  • More Painted Water.

    More Painted Water.

    I am fascinated by this paint-in-water shoot. I spent some time editing all the shots and this series is one of my favourites. I can see some of these as backgrounds, as prints on their own – I’d love to see the first one covering a wall. There are quite a few more I want…

  • More Paint Planets, and Some Volcanoes

    More Paint Planets, and Some Volcanoes

    Following on from yesterday’s post, we took away the red background and replaced it with a white one. We also mixed our primary(ish) colours, to make green and purple as well. I used my Olympus OMD EM5 as usual for these shots, with the 60mm macro lens – it allowed me to get close and…

    Paint Planets 1

    After our session with Mixed Fruit on Saturday, Beck and I headed outside. I’d brought three tubes of paint with me – I wanted to try oil paints in water. Beck had a long, tall vase which we could use, so we dived in. We used syringes to squirt the paint into the water. I…

    One Photo, Three (Four) Ways

    On Melbourne Cup Day, I had lunch with friends and then we went for a wander along Brunswick Street in Fitzroy. I’ve always liked the little shops on this eclectic and busy street. This day was no exception. We discovered a real gem – an art supplies store with the most beautiful papers, stationery, cards…

  • Waiting the Time Away

    Waiting the Time Away

    Inspired by the photo from my post this morning featuring a similarly edited photo. This one is a scene in Boston from a few years ago. My camera was new and I was fascinated by this “art filter” that the camera can apply. I’ve always loved this photo.  I wonder if she’s just waiting for…

  • Melbourne Street Art 2

    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

    News!!! Photo Rehab Launches a Weekly Photo Challenge

    Originally posted on Sights & Insights : When you put a scientist, photo-writer blogger together with an executive, pseudo-psychologist blogger, anything can happen, as they try to reinvent the words and images they see and make them their own. Our mutual love of black and white dramatic photography, makes us The Drama Queens! And we…

  • Looking Sideways, Looking Up

    Looking Sideways, Looking Up

    These are photos of the ceiling of an elevator in a hotel in Perth. I find the geometry in these photos quite fascinating. I find it interesting how much money is spent on the inside of elevators. They are just a small container to transport people for less than one minute, and yet some of…

  • Queensland Art Gallery – March 2015

    Queensland Art Gallery – March 2015

    In my first Changing Seasons post (January), I featured some photos of exhibits from the Queensland Art Gallery. I love this place, the exhibits are amazing. During my most recent Changing Seasons post (March), I spent some more time at my favourite exhibit, Zilvinas Kempinas’s Columns 2006, an installation of magnetic video tape. I’ve featured some…

    Beautiful Brisbane – March 2015

    We have a tourism catchphrase here in Queensland – Beautiful one day, perfect the next…. It is a beautiful city and I am very happy to showcase one small part of it for Cardinal’s Monthly Changing Seasons Challenge. The idea is to return to the same place each month and take photographs to show the…

Please visit the link to learn more and to see some great photos from a group of very talented individuals. Please also join in if you want! Today’s photo is from my recent visit to the Queensland…

    Beautiful Brisbane – January 2015

    This post is my submission for Cardinal Guzman Monthly Photo Challenge – The Changing Seasons. I’ve been thinking about this challenge for a while now, trying to decide on a location – this has to be a place where I can return each month to record around 20 photos. The idea is to document the…
