  • Curses (B&W2, Rehab11)

    Curses (B&W2, Rehab11)

    I was so excited when I took this photo. It was in Lifou (in the South Pacific). A group of dancers entertained us for about half an hour and this dancer was the most serious the whole time, even afterwards when the others were interacting with the crowd. I captured this image and I felt like…

  • Beautiful Boy (B&W1, Rehab10)

    Beautiful Boy (B&W1, Rehab10)

    I have been dying for an opportunity to show you this portrait of my lovely friend, actually he is the partner of one of my all-time-favourite people, so he has become a dear friend of mine as well. You may remember his silhouette from the Photo101 Solitude post. Cardinal Guzman has challenged me to join…

  • The Beach (Rehab9)

    The Beach (Rehab9)

    For today’s rehab clinic, I was able to go back to Maroubra Beach in the morning, and it was a much sunnier day so I was able to get some nice colour in the shots. My plan was to try to capture some of the waves breaking on the rocks. I’ve taken all of these…

  • Long days, photo two ways (Rehab8)

    Long days, photo two ways (Rehab8)

    Waiting. Trapped behind glass. Desperate to enter. Denied. The light will conquer the darkness. Waiting. With so many hours of my time spent waiting in airports and sitting on planes, I have really enjoyed flicking through my photos and playing with editing techniques. This photo was taken kind of at random in a coffee shop…

  • Flower Power (Rehab7)

    Flower Power (Rehab7)

    We were in the office from 8am til 7pm today then dinner with the team til now (10pm) so I apologise, these are from the archives. You know I love macro and I also love flowers, so I really enjoy getting up close with my 60mm macro lens and seeing how it performs hand-held at…

    View from Above (Rehab6)

    It was another big day today. A very late night last night (I forgot I was on daylight savings time) and an early start today. I sacrificed breakfast for sleep and just stopped off for a coffee on the way to the office. We had meetings all day at work, plus a meeting after work then…

  • Beachy Views (Rehab5)

    Beachy Views (Rehab5)

    I was up at 5am today for a flight to Sydney and spent the afternoon seeing customers at Westmead Children’s Hospital. It’s now almost midnight and I need to go to bed! After work today, my head was cloudy and I felt like I needed to decompress. The plan was to have dinner with friends…

  • Maple Pecan Granola (Rehab4)

    Maple Pecan Granola (Rehab4)

    Ok, today I’ve combined Photo101 Rehab with this recipe that I wanted to share with you. I love this granola – it’s a Martha Stewart recipe that I’ve tweaked slightly. It’s so good. I made it a few Christmases ago and bottled it for my friends and they all returned the empty bottles asking for a…

  • Beer O’clock (Rehab3)

    Beer O’clock (Rehab3)

    I’ve left my camera at my parents’ house so I thought today that I would pull out an image from back when I wasn’t so experienced with my camera. I was working in aperture mode because I had a good handle on how that worked. You can tell I was inexperienced from the settings that…

  • Strongest (Rehab2)

    Strongest (Rehab2)

    Day2 of Photo101 Rehab and I hope I’m not too late! I love to experiment with macro photography. I took these photos when I was cleaning my camera one day during the November photo101 challenge. I had cereal for breakfast outside and had put a little on the tiles for Gidget. I watched as an…

    Sign of the Cross (Rehab1)

    Thank goodness there are a few new prompts/challenges floating about. Check out the tags “#eclectic corner” and “#just thursday” – such fun! Lucile at bridging lacunas has started a photo101 rehab clinic for us to continue posting a photo a day. Please join in! So, my photo above. I took this photo while travelling in the…

  • One of my QT Favourites.

    One of my QT Favourites.

    Today, I wanted to share with you one of my favourite photos. I get a “feeling” from it, and isn’t that what this art of photography is all about 😉. To me, this one has an air of romance about it, a dreamy quality that I really respond to. We’ve discussed colour versus black&white images…
