    The Flowers of Brunswick East (8)

    A very strange plant, this one. I have to call upon my lovely gardening friends to help me out! Actually, I don’t know what most of the flowers I post are… Would you believe I did a Botany class at University? LOL. x desleyjane

  • 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…

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (7)

    A random little collection today. I didn’t realise I shot the little ant in the trio of blossoms until I was editing. He’s not very sharp I’m afraid… Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro, handheld, low light, needing a nap. x desleyjane

  • 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!…

    Scale

    For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Scale. One of the Art Filters on my Olympus OMD EM5 is a Tilt Shift effect, which creates this intriguing miniature effect – I love it, it’s been ages since I’ve used it. These photos are from 2014. x desleyjane

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (5)

    So delicate and pretty.  Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm macro lens (120mm equivalent), handheld, low light, shaky shoulder. I just want to say thank you so much for all your comments yesterday. It makes me feel so much better to hear from you all. And to those of you who are also in pain, I’m…

    The state of my succulents on my balcony. Don’t mind the cobwebs! Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm macro (120mm equivalent) handheld, golden hour. Oh and in case anyone is wondering about my spontaneous yellow pansy from this post, here it is now! x desleyjane  

  • 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,…
