  • Selfie?

    There were so many selfie-takers out and about when I was soutbank recently doing last month’s Changing Seasons shoot. This weary but doting mum was not taking a selfie. She spent about 10 minutes taking photos of her daughter who was trying out a number of poses and facial expressions. Don’t you just love people-watching 😉…

  • Beautiful Brisbane – August 2015 (2)

    This is my second post for Cardinal’s Changing Seasons Challenge for August. The first post was from a lazy Sunday afternoon. The photos in today’s post are from the Saturday night when my friend and I went out for my birthday dinner – we started the evening with a stroll through the Southbank Markets, taking…

  • Reading

    This young lady was totally immersed in her book, catching some rays on a Winter’s afternoon. I wonder what she’s reading… Any guesses? From my recent Changing Seasons shoot at Southbank in Brisbane. Submitting this photo to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane

  • Listening

    This guy was enjoying the sunshine, listening to his tunes. Whaddya reckon? Shania Twain? 80’s Hair Bands? Metallica? David Guetta? From a recent trip to Southbank for my Changing Seasons shoot. For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane  

  • Beautiful Brisbane – August 2015 (1)

    I just found out this is my 300th post!! This is the first time I’ve managed to do two Changing Seasons posts in two consecutive months! Usually, I skip every second month because of my travels. If you don’t know it already, this is a challenge set up by Cardinal Guzman to encourage us to go…

  • Short Shoot in Melbourne

    Last week I visited Melbourne for a day trip. I left my home at 5am, worked all day, then flew out at 8pm, arriving back at my home at 11:30pm. I knew I would have a couple of hours before my flight home so I took my trusty Olympus OMD EM5 with my 17mm (35mm equivalent)…

  • 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.…

  • Beautiful Brisbane – July 2015

    Here is my post for Cardinal Guzman’s Changing Seasons event. This is a very cool event where we are tasked with going back to the same location each month and taking photographs there to see the changes that occur from season to season. I have only done this every second month, I have to admit! I’ve…

  • Split in Two

    This photo was taken at Shorncliffe Pier, north of Brisbane. Such a clear afternoon, not a cloud in the sky. For The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Half and Half. Here is the prompt: This week, share an image that has two clear halves, literally or figuratively. You could focus on composition, like me, and take…

  • The Aussie Beach
