  • The Rose Gold-en Hour

    I am currently addicted to rose gold. I found this clock recently at kikki-k, my favourite stationery store and had to take it home with me. For this shoot, I placed it on my white cabinet next to my front door with the sunlight streaming in. I love the way the natural light from outside…

  • PhotoRehabCoverMakeover 5

    Don’t forget the hashtag!     #PhotoRehabCoverMakeover Lucile and I have decided we should makeover a CD cover this week, that’s exciting! Something different, and it’s cool album. It’s Simply Red’s album – Simplified. Given the name of the album, I wanted to do something quite simple and understated and to keep the image quite distraction-free. Black…

  • Rose Up Close

    I love roses and these buds were so pretty. I also couldn’t resist shooting the aftermath of flower death, with the bugs finishing it off. Another submission for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Close Up. For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane

  • Recharge

    On the weekend, I was pottering about shooting for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge and came up with this shot some rechargeable batteries that I bought for my solar lights. PhoTrablogger runs the Mundane Monday Challenge where we are to find the beauty in everyday mundane things and I think this one fits the challenge.…

  • Brisbane Wheel in Winter

    I felt the need to show you our wheel separately this month. I was at Southbank for my recent Changing Seasons shoot, and I really loved the sky behind the wheel as the sun was setting. These were taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 camera. Off they go to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic – come…

  • Calling

    An interesting place to hang out and make a call. This is a bicycle repair station. While he was here on the phone for about 10 minutes, a couple came up to use the repair station and he was totally oblivious to their presence. They waited about 30 seconds before shaking their heads and leaving.…

  • Dead Close

    I simply adore this shot. It’s just a dead leaf, but I am fascinated with the shapes and textures. And only a couple of centimetres across. I was doing a shoot in the front garden for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge (Close Up) and spotted this just above eye level, hanging down from a…

  • Iced Up, Close Up

    We had a large piece of ice that wouldn’t fit into the cooler so I threw it onto the grass. When I went out in the garden to do some macro shots for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge (Close Up), I noticed the melting ice and took a few shots. Is it just me, or does…

  • Blossoms, Up Close

    You know I can’t resist macro shots of flowers!! These are all the same plant at various stages. I’ve included the shot where I’m holding the blossom just to show you the size. For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Close Up. And for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane

  • Hopeful 

    She squealed, laughing, as he came up behind her to wrap his arms around her waist. As he leaned in to kiss her neck, she let her head fall back to rest on his shoulder. She couldn’t remember ever feeling this safe and she couldn’t imagine living her life without him. She couldn’t wait until…

  • Photo Rehab Weekly Photo Challenge: Cover Makeover #4

    Ok team, here’s this week’s photorehabcovermakeover challenge!! Looking forward to seeing the creative covers from you all! x desleyjane

  • Bumpy Split

    Another shot from Queenstown, it was a cloudy and overcast day, some snow and very cold. This photo is another one for The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Half and Half and also for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane
