Iced Up, Close Up
We had a large piece of ice that wouldn’t fit into the cooler so I threw it onto the grass. When I went out in the garden to do some macro shots for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge (Close Up), I noticed the melting ice and took a few shots. Is it just me, or does…

Split in Two
This photo was taken at Shorncliffe Pier, north of Brisbane. Such a clear afternoon, not a cloud in the sky. For The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Half and Half. Here is the prompt: This week, share an image that has two clear halves, literally or figuratively. You could focus on composition, like me, and take…

Monochromatic Dramatic
For Tech of the Month: Black and White, hosted by PerelinColors and Lucile’s PhotoRehab Clinic. This month, they ask us what we thinks make a great black and white image, and what we look for when shooting in black and white. I’ve posted a lot of black and white recently – it really is my…

A Little Drama
I have recently posted a number of photos with white negative space, I really enjoy that type of photography. However lately, I’ve wanted to experiment with dark negative space instead. I plan to do some shooting in the next week or so, but in the meantime I did a little editing in Lightroom on an image…

Dancing in the Dark
My friend invited us to watch her Spotlight Dance at the Dance Studio where she studies ballroom. I took my camera along (of course!) and tried my hand at shooting fast-moving subjects in very low light and with a flash. I used the flash that came with my camera – a hot shoe popup. It…

Secret
She leaned against the railing and stared out at the darkness of the ocean, the waves whipping against the side of the ship, foaming the water so that she could almost make out stripes of white, turquoise and deep, deep blue. She watched the foam disappear from view as the ship slipped through the water…

The Light
Milly was cold, so cold. Her daughters were fussing around her room, pulling up her blankets, arranging flowers, tidying the nightstand. They were such good girls, all three of them. They’d fought like cats and dogs as children, but they loved each other just as fiercely. And they loved her fiercely as well, she suddenly…

Getting Perspective (Eclectic Corner #12.3)
Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different… – CS Lewis. For Justine’s Eclectic Corner #12 – Perspective (Quote). Why this quote? If we just keep going through life, doing the things we do day by day, we don’t really notice how we are growing…

Image Reboot #3
Welcome again to Image Reboot, a joint feature between Lucile (bridging lacunas) and myself (musings of a frequent flying scientist). Lucile asked me if I would write a monthly feature outlining what I’ve learnt about editing my photographs which I was honoured to do. I use LightRoom 5, I need to upgrade to version 6…

Anger
The door slammed and with the sound, another piece of her heart shattered. It had been this way for weeks. He had always had a temper, but it had been playful, easily ignored and she hadn’t thought anything of it. Until recently. Now his mood had changed. His temper was dark and brooding, always festering. She…

Senior Video Blogger
I took this photo for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab clinic. I was shooting the sunset over Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. It was pretty quiet, just a few people watching the sunset. Just as the light was fading, a busload of senior citizens arrived and they all came over to check out the sunset.…
