    Eclectic Corner – Decadence (Extreme)

    In the cloying darkness of the dance floor, she closed her eyes, flinging her body from side to side, up and down with the heavy beat. Sweat dripped, wet clothes clinging to her tiny frame. Completely unaware of the crowd around her, she danced, her arms waving above her head. She was in a trance,…

    Long days, photo two ways (Rehab8)

    Waiting. Trapped behind glass. Desperate to enter. Denied. The light will conquer the darkness. Waiting. With so many hours of my time spent waiting in airports and sitting on planes, I have really enjoyed flicking through my photos and playing with editing techniques. This photo was taken kind of at random in a coffee shop…

    Beer O’clock (Rehab3)

    I’ve left my camera at my parents’ house so I thought today that I would pull out an image from back when I wasn’t so experienced with my camera. I was working in aperture mode because I had a good handle on how that worked. You can tell I was inexperienced from the settings that…

    Thank goodness there are a few new prompts/challenges floating about. Check out the tags “#eclectic corner” and “#just thursday” – such fun!

  • One of my QT Favourites.

    One of my QT Favourites.

    Today, I wanted to share with you one of my favourite photos. I get a “feeling” from it, and isn’t that what this art of photography is all about 😉. To me, this one has an air of romance about it, a dreamy quality that I really respond to. We’ve discussed colour versus black&white images…

    Photo101Weekend4: Colour vs Monochrome.

    Yesterday’s post with photos from our day at the races was mainly presented in black and white. It was suggested by @terryb that I show the colour versions as well and I thought it was a good idea. I was interested to see the comparison side-by-side. The races are such a colourful event, so it’s…

    Photo101Weekend4: Explore the Races.

    One of my closest friends has been going through some very hard times in her personal life. She is being so brave and proactive about getting on with her new life and she invited us to join her for a day at the races. I’m not really a fan of going to the races but I wanted…

    Photo101(20): Triumph Finding my Heritage.

    When I saw that today’s brief was “Trumph”, I really didn’t know what to do, until I read the description. I realised that we should pick a moment of triumph in our life – something that made us feel triumphant. I went to the UK for two weeks for work recently and I had a…

    Photo101(12): Architecture in Light.

    A very long day today as it was a travelling day. Did you know that the flight from Brisbane to Perth takes 5 hours and 45 minutes? Follow that with another 5 hours of work. By the time I was able to pick up my camera, it was raining and the sun had set. That…
