Lizianthus 1
I picked up a few small bunches of flowers and put them together for a number of photo shoots. I’ve photographed lizzianthus a few times, they are an intriguing flower – the buds are a green-yellow colour but the flowers are a gorgeous soft pink. Here are some shots, more to come. Oh, and the…

Five Minutes on Mother’s Day – RegularRandom
Happy Mother’s Day to my mama and all the other mamas out there. I picked up this gorgeous cookie on Friday and have been saving it for a pretty little Mother’s Day shoot. These were all shot in five minutes, but yes I cheated a little and took the cookie off the plate. Second set…

Five Minutes F(rose)n in Darkness – RegularRandom
Remember when Julie and I shot frozen flowers? One of the flowers was a peach-coloured rose – so pretty. Julie has this great dark corner set up with a scarred old wooden table, so we set up the ice block there to shoot it in the dark, so different to the light and bright shots…

Five Minutes with a Sunset Sky – RegularRandom
I promised I would be back with RegularRandom this week and I almost didn’t make it. As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been sick with the flu (or something) and it has been quite nasty. I’ve spent my whole weekend in a pretty drowsy state. But tonight, I did pop out onto the…

Five Minutes with a Strange Pink Flower – RegularRandom
While waiting for a takeaway smoothie at a little cafe in Auckland (The Botanist), we browsed their little attached florist. I was quite fascinated by this weird pink flower. I think it’s some kind of Protea, but I’m sure someone can correct me here. Anyway, five minutes of shooting makes for a good RegularRandom –…

Hyacinth in Pink
Life is beautiful. Some people just remind you of that more than others. -Erica Bauermeister. Following on from Hyacinth in Fuchsia post earlier this week, here is the pale pink blossom, with the flowers fully open. Again Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro. x desleyjane

F(rose)n in Time (5)
This is my favourite shot(s) from the F(rose)n shoot. And my last share of this gorgeous little experiment. Of course, Julie also froze another flower, so I will share those soon 😊 x desleyjane

Reflections of the Auckland Region
Wherever we found a body of water in Auckland, we saw beautiful reflections of the perfect skies. Such big skies in New Zealand. I often feel that way about Perth as well – I don’t know what makes me think that, but the the sky always seems so big there. Thank you New Zealand for…
