    The Flowers of Brunswick East (19)

    This tree was so pretty and creating its own shade in the morning light. I think it was well suited to both colour and monochrome shots. Shot with my Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm macro, hand held, morning light, all shots are different, even though those last two look identical! This is one of my…

    Lavender is a very popular plant in my neighbourhood. I photographed it a few times for this series. This collection is from one front garden. I like the mix of old and new growth and the shades of lavender – some more blue and some more pink. There were no bees this time, but there…

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (17)

    This is the beginning of the third walk around my neighbourhood. It’s another street, parallel to the first one, a tiny street, with not many houses, a dead end, but lots of flowers and they all smell amazing.

    These little bells were growing under a tree on the side of the road. The leaves are quite thick and succulent-like…. x desleyjane

    I went a bit crazy with this dandelion. It’s quite difficult with them waving around in the breeze but I wanted to get up super close to this one. Imagine if I could cut it and take it home without it falling apart and photograph under controlled conditions?! This was taken from such a weird…

    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…

  • A Little More Sunflower Magic

    A Little More Sunflower Magic

    As you know, I love macro photography and flowers are my favourite macro subject. 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…

  • 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!…

  • Five Minutes with Murray (and Molly) – RegularRandom

    Five Minutes with Murray (and Molly) – RegularRandom

    It would appear that I might be a creature of habit. Twelve months ago to the day, I was in Brisbane, I spent the day with my best friend, we did a lot of shopping and we went to the hairdresser. Yesterday was no different, we did all of that again. Just a happy coincidence,…
