The Way the Cookie Crumbles
Finally, I ate the cookie. It was delicious, even though it was about 10 days old. I finally managed to photograph it on the scalloped plate but I’m not sure I really did it justice. Very enjoyable though, from purchase through to eating, I really had fun photographing it multiple times. Hopefully you didn’t get…

Cupcake, Up Close
I’ve photographed cupcakes quite often (as I’m sure you know if you’ve been with me for a while). Today, I’ve gone in close. x desleyjane Twisted.

Five Minutes with a Disbud – RegularRandom

Hyacinths from the Bouquet
The Mother’s Day bouquet that I put together was really a lot of fun for me – I took a lot of shots, and used parts of it in a few different shoots. I have a few more to come, but this is the last set of flowers alone. I’ve included a shot of the…

Lizianthus 1
I picked up a few small bunches of flowers and put them together for a number of photo shoots. I’ve photographed lizzianthus a few times, they are an intriguing flower – the buds are a green-yellow colour but the flowers are a gorgeous soft pink. Here are some shots, more to come. Oh, and the…

Five Minutes F(rose)n in Darkness – RegularRandom
Remember when Julie and I shot frozen flowers? One of the flowers was a peach-coloured rose – so pretty. Julie has this great dark corner set up with a scarred old wooden table, so we set up the ice block there to shoot it in the dark, so different to the light and bright shots…

Hyacinth in Lilac
Being honest may not always get you a lot of friends, but it’ll get you the right ones. -John Lennon The final hyacinth post from the bouquets I picked up on the weekend. Here are the Fuchsia and Pink versions. x desleyjane

Five Minutes with a Strange Pink Flower – RegularRandom
While waiting for a takeaway smoothie at a little cafe in Auckland (The Botanist), we browsed their little attached florist. I was quite fascinated by this weird pink flower. I think it’s some kind of Protea, but I’m sure someone can correct me here. Anyway, five minutes of shooting makes for a good RegularRandom –…

F(rose)n in Time (5)
This is my favourite shot(s) from the F(rose)n shoot. And my last share of this gorgeous little experiment. Of course, Julie also froze another flower, so I will share those soon 😊 x desleyjane

The Flowers (and things) of Hobbiton
As promised in my last post, here are my flower photos from Hobbiton in Auckland, New Zealand. Of course, I had my macro lens with me (just the 30mm, not my baby 60mm), so I swapped in and out with my usual 17mm lens every time I spotted something pretty. Firstly, we spotted a butterfly…
