  • 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…

  • Dewy Gemstones

    The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge this week asks us for our Inspiration – what makes us get up and go each day, makes us happy. Of course, there are a number of things – family, friends, missG, nature, so many things that are inspirational, or that motivate us to get up and DO something.…

  • 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…

  • PhotoRehabCoverMakeover 5

    Don’t forget the hashtag!     #PhotoRehabCoverMakeover Lucile and I have decided we should makeover a CD cover this week, that’s exciting! Something different, and it’s cool album. It’s Simply Red’s album – Simplified. Given the name of the album, I wanted to do something quite simple and understated and to keep the image quite distraction-free. Black…

  • Rose Up Close

    I love roses and these buds were so pretty. I also couldn’t resist shooting the aftermath of flower death, with the bugs finishing it off. Another submission for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Close Up. For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane

  • Recharge

    On the weekend, I was pottering about shooting for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge and came up with this shot some rechargeable batteries that I bought for my solar lights. PhoTrablogger runs the Mundane Monday Challenge where we are to find the beauty in everyday mundane things and I think this one fits the challenge.…

  • Brisbane Wheel in Winter

    I felt the need to show you our wheel separately this month. I was at Southbank for my recent Changing Seasons shoot, and I really loved the sky behind the wheel as the sun was setting. These were taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 camera. Off they go to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic – come…

  • Calling

    An interesting place to hang out and make a call. This is a bicycle repair station. While he was here on the phone for about 10 minutes, a couple came up to use the repair station and he was totally oblivious to their presence. They waited about 30 seconds before shaking their heads and leaving.…

  • Dead Close

    I simply adore this shot. It’s just a dead leaf, but I am fascinated with the shapes and textures. And only a couple of centimetres across. I was doing a shoot in the front garden for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge (Close Up) and spotted this just above eye level, hanging down from a…

  • Iced Up, Close Up

    We had a large piece of ice that wouldn’t fit into the cooler so I threw it onto the grass. When I went out in the garden to do some macro shots for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge (Close Up), I noticed the melting ice and took a few shots. Is it just me, or does…
