The Flower Edit
A quick note before the real post starts: It’s 7pm on Friday night. I’ve been away all week for work, arrived home very very late last night and have spent the day catching up on so much work missed during the week. I’ve really missed the blogging world and all of you guys, so I…

Caged Flowers
This is a little session in light painting, again with Julz. You can see the tracks of the wand reflected in the bulb. I love the backdrop in these shots, it’s really lovely. I find it a little cold. It’s a nice picture, but it’s cold and lacking something. I took another shot and converted…

This was the same day that produced: Morning Light When Life Hands You Lemons Bottles & Bubbles Deconstructed Flower – 1 This is a really good experiment, that teaches you a lot about framing a shot. x desleyjane

Deconstructed Flower – 1
I really want to first off mention this wonderful post from my dear Lucile in Amsterdam. She has sent me some wonderful wishes for my day today. I’ve mentioned that I recently attended a Still Life Workshop with Julie Powell in her fabulous studio. One of the things Julz wanted to do was to slice up…

Morning Light
The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Morning. Of course, this is not my usual morning, I wish I was that organised. This is from a still life workshop, hosted by the lovely Julz (Julie Powell). We had a fantastic day, with many more photos to come! And inspired by my blogging friend Susan Rushton, who posted…

Macro Garden Series – 16
This is my first post from our visit to the Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. These flowers were so stunning – I spent quite a bit of time with them. And I fell in love when I edited the image above. As usual, I used my Olympus OMD EM5 with the 60mm macro lens. x desleyjane

Macro Garden Series – 15
This is my last post in my macro garden series from my trip with Julie to the Wilson Botanic Park. This flower was growing in the carpark and I was struck by its shape, its sharp edges. Shot with my Olympus OMD EM5 with my 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens. I hope you’ve enjoyed…

Macro Garden Series – 10
You should have seen me trying to get my finger in this shot to show scale. Typical balancing act – I was on the edge of a dropoff, shooting handheld (because I couldn’t be bothered carrying my tripod). The little receptacle (thank you Wikipedia) is the part that used to hold the petals of the…

Macro Garden Series – 8
One of the best tips for macro photography is to get on the same plane as the subject. What I mean is – try not to shoot from above or below the subject. This makes for some interesting angles for the handheld shooter, I’m sure some of them are bonafide yoga poses 😀 The other tip is…

Macro Garden Series – 7
Another bright and intricate flower from the garden series. The colours were so vibrant. I was expecting to find bees on these flowers, but there weren’t any. Shot at Wilson Botanic Park with my Olympus OMD EM5 with my 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens. I think this is my last entry to Jude’s Macro in the…

Macro Garden Series – 6
Isn’t this plant amazing? I was fascinated by it. And when editing it, the high contrast and clarity really brought out an almost painted quality to the image. This has become one of my favourite shots. I was able to catch the end-phase of the plant as well. Shot at Wilson Botanic Park with my…
