Musings of a Frequent Flying Scientist

  • Grid

    I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to use these photos. I took these at Southbank in Brisbane on one of my recent The Changing Seasons shoots. I was intrigued by the lines in this shot and then gave it a little extreme #imagereboot treatment in Lightroom. For this week’s The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge…

  • Image Reboot #6

    You may have heard that Desley has been busy preparing her next move to Melbourne, and for that she had to reduce her blogging activities. So, please bear with me, as I am hosting the sixth installment of our Image Reboot – a partnership between Desley’s Musings of a Frequent Flying Scientist, with yours truly…

  • Deceptive Planting

    You could be forgiven for thinking that these photos were taken in some wintry location in Europe or the US. However, I took these in my back garden about a month ago. This pine tree grows in my neighbour’s back garden, tall and proud and I am always fascinated by it. Often, there are large…

  • PhotoRehab Cover Makeover 12

    Another Thursday, another Cover Makeover from Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic.

  • Break in Transmission

    Some of you may have noticed that I have been somewhat absent from the land of blogging of late. It breaks my heart a little bit, because it’s always my favourite thing to do – writing posts with photos that I’ve painstakingly captured and edited, reading posts from my wonderful blogging friends and mostly reading…

  • 5 Tips for Macro Shooting

    5 Tips for Macro Shooting

    I ❤️ Macro. Most of you know that I love macro photography. True macro photography is the art of photographing a subject so that the resulting image is larger than life size – it magnifies the subject. This spider is approximately 5mm long which google tells me is 13/64ths of an inch. In the photo,…

  • An August Sunday in Brisbane

    Brisbane is a beautiful, laid back, comfortable city. We were at the end of Winter when I took thee shots and the temperatures ranged between 12 and 27 degrees Celsius this week. Fabulous. A couple of weekends ago, two of my best friends and I went out for the day. We had a loose plan of having…

  • Playing With the Moon.

    I came home late one night last week and noticed the moon looking amazing. The night before that, it was covered in clouds. The first time I tried photographing the moon (here) was the Blood Moon and it was ok, but not great. So I was excited to try again. Then, I decided to play…

  • Quick Connect

    A very quick and silly post for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge – Connected. I think the only thing keeping this young lady connected to the floor are these fabulously crazy shoes! These shoes have no heel, no spike, no leg at the back. She is balancing her weight on the rest of the…
