Helix
I went on a a day trip for work to our nation’s capital last week. The capital city of Australia is Canberra, which is within The Australian Capital Territory, which is then located within the state of New South Wales. It’s about 2 hours drive from Sydney. I flew down from Brisbane, which is…

Image Reboot #1
Welcome to the first instalment of Image Reboot – a monthly feature partnering with Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic, and designed to give you some insight into how I go about editing photos in Lightroom. I am, by no means, an expert and I have taught myself how to use it, which means I am still…

Roses are Red… and Yellow…
When I take a photo, I’ve almost always decided already whether it’s going to be a colour or a monochrome image. I have the luxury of seeing it both ways when I edit them. I love seeing an image come together, the stunning change as it’s converted to crisp clean monochrome… I also enjoy the…

Reaching Up
I have had this asparagus fern since I moved to Brisbane 15 years ago and my mum and dad had it at their place for many years before that. It’s fairly neglected, but seems to thrive. Every couple of years I re-pot it. I want to separate it out into a long line of plants…

Jade Droplets
It’s going to be a rainy Easter this year. In the last 3 days, we’ve had 170mm of rain (6.7 inches) and it is forecasted to continue for the next few days. This morning, I went out in the drizzly rain with my camera to capture some droplets on my jade plant. I’ve had this…

Arterial Canopy
Blood vessels spreading carrying life-giving blood? No, it’s just a tree. It seems I’m quite obsessed with creating silly haikus…. This photo was taken at King’s Park in Perth. I was on an evening photo walk with a group of photography enthusiasts, wandering about the park and learning new techniques. Photo Walks are…

Alien Plant Farm
It’s intriguing what a macro shot can show you. On my recent walk through my garden, I took these two photos. I find them to be quite strange and almost alien-like structures. I think they make great freaky additions to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. This first one is a small pest with a milky sap…

Let it Be?
I took my camera on a stroll through my garden on Sunday with my 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens attached. I came across this little garden pest growing amongst the rocks near my clothesline. As I usually do, I got down low and spent some time shooting this lovely little flower. It’s growing quite wildly…

Birds & Cider
Some birds are not meant to be caged, that’s all.– Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings. – J.M. Barrie, The Little White Bird. These photos are going to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab…

Fly By Night
On a recent flight home from Sydney, I captured a photo of some architecture which I called Curves and Edges. I almost always arrive home from a trip in the late evening, it’s almost always dark when I get to my car. And I’ve always enjoyed seeing the airport lit up at night. Never…

Capturing Raindrops
I did Photo101 in November 2014 and one of the prompts was “Water”. I posted a photo of water dripping from a tap where I caught the individual droplets in the frame. It was quite a popular post, you can see it here. This weekend has been a stormy and rain-filled one here in Brisbane,…

Desolation
Travel for work can be a lonely experience. The airport carpark late on a Friday night describes this feeling very well. I’m adding this photo to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. Please come and take a look at some fabulous photographs from some die-hard photographers. Taken with my Olympus OMD EM5, with the 17mm lens (35mm…
