    Macro Garden Series – 12

    Ok, I have no idea what this is. It’s weird, it’s part of a tree, and I really like it. But I’m clueless. Anyone?   Shot at Wilson Botanic Park with my Olympus OMD EM5 with my 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens. x desleyjane

    Imperfect Perfection

    I couldn’t resist posting these rosebuds. I almost didn’t, because they aren’t perfect, they are covered in little bits of debris, most likely from a bug. But I thought, well none of us is perfect, so why not? Thanks again to Robin from Reflections for my Soul and Pauline from Gypsy Life for nominating me to join the…

    A simple shot from a recent dogwalk around the block. I was struck by the colour – my favourite. Olympus OMD EM5 … 17mm … ISO200 … f/4.0 … 1/125th sec x desleyjane

    Macro Garden Series – 1

    My friend Julie Powell (Photographer and Graphic Designer) invited me to join her photography excursion at the Wilson Botanic Park in Berwick (about 40km outside the city of Melbourne, at the foot of the Dandenong mountains). It’s a beautiful park and I had a great time immersing myself in all things macro. Actually, I didn’t…

    A Housewarming Gift

    I live in Melbourne, almost 2,000km from Brisbane, where I lived before. When I was looking for somewhere to live, it was difficult to do so from Brisbane. Online tools are very useful, but it’s just not the same as seeing the apartment in the flesh. Once I had found a place I liked (based…

    I love to play with photo-editing apps on my iPhone. I took this photo during my shoot for my last post and then opened it in Pixlr to add the Silk overlay effect and a frame. Next, I tried a new app called Whitagran to add the text. Do you believe that good things are…

    Taking Macro to the Next Level

    Sometimes my job is a lot of fun. Last week, we had a big trade display at a conference here in Melbourne. I got to play with a bunch of toys, and learn from some of our suppliers visiting from Japan and The Netherlands. You know how much I love macro photography, right? I was…

    Angles of Pink

    I’ve been asked by a couple of people how I get this very white background in my photos so I’ve written a tutorial on this, which you can find at Image Reboot #7. This is one of the buds I picked for my Trio post for the DP Weekly Photo Challenge. I had it in…

    Bathed in Yellow.

    This is another of the buds I had picked for my Trio post. This one had such a pretty centre so I had to photograph it. And then I had to play in Lightroom to see what I could make 😀 These laboratory experiments belong in the clinic: Photo101Rehab. x desleyjane

    Bye Biscus. I’ll miss ya!

    I posted photographs of a random hibiscus flower last week. It fell off the table and was investigated by Gidget and then I promptly forgot about the physical flower while I spent my time editing the photos. Today (almost a week later), I happened to find it under my outdoor dining table, so I picked…
