Good grief I’ve been wanting to photograph dandelions for ages. I thought they must not exist near me, but last weekend I found one trapped within the apple blossoms in my front garden. It turns out that I’ve photographed one before when it was in the yellow flower form – I never knew what this flower…
Read MoreIt Wasn’t My Last Garden Shoot.
I did a shoot in my front garden last weekend and I wondered if I’d have time to do another one. Today, I did. I wandered around the back garden today, with my 60mm macro lens and got up to my old tricks of lying in the grass to get up close and personal with…
Read MoreLast Garden Shoot?
I have some apple blossom plants in my front garden that are supposed to become a hedge. They have taken years to grow and finally (now that I’m moving) they’re starting to really take off. They are covered in beautiful white blossoms and I always see so many bees buzzing around the blossoms. I’ve wanted…

For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Boundaries. Macro shot of the top of a gate at Southbank in Brisbane. I love to compare colour and mono shots. Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm Macro lens.

5 Tips for Macro Shooting
I ❤️ Macro. Most of you know that I love macro photography. True macro photography is the art of photographing a subject so that the resulting image is larger than life size – it magnifies the subject. This spider is approximately 5mm long which google tells me is 13/64ths of an inch. In the photo,…

A very quick shoot in my garden a few nights ago. I spotted this little guy by accident so captured his adventures with my 60mm macro lens on my trusty Olympus OMD EM5. For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge – From Every Angle. x desleyjane

This little bug is about a centimetre long and the little fly is about 3mm long. Taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 with the 60mm macro lens, up close and personal, and edited in Lightroom. Handheld, as usual, and taken when I got up early for my Dewy Gemstones shoot. Is it just me, or…
Read MoreA Single Drop
How cool is this single drop? It’s perched on the end of one of the leaves of the weed shown below. I love the way water droplets are rounded (that’s science!!) and that they reflect the world around them (that’s science too LOL). This pink flower is a tiny weed, just a centimetre long. Oh…

Pink isn’t just a colour, it’s an attitude. – Miley Cyrus I have some creeping roses outside my front window and I love to photograph them. I’ve left them alone for quite a few weeks as it’s been a bit cold, but I recently went out for a challenge to get some macro shots. I…
Read MoreRaindrops on Spiderwebs
When I was photographing dewdrops on some plants in my back garden, I noticed a some spiderwebs on my dead lime tree 😉 They made for some fascinating photos – not as sharp as I’d like, but hey it was 8 degrees Celsius and it wasn’t even 7am! Plus it was almost above head height…

Maybe his name is “Diamond”? 😉 I’ve been reminiscing about my trip to Amsterdam in April this year and taking a look though the photos on these cold Aussie winter evenings. I really loved these shots. Lucile and I were playing with the 60mm macro lens on my camera and took a few shots inside…
