    Bottles and Bubbles

    Another set of shots from our Still Life Workshop at Julie Powell‘s studio. This was fun. We shot on a mirror with a white canvas behind the mirror. It’s a bit of work to get all the parts in the right place at the right time, but the payoff is awesome. I brought out the chemistry…

    When Life Hands You Lemons….

    These juicy lemons were shot on black perspex and I used my macro lens (I’m such a sucker for macro, as you know). And just for fun: x desleyjane

    Such a bizarre flower – I have to call upon my botany experts in the blogosphere to tell me what this is. Shot at the Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Olympus OMD EM5, 60m macro. x desleyjane

    Deconstructed Flower – 1

    I really want to first off mention this wonderful post from my dear Lucile in Amsterdam. She has sent me some wonderful wishes for my day today.  I’ve mentioned that I recently attended a Still Life Workshop with Julie Powell in her fabulous studio. One of the things Julz wanted to do was to slice up…

    The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Morning. Of course, this is not my usual morning, I wish I was that organised. This is from a still life workshop, hosted by the lovely Julz (Julie Powell). We had a fantastic day, with many more photos to come! And inspired by my blogging friend Susan Rushton, who posted…

    Macro Garden Series – 21

    I can tell you right now that my Dad would be horrified that these were planted in the botanical gardens. Lantana is a nasty weed on sugar cane farms. I still love the delicate little flower heads and the wonderful colours. Shot at the Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Olympus OMD EM5, 60m macro. x desleyjane  …

    Macro Garden Series – 20

    Judging by the leaves and the colour of the flowers, I’m guessing this is some kind of daisy?? I really like the tightly compacted heads, they almost look like plastic. Shot at the Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Olympus OMD EM5, 60m macro. x desleyjane

    I would usually post a fern frond in black and white, but the colours in this one were so lovely, I had to keep it in colour. Shot at Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro. x desleyjane

    Melbourne Streets 17

    I found these flowers on our walk through Albert Park in South Melbourne. I had my 45mm lens on (90mm equivalent). This is a gorgeous portrait lens, and I’ve been trying to use it more in every day photography. You can’t get very close, it’s no good for macro, but it can produce beautiful booked…

  • Handbag Product Shoot – Macro Detail

    Handbag Product Shoot – Macro Detail

    I purchased a new handbag a few weeks ago. Actually, I’ve bought three new handbags in the last couple of months. Shocking, I know 😉 This most recent bag was one I picked up at my local markets. I had a discussion with the stall owner about photography and as some of you may remember,…

    Macro Garden Series – 18

    A departure from the pretty pinks. I like the textures in these remnants of flowers, with the delicate web on the second one. Shot at Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro. x desleyjane
