    Busy-ness.

    I happened upon this interesting little plant, perhaps a member of the Callistemon family? Such interesting details in this plant. But then I spotted a busy little bee at work. They aren’t super-sharp shots, I was just at 1/200s, but I like them anyway. Here are a few more shots of the plant, which incidentally…

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (10)

    I just love this photo, these little buds, mostly not in focus. But the light is pretty, the colour is lovely, the depth of field is pleasant. So tiny and delicate. Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro, handheld, low light. x desleyjane

    Five Minutes with Blue Flowers and a Kitten – RegularRandom

    I took my camera out yesterday when I walked Gidget but I didn’t take many photos unfortunately. However, I did happen about this kitten – it was quite a surprise because he was at eye-level, in a garden that was up a short flight of stairs above the pavement. I was originally drawn to the…

    A very strange plant, this one. I have to call upon my lovely gardening friends to help me out! Actually, I don’t know what most of the flowers I post are… Would you believe I did a Botany class at University? LOL. x desleyjane

    A Little More Sunflower Magic

So when I had the opportunity to photograph sunflowers for last weekend’s RegularRandom, I made sure to get some close macro shots to share with you. And of courses, I couldn’t help myself, I had to play with the editing a…

    A random little collection today. I didn’t realise I shot the little ant in the trio of blossoms until I was editing. He’s not very sharp I’m afraid… Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro, handheld, low light, needing a nap. x desleyjane

  • Five Minutes with Sunflowers – RegularRandom

    Five Minutes with Sunflowers – RegularRandom

    I spent much longer than five minutes with these beauties, so I’m just sharing a five-minute stint with you in this post. I’ll share some other, more intricate photos in other posts. But for today’s RegularRandom, let’s start with the rules: choose a subject or a scene spend five minutes photographing it – no more!…

    So delicate and pretty.  Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm macro lens (120mm equivalent), handheld, low light, shaky shoulder. I just want to say thank you so much for all your comments yesterday. It makes me feel so much better to hear from you all. And to those of you who are also in pain, I’m…
