  • The Lines in the Light

    The Lines in the Light

    I was struck by this scene, as we walked beneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The sky was completely grey and this beautiful fence stretched out along the path. I deliberately took the photo with the aperture wide open, so that the shot was slightly overexposed. Then, when editing in Lightroom, I bumped the exposure up…

    I spotted this Dad and Daughter skateboarding in Albert Park, they were adorable. I can’t decide whether I prefer a landscape or portrait orientation for this shot. Oh, and I couldn’t resist the colour splash 😉 IGers Melbourne April InstaMeet. x desleyjane

    Macro Garden Series – 17

    Such pretty pink camellias. If you love macro like I do, check out Musin’ With Susan‘s weekly macro challenge. I thought this photo would fit in well there.  Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro. Happy Birthday to my dear friend Tony. It’s his birthday today and while pink isn’t really his colour (actually he can’t see pink),…

    Remnants of Breakfast

    I have a colleague whose wife makes glorious cakes, really stunningly decorated cakes. He photographs them for her, for their website. He asked me to take a look at his shots and to go through some editing tips in Lightroom. We met over breakfast before work one day while I was in Sydney and we…

    Macro Garden Series – 16

    This is my first post from our visit to the Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. These flowers were so stunning – I spent quite a bit of time with them. And I fell in love when I edited the image above. As usual, I used my Olympus OMD EM5 with the 60mm macro lens. x desleyjane

    Gritty / Pretty

    I took these two photos in the same street, just a few meters apart, in Sydney, not far from the base of the Sydney Harbour Bridge which I photographed recently. Such a contrast between the dark and the light, the gritty and the pretty. We often see what we want to see.  Shot with my…

    This beautiful dog came up to the gate of his house to greet us. I love his melancholy eyes. Taken during the IGers Melbourne April meetup. x desleyjane

    Partners

    For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Partners. This photo was taken in Amsterdam when I visited Lucile on King’s Day. I thought they looked so cool standing there, like models posing for a photo shoot. I love this photo (even though it’s not so sharp) and have never shared it before. I have desaturated…

    Macro Garden Series – 15

    This is my last post in my macro garden series from my trip with Julie to the Wilson Botanic Park. This flower was growing in the carpark and I was struck by its shape, its sharp edges.   Shot with my Olympus OMD EM5 with my 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens. I hope you’ve enjoyed…

  • Curves Of Sydney

    Curves Of Sydney

    This prompt came out while I was in Sydney, so how could I resist the stunning and statuesque curves of the Sydney Harbour Bridge? It seems to appear out of nowhere when you’re driving through the city. You catch glimpses of it all the time. I’m always excited to drive over it, as usually I…

    A few more shots from the IGers Melbourne April Instameet features props. I posted a couple of these on Instagram. Note that the girl with the umbrella is not touching the ground in the shot where she is alone. You can see our parachute prop photos here. x desleyjane
