  • Blossoms, Up Close

    You know I can’t resist macro shots of flowers!! These are all the same plant at various stages. I’ve included the shot where I’m holding the blossom just to show you the size. For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Close Up. And for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane

  • Bumpy Split

    Another shot from Queenstown, it was a cloudy and overcast day, some snow and very cold. This photo is another one for The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Half and Half and also for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane  

  • Spiritual Halves

      Ok, thank you for indulging my apparent fascination with the Weekly Photo Challenge (Half and Half) this week. I enjoy angles and lines and usually try to show these to their extreme where possible. This photo was taken in Chiang Mai in Thailand. So much gold everywhere you look, but outside almost poverty all…

  • Beautiful Brisbane – July 2015

    Here is my post for Cardinal Guzman’s Changing Seasons event. This is a very cool event where we are tasked with going back to the same location each month and taking photographs there to see the changes that occur from season to season. I have only done this every second month, I have to admit! I’ve…

  • Split on the Diagonal

    I couldn’t resist another photo for this prompt (actually I might have a couple more up my sleeve). This photo was taken at Coronet Peak in Queenstown, New Zealand. My eye was caught by the lines created with on the diagonal here. And the white snow, blue sky, white clouds were just glorious. For The…

  • Split in Two

    This photo was taken at Shorncliffe Pier, north of Brisbane. Such a clear afternoon, not a cloud in the sky. For The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Half and Half. Here is the prompt: This week, share an image that has two clear halves, literally or figuratively. You could focus on composition, like me, and take…

  • Monochromatic Dramatic

    For Tech of the Month: Black and White, hosted by PerelinColors and Lucile’s PhotoRehab Clinic. This month, they ask us what we thinks make a great black and white image, and what we look for when shooting in black and white. I’ve posted a lot of black and white recently – it really is my…

  • A Little Drama

    I have recently posted a number of photos with white negative space, I really enjoy that type of photography. However lately, I’ve wanted to experiment with dark negative space instead. I plan to do some shooting in the next week or so, but in the meantime I did a little editing in Lightroom on an image…

  • A Rainbow for Your Monday

    A very quick post tonight. I really couldn’t help but share this photo with you. I moved some plants around on the weekend and needed to water them in. I was about to run back inside when I noticed this beautiful rainbow caught in the spray of the sprinkler, so I had to grab my…

  • Dancing in the Dark

    My friend invited us to watch her Spotlight Dance at the Dance Studio where she studies ballroom. I took my camera along (of course!) and tried my hand at shooting fast-moving subjects in very low light and with a flash. I used the flash that came with my camera – a hot shoe popup. It…

  • Doors (WPC)

    This weekly photo challenge asks us to show Doors. The pink door above and below is my own front door, which I’ve posted about before here. Here is a little gallery of doors, I do hope you enjoy. I’m also submitting these to Lucile’s Photo Rehab Clinic. Happy weekend everybody! x desleyjane

  • Loyalty (Eclectic Corner #13.1)

    Loyalty – what does that word mean? Can you see it? To me, loyalty is easily visible between my parents. Justine gave us the definition – faithfulness to obligations or commitments. But I think it’s much more than that. Loyalty between loved ones is evident in the way they look at each other, in the…
