Melbourne Streets 7
IGers Melbourne InstaMeet March 2016 The group contained a few people who were happy to pose for various shots and this guy was doing that for a group up on top of this heavily-graffiti’ed parking structure. I was lucky enough to catch him in the act. x desleyjane

Macro Garden Series – 8
One of the best tips for macro photography is to get on the same plane as the subject. What I mean is – try not to shoot from above or below the subject. This makes for some interesting angles for the handheld shooter, I’m sure some of them are bonafide yoga poses 😀 The other tip is…

Retired Rower.
We came across this gentleman as we were walking along the bank of Albert Park Lake in South Melbourne. We asked if we could take his photo and he laughed at us. He said to tell everyone that he is the retired rower. I noticed his name on the canoe behind him so I looked…

Melbourne Streets 6
I was so happy to find so many chances for macro shots on our walk through the very urban streets of Fitzroy and Carlton. In fact, I used my macro lens exclusively for the last two hours of the walk. I found this plant outside of the diner where we finished our walk. It was…

Admiration
I’ve met a very cool group of people via the IGers Melbourne hashtag. Each month, we all get together to photographically investigate a particular area of the city. In April, the meetup coincided with Earth Day and became a world-wide InstaMeet (WWIM), where people from all over the world shared their images with the same…

Macro Garden Series – 7
Another bright and intricate flower from the garden series. The colours were so vibrant. I was expecting to find bees on these flowers, but there weren’t any. Shot at Wilson Botanic Park with my Olympus OMD EM5 with my 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens. I think this is my last entry to Jude’s Macro in the…

Inside iTerrarium
I couldn’t resist getting up close and personal with some of the little guys inside my previously posted iTerrarium. I’ve included a shot of the terrarium below so you can judge the scale of these plants. They are super-small. Or you can go visit the post linked above to see the whole thing. I thought this…

I always love finding words in street art, messages for the viewer. The last one is my favourite. Although I do feel like cake now…. IGers Melbourne InstaMeet March 2016 I did post a couple of these on Instagram last month…. x desleyjane

Abstract
I made a batch of pumpkin soup recently and froze it in little Tupperware containers. When I took one out after work one evening, I was fascinated by the pattern of ice that had formed on the lid, so of course I grabbed my camera and started snapping. For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge…

Macro Garden Series – 6
Isn’t this plant amazing? I was fascinated by it. And when editing it, the high contrast and clarity really brought out an almost painted quality to the image. This has become one of my favourite shots. I was able to catch the end-phase of the plant as well. Shot at Wilson Botanic Park with my…

Back to Brisbane
When I went back to Brisbane for my friend’s birthday weekend, I got to see my old city at night as well as my bridge. Brisbane really is a beautiful city. I think it’s often overlooked – but it’s really stunning, something to see from every angle, lots of hills to see the city and…

Not Really Appropriate for Dinner
While at the conference last week, I had hoped to be able to get out into the grounds with my camera but it was so busy that it wasn’t possible. However, one day, they served teeny tiny cupcakes for morning tea and I just happened to have my camera in my backpack 😀 The downlights…
