Sweetness & Light
I took this photo on my recent Changing Seasons shoot at Southbank Parklands in Brisbane. My friend and I were chatting and I spotted this plant waving in the breeze above the smaller plants around it. I tried my best to get it to autofocus but it didn’t want to, so I used manual focus.…

Beautiful Brisbane – October 2015
I feel like this might have been my last Changing Seasons (hosted by Cardinal Guzman) shoot for Brisbane. Maybe I can fit one more in? Not sure… I met up with an old friend and we went on a walk around Southbank with our cameras and our conversation, visiting all the usual spots as well as a…

Last Garden Shoot?
I have some apple blossom plants in my front garden that are supposed to become a hedge. They have taken years to grow and finally (now that I’m moving) they’re starting to really take off. They are covered in beautiful white blossoms and I always see so many bees buzzing around the blossoms. I’ve wanted…

An August Sunday in Brisbane
Brisbane is a beautiful, laid back, comfortable city. We were at the end of Winter when I took thee shots and the temperatures ranged between 12 and 27 degrees Celsius this week. Fabulous. A couple of weekends ago, two of my best friends and I went out for the day. We had a loose plan of having…

Playing With the Moon.
I came home late one night last week and noticed the moon looking amazing. The night before that, it was covered in clouds. The first time I tried photographing the moon (here) was the Blood Moon and it was ok, but not great. So I was excited to try again. Then, I decided to play…

A very quick shoot in my garden a few nights ago. I spotted this little guy by accident so captured his adventures with my 60mm macro lens on my trusty Olympus OMD EM5. For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge – From Every Angle. x desleyjane

Libertine Parfumerie
My friends and I visited a beautiful parfumerie on the weekend – Libertine in New Farm, Brisbane. What a gorgeous store. We were greeted by the lovely Zoe, with the popping of a bottle of bubbly and then we delved into what scents we like and how they make us feel. The space is filled…

Zooming in on Light Effects
This post is for the Available Light joint feature between Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic and Nalinki’s Angles and Views. This month, she asks us to experiment with light effects! The photos here were all taken more than a year ago. My photography skills have improved since then, so I would really like to try these…

Ukulele
Two of my dear friends sent me this ukulele for Christmas last year. I remember the day it arrived, I wasn’t feeling great and it arrived by courier. I figured out what it was from the shape of the package but still, when I unwrapped it and saw this gorgeous pink ukulele, I remember laughing…
