  • Reading

    This young lady was totally immersed in her book, catching some rays on a Winter’s afternoon. I wonder what she’s reading… Any guesses? From my recent Changing Seasons shoot at Southbank in Brisbane. Submitting this photo to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane

  • Libertine Parfumerie

    My friends and I visited a beautiful parfumerie on the weekend – Libertine in New Farm, Brisbane. What a gorgeous store. We were greeted by the lovely Zoe, with the popping of a bottle of bubbly and then we delved into what scents we like and how they make us feel. The space is filled…

  • Listening

    This guy was enjoying the sunshine, listening to his tunes. Whaddya reckon? Shania Twain? 80’s Hair Bands? Metallica? David Guetta? From a recent trip to Southbank for my Changing Seasons shoot. For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane  

  • 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 😉…

  • PhotoRehab Cover Makeover 6

    It’s time again for our PhotoRehab Cover Makeover Challenge. Lucile has set us a crazy challenge this week – the cover from a block of chocolate!!! Here is the original: We laughed about this cover, it’s not so appealing although Lucile assures me that the contents are delicious 😉 I have to say, this sounded…

  • Zooming in on Light Effects

    This post is for the Available Light joint feature between Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic and Nalinki’s Angles and Views. This month, she asks us to experiment with light effects! The photos here were all taken more than a year ago. My photography skills have improved since then, so I would really like to try these…

  • 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…

  • Perfect in Pink

    Pink isn’t just a colour, it’s an attitude.  – Miley Cyrus I have some creeping roses outside my front window and I love to photograph them. I’ve left them alone for quite a few weeks as it’s been a bit cold, but I recently went out for a challenge to get some macro shots. I…

  • 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…
