    Deconstructed Flower – 2

    I think we started something when Julie and I “deconstructed” a rose at her studio a few weeks ago. You can find that post here. I have to warn you that there are quite a few photos in this post but I just couldn’t bear to leave them out. So, off I went to the…

    Bottles and Bubbles

    Another set of shots from our Still Life Workshop at Julie Powell‘s studio. This was fun. We shot on a mirror with a white canvas behind the mirror. It’s a bit of work to get all the parts in the right place at the right time, but the payoff is awesome. I brought out the chemistry…

    When Life Hands You Lemons….

    These juicy lemons were shot on black perspex and I used my macro lens (I’m such a sucker for macro, as you know). And just for fun: x desleyjane

    Such a bizarre flower – I have to call upon my botany experts in the blogosphere to tell me what this is. Shot at the Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Olympus OMD EM5, 60m macro. 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…

    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 – 21

    I can tell you right now that my Dad would be horrified that these were planted in the botanical gardens. Lantana is a nasty weed on sugar cane farms. I still love the delicate little flower heads and the wonderful colours. Shot at the Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Olympus OMD EM5, 60m macro. x desleyjane  …

    Macro Garden Series – 20

    Judging by the leaves and the colour of the flowers, I’m guessing this is some kind of daisy?? I really like the tightly compacted heads, they almost look like plastic. Shot at the Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Olympus OMD EM5, 60m macro. x desleyjane

    I would usually post a fern frond in black and white, but the colours in this one were so lovely, I had to keep it in colour. Shot at Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro. x desleyjane

    Handbag Product Shoot – Macro Detail

    I purchased a new handbag a few weeks ago. Actually, I’ve bought three new handbags in the last couple of months. Shocking, I know 😉 This most recent bag was one I picked up at my local markets. I had a discussion with the stall owner about photography and as some of you may remember,…

    A departure from the pretty pinks. I like the textures in these remnants of flowers, with the delicate web on the second one. Shot at Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro. x desleyjane
