekend and I wondered if I’d have time to do another one. Today, I did. I wandered around the back garden today, with my 60mm macro lens and got up to my old tricks of lying in the grass to get up close and personal with…

  • Beautiful Brisbane – October 2015

    I feel like this might have been my last Changing Seasons (hosted by Cardinal Guzman) shoot for Brisbane. Maybe I can fit one more in? Not sure… I met up with an old friend and we went on a walk around Southbank with our cameras and our conversation, visiting all the usual spots as well as a…

  • Hotel.

    She stood in line in the hotel lobby, waiting to check in. It had been a long day, having left home at 5am and then working all day. Finally, she could see that it would soon be time for her to relax. Taking her room key, she made her way to the elevators, noticing the…

  • PhotoRehab Wrap Up #14 and New Challenge #15

    Cover Makeover is the new themed feature of the Photo Rehab Clinic, created by me and Lucile from Bridging Lacunas. Every week we give a new prompt, and participants go wild, using all their creativity, and producing fabulous covers far better than the original ones used by publishers. Welcome to last week’s Wrap up and…

  • Last Garden Shoot?

    I have some apple blossom plants in my front garden that are supposed to become a hedge. They have taken years to grow and finally (now that I’m moving) they’re starting to really take off. They are covered in beautiful white blossoms and I always see so many bees buzzing around the blossoms. I’ve wanted…

  • Overwhelmed but Excited.

    I’ve been away for a little while, preparing for my move from Beautiful Brisbane to Magical Melbourne – see my Break in Transmission post. Things have progressed quite a bit since that post. My parents have sold their house – it was on the market for just 7 days and someone snapped it up. They…

  • Boundaries

    For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Boundaries. Macro shot of the top of a gate at Southbank in Brisbane. I love to compare colour and mono shots. Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm Macro lens. I feel like I’ve posted a lot of photos that could work for Boundaries before, but this one called Separation Binds,…

  • iPhone Grids

    I scrolled through my phone this morning and found this little collection of photos that I think work for this week’s The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge : Grid. Oops I just realised that Chicago Tower was not taken with my iPhone. I think it was taken before iPhones were invented. With my old Canon…

  • Bunny Ears

    On the weekend, I was pottering about shooting for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge and came up with this shot of my pink bunny ears! You can see the whole bunny and her little yellow baby bunny here. Also for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane
