  • Macro Garden Series – 2

    Macro Garden Series – 2

    These are two different shots, not the same shot edited differently. I love how the sunlight hits the yellow of the plant, and the darkness of the background. Taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens at the Wilson Botanic Park. x desleyjane

  • Pink and Fuzzy

    Pink and Fuzzy

    A simple shot from a recent dogwalk around the block. I was struck by the colour – my favourite. Olympus OMD EM5 … 17mm … ISO200 … f/4.0 … 1/125th sec x desleyjane

  • Plant in the Park

    Plant in the Park

    I finally decided to take my camera with me to the park tonight and pottered around in amongst the trees and took some shots of this lovely plant. As usual I used my Olympus OMD EM5. I went out only with my 45mm (f/1.8, 90mm equivalent) lens with me. It’s not an everyday lens, but…

  • iPhriday – Bee Cool Baby

    iPhriday – Bee Cool Baby

    Just a quick iPhone snap when I was walking Miss Gidget one morning this week. We were in a hurry and I usually don’t take my phone – too many things to juggle. But I saw this bee, and I have a bit of a thing for bees, so there I was, one hand holding…

  • Hi Biscus! How are ya?

    Hi Biscus! How are ya?

    I was wandering around my backyard one afternoon when I spotted this hibiscus flower. I don’t know where there is a hibiscus plant nearby, I certainly don’t have one, but there it was, already cut and waiting to be photographed. I took it to my glass top table to get some shots.  I’ve had an…

  • Be Generous With Empty Space

    For PerelinColors Tech of the Month in Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic – make use of negative space. I am in love with negative space, have so many photos which I consider to be quite minimal and “full” of empty space. Here is one that I took a couple of weeks ago. I just wanted to catch this little…

  • Dahlias are my favourite flower.

    It’s official. I love these flowers. These miniatures below really take my fancy and these are planted in pots and in my garden under the shade of a bottlebrush tree.  I also took some progressive growth photos of my white dahlia here. For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic and for Nalinki at Angles and Views Flowers Over…

  • In The Pink

    For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. Because everybody needs a little pink in their life. x desleyjane

  • The Yellow (and Pink) Rose of Brisbane

    A little while ago, I posted this photo amongst my garden shoot: It was quite a popular photo, so the following weekend, I went and photographed some more buds on the same rosebush. This rose is beautifully complex. It starts as a yellow bud and then opens with pink tips on the petal. As it…

  • Butterfly Flower.

    Another gallery of shots taken during my recent Changing Seasons shoot. I don’t know what this flower is, please let me know if you do? (I did pass Botany at Uni, but…..). It reminds me of an orchid, but it was growing almost 1 metre tall in large bunches. I’ve also seen them on the…

  • Blue Flowers in a Blue Sky.

    Another couple of shots from my garden, taken during a recent shoot – actually these are from the neighbour’s garden – they are poking out above the fence, waving in the breeze. I should know what it’s called, but I don’t. Anyone? For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane
