  • Amsterdam in Mono

    Amsterdam in Mono

    This beautiful city is full of colour, which I’ve shared on social media, and I’ll share here too, but I love the look of black and white and minimal colour as well. I feel like this trip is helping me to redefine my editing style and I’m enjoying it immensely. Here are a few of…

  • Story Bridge (structure)

    Story Bridge (structure)

    For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge : Structure. Whenever I visit Brisbane, I try to photograph “my bridge”. This is Story Bridge, which I’ve written about before here and here. It’s such an amazing structure and it always makes me feel at home, whenever I see it. The black and white image above I…

  • Up in the Clouds

    Up in the Clouds

    With my new job, I’ve been getting up incredibly early (for me) at around 6am. It’s Winter in Melbourne and the sun doesn’t rise until a little after 7:30am at the moment and the temperature at 6am is usually around 4 degrees Celsius. Last Saturday morning (yes Saturday, NOT a workday), I got up around…

  • Melbourne Streets 16

    Melbourne Streets 16

    I spotted this Dad and Daughter skateboarding in Albert Park, they were adorable. I can’t decide whether I prefer a landscape or portrait orientation for this shot. Oh, and I couldn’t resist the colour splash 😉 IGers Melbourne April InstaMeet. x desleyjane

  • Curves Of Sydney

    Curves Of Sydney

    This prompt came out while I was in Sydney, so how could I resist the stunning and statuesque curves of the Sydney Harbour Bridge? It seems to appear out of nowhere when you’re driving through the city. You catch glimpses of it all the time. I’m always excited to drive over it, as usually I…

  • Black and White Bench Art

    Black and White Bench Art

    I thought this bench was fabulous – the end shaped like the bow of a ship. It seemed made for high-contrast black and white. Shot at Wilson Botanic Park with my Olympus OMD EM5 with my 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens. x desleyjane

  • 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…

  • 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 😉…

  • Final Call

    She knew she must look a fright. It was evening and yet she was walking through the airport wishing that her huge sunglasses would cover her entire face. Or at least more of her swollen and flushed cheeks. The tears wouldn’t stop. She’d been fine when they’d said goodbye (well maybe not fine, maybe just…

  • 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…
