  • Playing With the Moon.

    I came home late one night last week and noticed the moon looking amazing. The night before that, it was covered in clouds. The first time I tried photographing the moon (here) was the Blood Moon and it was ok, but not great. So I was excited to try again. Then, I decided to play…

  • PhotoRehab Cover Makeover 10

    Number 10 already! This has become a great challenge that I really enjoy and I love seeing the fabulously creative covers each week. Thank you to everyone for joining in and/or commenting, we really appreciate it. So, this week, it’s another classic, Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings. Here is the original cover that Lucile presented.…

  • Fun in the Sun with Dad

    This little girl was so cute, jumping around and creeping up on her Dad. Shortly after these shots were taken, they left and she was riding a little pink tricycle. I’m sorry I didn’t catch a shot of that.  From my recent Changing Seasons shoot at Southbank in Brisbane. These are for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab…

  • Selfie?

    There were so many selfie-takers out and about when I was soutbank recently doing last month’s Changing Seasons shoot. This weary but doting mum was not taking a selfie. She spent about 10 minutes taking photos of her daughter who was trying out a number of poses and facial expressions. Don’t you just love people-watching 😉…

  • PhotoRehab Cover Makeover 9

    George orwell’s nineteen eighty-four Lucile has chosen an absolute classic this week, a book that almost everyone will have heard of – 1984, by George Orwell. Just a little reminder of the story, from the Cliff’s Notes website: In George Orwell’s 1984, Winston Smith wrestles with oppression in Oceania, a place where the Party scrutinizes human…

  • Morning Bugs

    This little bug is about a centimetre long and the little fly is about 3mm long. Taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 with the 60mm macro lens, up close and personal, and edited in Lightroom. Handheld, as usual, and taken when I got up early for my Dewy Gemstones shoot. Is it just me, or…

  • Final Call

    She knew she must look a fright. It was evening and yet she was walking through the airport wishing that her huge sunglasses would cover her entire face. Or at least more of her swollen and flushed cheeks. The tears wouldn’t stop. She’d been fine when they’d said goodbye (well maybe not fine, maybe just…

  • 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 😉…
