The Moon of Blood… Or Cheese?
I’ve never tried to take photos of the moon before. I don’t know why, I’m quite fascinated by astronomy but I don’t really know a lot about it. I was SO looking forward to the Blood Moon this weekend. I even put a calendar entry in my phone for “Pink Moon” to remind myself. I…

Blur
For the week’s Weekly Photo Challenge, we are prompted with the word Blur. At Christmas, it was very hot here in Brisbane and Gidget was cooling herself in the air conditioning so I took thee two shots, where I’ve moved the focal point between two different spots to create a blurred background, and a blurred…

Alien Plant Farm
It’s intriguing what a macro shot can show you. On my recent walk through my garden, I took these two photos. I find them to be quite strange and almost alien-like structures. I think they make great freaky additions to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. This first one is a small pest with a milky sap…

Let it Be?
I took my camera on a stroll through my garden on Sunday with my 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens attached. I came across this little garden pest growing amongst the rocks near my clothesline. As I usually do, I got down low and spent some time shooting this lovely little flower. It’s growing quite wildly…

Birds & Cider
Some birds are not meant to be caged, that’s all.– Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings. – J.M. Barrie, The Little White Bird. These photos are going to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab…

Fly By Night
On a recent flight home from Sydney, I captured a photo of some architecture which I called Curves and Edges. I almost always arrive home from a trip in the late evening, it’s almost always dark when I get to my car. And I’ve always enjoyed seeing the airport lit up at night. Never…

Splash (Eclectic #8)
Into the water? Or sit tight safe on the sand? Serious choices. Justine at Eclectic Odds and Sods, as I’m sure you know, hosts Eclectic Corner. This 8th edition is entitled “Splash of Colour” and asks us to submit a photograph depicting a splash of colour. I decided to also include a splash of water 🙂 Justine…

Dancing Bits and Bobs
For today’s experiment, you can have a lot of fun and you can make a lot of mess. I had fun working out the best things to use here. The original experiment that I remember from when I was at school, used sultanas. The book that I wrote a chapter for said to use spaghetti.…

Fresh-ly Opened
If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change – Buddha. Photos taken with my Olympus OMD EM5. I thought it was time for some colour 🙂 For this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Fresh. x desleyjane

Curves and Edges
I have walked through Brisbane Airport more than 100 times. On a return fight from Sydney recently, on a Friday night after 9pm, I noticed this structure on the rail station, which is one floor up from the main walkway between the terminal and the carpark. I’m sure I must have seen it before, but…

A Piece of Nepal in Brisbane
While out shooting for my March Changing Season’s post, I spent some time at the Nepalese Pagoda. This was the Kingdom of Nepal’s contribution to World Expo 88 which was held here in Brisbane. The Pagoda has become a permanent fixture within the lush rainforest walk at Southbank. According to visitbrisbane “it features 80 tonnes…

Walls of my World
For this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge, we are tasked with photographing Walls: Share an image of a wall that reveals something about a place, people, or you. Here are some walls that I’ve discovered recently… This hardware store seems to be using all available wall space for advertising. Some kind of desperation? This wall is…
