Photo101Weekend4: Colour vs Monochrome.
Yesterday’s post with photos from our day at the races was mainly presented in black and white. It was suggested by @terryb that I show the colour versions as well and I thought it was a good idea. I was interested to see the comparison side-by-side. The races are such a colourful event, so it’s…

Photo101Weekend4: Explore the Races.
One of my closest friends has been going through some very hard times in her personal life. She is being so brave and proactive about getting on with her new life and she invited us to join her for a day at the races. I’m not really a fan of going to the races but I wanted…

Photo101(20): Triumph Finding my Heritage.
When I saw that today’s brief was “Trumph”, I really didn’t know what to do, until I read the description. I realised that we should pick a moment of triumph in our life – something that made us feel triumphant. I went to the UK for two weeks for work recently and I had a…

Photo101(19): Double on the Double.
I could not wait to finish work today so I could get into this shoot. Wandering around the house, I found a lot of doubles. My computer sits on the second shelf of an open bookcase in my living room. On the top shelf are these two cocktail shakers. I don’t think I’ve ever used…

Photo101(18): Edge of Lifou.
I had to choose between photography and a hot stone massage this evening and, well… I chose the massage. It was amazing, really worth it. Anyway, I have some shots here, taken in an abandoned unfinished house in Lifou in the South Pacific. This was particularly challenging for today’s brief, because the building isn’t exactly…

Photo101(17): Glassy Delights.
My header image is the first thing I thought of for today’s topic. It’s from my recent holiday in Queenstown, New Zealand, which I feel like I’ve talked about constantly here :). I woke up earlier than the rest of my travelling companions each day. We were staying in a large house, right by the…

Photo101(16): Treasures of Silver & Gold.
I’ve never thought of my jewellery as trophies. I’m here to take care of it, and to love it, for we are only temporary custodians of beauty. – Elizabeth Taylor. I treasure many things, mainly my family, my friends and my little puppy Gidget. Lesser treasures are those shown here. I am not surrounded by Elizabeth Taylor…

Photo101Weekend3: Hone Your Eye?
I’m not sure I’ve really addressed the brief today, but I wanted to try my hand at photographing food with a little more panache than usual. I’d like to have a go at styling and setting up a food “scene” sometime soon, but today I concentrated on the food itself, the composition and cropping to…

Photo101(15): Landscapes of Queenstown.
I wasn’t able to get out and about today to take some photos for Landscapes. However, I had a fantastic holiday recently in New Zealand – we went to the snow in Queenstown. It was my first time in this beautiful city and I absolutely loved it. I went with two very good and lovely friends…

Photo101(14): Swarms of Red, White and Blue.
I was having a lovely coffee break looking through all the posts from today and came across today’s brief. I wondered what on earth I would use when I looked up and saw the beautiful pattern of clouds all around me. I am at QEII Hospital today, visiting customers and talking about molecular biology, genetics…

Photo101(13): Moments in Time.
I knew what I wanted to do for this post as soon as I read the brief. These images are from some time spent in the South Pacific last year. I cannot tell you how lovely these people are, so compassionate and accommodating and welcoming. The children were amazing, this is work for them in…

Photo101(12): Architecture in Light.
A very long day today as it was a travelling day. Did you know that the flight from Brisbane to Perth takes 5 hours and 45 minutes? Follow that with another 5 hours of work. By the time I was able to pick up my camera, it was raining and the sun had set. That…
