I’m excited to join Jennifer Nichole Wells’ One Word Photo Challenge, which is Spring! Spring has well and truly sprung here in Brisbane so I took some progressive shots of my pretty little white dahlia that I planted recently. Of course I couldn’t resist a high contrast, high drama shot for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic.…

Another gallery of shots taken during my recent Changing Seasons shoot. I don’t know what this flower is, please let me know if you do? (I did pass Botany at Uni, but…..). It reminds me of an orchid, but it was growing almost 1 metre tall in large bunches. I’ve also seen them on the…

Another couple of shots from my garden, taken during a recent shoot – actually these are from the neighbour’s garden – they are poking out above the fence, waving in the breeze. I should know what it’s called, but I don’t. Anyone? For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane

I took this photo on my recent Changing Seasons shoot at Southbank Parklands in Brisbane. My friend and I were chatting and I spotted this plant waving in the breeze above the smaller plants around it. I tried my best to get it to autofocus but it didn’t want to, so I used manual focus.…

Read MoreLast Garden Shoot?
I have some apple blossom plants in my front garden that are supposed to become a hedge. They have taken years to grow and finally (now that I’m moving) they’re starting to really take off. They are covered in beautiful white blossoms and I always see so many bees buzzing around the blossoms. I’ve wanted…

On the weekend, I was pottering about shooting for The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge and came up with this shot of my pink bunny ears! You can see the whole bunny and her little yellow baby bunny here. Also for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane

So, please bear with me, as I am hosting the sixth installment of our Image Reboot – a partnership between Desley’s Musings of a Frequent Flying Scientist, with yours truly…
Read MoreDeceptive Planting
You could be forgiven for thinking that these photos were taken in some wintry location in Europe or the US. However, I took these in my back garden about a month ago. This pine tree grows in my neighbour’s back garden, tall and proud and I am always fascinated by it. Often, there are large…

5 Tips for Macro Shooting
I ❤️ Macro. Most of you know that I love macro photography. True macro photography is the art of photographing a subject so that the resulting image is larger than life size – it magnifies the subject. This spider is approximately 5mm long which google tells me is 13/64ths of an inch. In the photo,…

Brisbane is a beautiful, laid back, comfortable city. We were at the end of Winter when I took thee shots and the temperatures ranged between 12 and 27 degrees Celsius this week. Fabulous. A couple of weekends ago, two of my best friends and I went out for the day. We had a loose plan of having…
