A Little Drama
I have recently posted a number of photos with white negative space, I really enjoy that type of photography. However lately, I’ve wanted to experiment with dark negative space instead.

Dancing in the Dark
My friend invited us to watch her Spotlight Dance at the Dance Studio where she studies ballroom. I took my camera along (of course!) and tried my hand at shooting fast-moving subjects in very low light and with a flash. I used the flash that came with my camera – a hot shoe popup. It…

Secret
She leaned against the railing and stared out at the darkness of the ocean, the waves whipping against the side of the ship, foaming the water so that she could almost make out stripes of white, turquoise and deep, deep blue.

Getting Perspective (Eclectic Corner #12.3)
Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different… – CS Lewis. For Justine’s Eclectic Corner #12 – Perspective (Quote). Why this quote? If we just keep going through life, doing the things we do day by day, we don’t really notice how we are growing…

Rainbow Roses
I was at a florist’s recently and she pointed out her “Rainbow Roses”. These stunning roses are created in Colombia. In fact, she told me that most large roses for sale in bouquets in Australia are flown in weekly from Colombia ! These rainbow roses are made by splitting the stems and placing each part into…

Anger
The door slammed and with the sound, another piece of her heart shattered. It had been this way for weeks. He had always had a temper, but it had been playful, easily ignored and she hadn’t thought anything of it. Until recently. Now his mood had changed. His temper was dark and brooding, always festering. She…
