Not Really Appropriate for Dinner
While at the conference last week, I had hoped to be able to get out into the grounds with my camera but it was so busy that it wasn’t possible. However, one day, they served teeny tiny cupcakes for morning tea and I just happened to have my camera in my backpack 😀 The downlights…

Closed Terrarium
I picked up two terrariums on the weekend – one open (my iTerrarium, which you can see here) and this closed terrarium. The closed terrarium is a very groovy thing. It houses different plants from the open one – plants that like moisture, like ferns and mosses. If done properly, with the right soil conditions…

iTerrarium
Now that I live in a small apartment on the fifth floor, I have no grass or garden area. All of my gardening will be done in pots. I previously showed some photos of a cyclamen that my friend gave me – that was my first plant here in the new place. I have also…

Macro Garden Series – 3
I really liked the colour of this flower when I was photographing it, but I fell in love with it when editing. The intricacy of the stigma is amazing and the colours are stunning up close. Shot at Wilson Botanic Park with my Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm macro lens. x desleyjane

Macro Garden Series – 2
These are two different shots, not the same shot edited differently. I love how the sunlight hits the yellow of the plant, and the darkness of the background. Taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens at the Wilson Botanic Park. x desleyjane

More Bee Photos
The title says it all really. I love photographing bees. Although the dead ones are much better behaved 😜 Technically this should be part of my Macro Garden Series, but it’s bees, so…. I’m also linking it here to Jude’s March Garden Challenge, where she’s looking for wildlife in the garden. Take a look at…

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…

This is my favourite perfume at the moment. It’s Costume International‘s Scent Intense. It is a dark and full fragrance, which I’ve just learned…

Favourite Things – Backpack
Many of you know that one of my favourite things is macro photography and I’m interested lately in practicing product photography. I love isolating a subject, as I’ve done before, here: I’ve stuck with predominantly white backgrounds but one of things I want to start investigating is other backgrounds. Separate to this, I’ve been addicted…
