Oil Slicks
Truth will rise above falsehood, as oil above water. -Miguel De Cervantes There are a bunch more photos I’d love to show you, and I probably will over time, but today I wanted to show you the last ones from our Paint in Water shoot. After it was all over, the water was virtually black…

Five Minutes with Angel Cake – a Different Take (cheat) on RegularRandom
This week a slightly different take on the five minutes. I know I usually say “don’t mess with the scene” but how could I not? It has been an insanely (but unfortunately not unusually) busy week at work this week and I felt like a recovery day was required. It was a hot day today…

More Painted Water.
I am fascinated by this paint-in-water shoot. I spent some time editing all the shots and this series is one of my favourites. I can see some of these as backgrounds, as prints on their own – I’d love to see the first one covering a wall. There are quite a few more I want…

Early Morning in Brunswick East
Late nights and early mornings. They don’t really go together, do they? Exhausted from too many hours at work, not enough sleep, too much chatter in the brain, I still wake up far too early each morning. But sometimes, there’s a nice reward. These shots are from 6:15am on Wednesday this week, from my balcony…

More Paint Planets, and Some Volcanoes
Following on from yesterday’s post, we took away the red background and replaced it with a white one. We also mixed our primary(ish) colours, to make green and purple as well. I used my Olympus OMD EM5 as usual for these shots, with the 60mm macro lens – it allowed me to get close and…

Paint Planets 1
After our session with Mixed Fruit on Saturday, Beck and I headed outside. I’d brought three tubes of paint with me – I wanted to try oil paints in water. Beck had a long, tall vase which we could use, so we dived in. We used syringes to squirt the paint into the water. I…

Mixed Fruit
Yesterday, I got together with my friend Beck. She had this great idea for a shoot with fruit, so here’s what we did. We then ventured outside, but that’s a whole new story 🙂 x desleyjane

Five Minutes with Hydrangea – RegularRandom
Oh my! I went to buy a bunch of flowers for home. I love to have fresh flowers and I always end up shooting them. I wasn’t sure what I would find and I didn’t have anything particular in mind, except of course, you know I love pink. They had these gorgeous hydrangeas for just…

Five Minutes with a Rose in Decay – RegularRandom
For those of you who remember my special shoot for a friend’s 30th Wedding Anniversary, this is one of the roses left over from that shoot. I have him the rest of the bunch to give to his wife, but I kept this one since it was already cut. It dried over the Christmas break…

Five Minutes with an Orchid – RegularRandom
This gorgeous white moth orchid (Phalaenopsis) was a post-surgery gift from some of my close friends at work. It is so pretty, I love it. It sits on the side table by my couch and its the first thing you see when you walk into my apartment. So, it seems appropriate for a RegularRandom treatment…

Five Minutes with a Peony in Decay (RegularRandom)
Before Christmas, I had a small bunch of peonies, given to me by a friend after my shoulder surgery. I photographed them recently here and here with a cupcake. I kept one in a small vase on my desk, and gave the rest to a friend at work. The one on my desk had dried…

The Flowers of Brunswick East (36)
I think this is the last set of FoBE flowers that I have uploaded, and I’m not sure if I have anymore! It must be almost time to head back out for more photos! x desleyjane
