Experimenting with Light
I trapped myself in my hotel room one night in Melbourne last week with a pizza and a bottle of wine and my camera. They had upgraded me to a corner suite which gives me a view of the park and the city, so I decided to experiment – remember, I am a scientist 😉…

Creepy
This week, The Daily Post challenges us to find something Creepy. Now I don’t usually find clowns particularly creepy, although it totally depends on the clown 😉 I felt a little chill when I noticed that this particular clown at the Royal Show (Ekka) was looking right at me!! Possessed?!!! Yikes. Have a fabulous weekend.…

A Single Drop
How cool is this single drop? It’s perched on the end of one of the leaves of the weed shown below. I love the way water droplets are rounded (that’s science!!) and that they reflect the world around them (that’s science too LOL). This pink flower is a tiny weed, just a centimetre long. Oh…

Beneath Our Feet
I had grand plans of finding cool things to photograph beneath my feet for this week’s Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge but time is slipping away as I’m travelling a lot at the moment. So when my best friend took me for pedicures, shopping, dinner, cocktails and a movie on Saturday night for my…

Raindrops on Spiderwebs
When I was photographing dewdrops on some plants in my back garden, I noticed a some spiderwebs on my dead lime tree 😉 They made for some fascinating photos – not as sharp as I’d like, but hey it was 8 degrees Celsius and it wasn’t even 7am! Plus it was almost above head height…

Short Shoot in Melbourne
Last week I visited Melbourne for a day trip. I left my home at 5am, worked all day, then flew out at 8pm, arriving back at my home at 11:30pm. I knew I would have a couple of hours before my flight home so I took my trusty Olympus OMD EM5 with my 17mm (35mm equivalent)…

A Girl’s Best Friend?
Maybe his name is “Diamond”? 😉 I’ve been reminiscing about my trip to Amsterdam in April this year and taking a look though the photos on these cold Aussie winter evenings. I really loved these shots. Lucile and I were playing with the 60mm macro lens on my camera and took a few shots inside…

Are you ready for your close-up?
One of my many rubber duckies 😉 This one is actually a mini rubber ducky. He is just 5cm high. The trouble with macro is that it shows how much I need to do some dusting! For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Close Up. My last one, I promise!! And for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab…

The Rose Gold-en Hour
I am currently addicted to rose gold. I found this clock recently at kikki-k, my favourite stationery store and had to take it home with me. For this shoot, I placed it on my white cabinet next to my front door with the sunlight streaming in. I love the way the natural light from outside…
