    Well hello there! Welcome to Contemplation. I’ve created a new writing feature / challenge and I hope that you can join me. Please feel free to use the image above as our badge. Since July 17th, 2015, I have been using the Kikki.K A Sentence a Day Journal. This is a beautiful mindfulness journal which…

    A Housewarming Gift

    I live in Melbourne, almost 2,000km from Brisbane, where I lived before. When I was looking for somewhere to live, it was difficult to do so from Brisbane. Online tools are very useful, but it’s just not the same as seeing the apartment in the flesh. Once I had found a place I liked (based…

    Taking Macro to the Next Level

    Sometimes my job is a lot of fun. Last week, we had a big trade display at a conference here in Melbourne. I got to play with a bunch of toys, and learn from some of our suppliers visiting from Japan and The Netherlands. You know how much I love macro photography, right? I was…

    Time Passes

    For The Daily Posts’s Weekly Photo Challenge : Time.   This photo was taken in Mackay, very near my home town – we were driving for dinner with extended family. I like this shot – I took it from the car window (Dad was driving😋) with my Olympus OMD EM5 – such a fleeting moment…

    As soon as this baby arrived at the Midsummer Faerie Rade, the family was swamped with photographers. Who could blame them? How cute is she?! 😍 x desleyjane

      Some more shots from my walk through Melbourne’s famous laneways. I would have liked to have caught the chef looking at me, but I like the framing here anyway. I also enjoyed seeing some of the “words” within the graffiti as well. x desleyjane

    Mid-Summer Portrait 2

      Most of the Rade-goers went all out with their costumes and make-up and this young lady also went out of her way to pose for us. I really loved editing the above black and white portrait, but I also love the dress, so thought I’d show you a colour shot as well. Again, I…

    Mid-Summer Portrait 1

    These portraits were taken at the Midsummer Faerie Rade in Melbourne in 2016 (a couple of weekends ago). Taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 with the 45mm portrait lens (90mm equivalent). Here’s another shot in colour, so you can better view her intricate makeup: Most people at the Rade were dressed in costume and were…

    Melbourne Street Art 1

      I am settling in to my new city and what an intriguing and colourful city it is. I’ve been here many times before as a visitor, but it’s even more amazing as a resident. Recently, Michelle from This Melbourne Life presented “3 of the best  … Laneways in Melbourne“, filling in for me as…

  • Shoal Point Beach.

    Shoal Point Beach.

    It has been so dry here in Mackay. Well maybe that’s not the right way to put it. I’ve mentioned in some comments about how humid it is here – it’s usually about 30 degrees Celsius by 9am and sits at between 70 and 75% humidity. There’s a breeze off the ocean, but it’s a hot…

    Angles of Pink

    I’ve been asked by a couple of people how I get this very white background in my photos so I’ve written a tutorial on this, which you can find at Image Reboot #7. This is one of the buds I picked for my Trio post for the DP Weekly Photo Challenge. I had it in…
