    Rounded

    I went a bit crazy with this dandelion. It’s quite difficult with them waving around in the breeze but I wanted to get up super close to this one. Imagine if I could cut it and take it home without it falling apart and photograph under controlled conditions?! This was taken from such a weird…

    Actually, more than flowers today! Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro, hand held, low light, screeching shoulder (the parrot was very quiet). x desleyjane

    Another random little collection today. Those yellow ones are super tiny, growing about knee-high, just weeds on the side of the road. They were waving about in the breeze so I just shot them top down. For the full story, go here. x desleyjane

    Busy-ness.

    I happened upon this interesting little plant, perhaps a member of the Callistemon family? Such interesting details in this plant. But then I spotted a busy little bee at work. They aren’t super-sharp shots, I was just at 1/200s, but I like them anyway. Here are a few more shots of the plant, which incidentally…

    I just love this photo, these little buds, mostly not in focus. But the light is pretty, the colour is lovely, the depth of field is pleasant. So tiny and delicate. Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro, handheld, low light. x desleyjane

    I would expect this flower to purple, right? Lavender-coloured lavender, right? Who knew?! x desleyjane

    A very strange plant, this one. I have to call upon my lovely gardening friends to help me out! Actually, I don’t know what most of the flowers I post are… Would you believe I did a Botany class at University? LOL. x desleyjane

  • A Little More Sunflower Magic

    A Little More Sunflower Magic

    As you know, I love macro photography and flowers are my favourite macro subject. So when I had the opportunity to photograph sunflowers for last weekend’s RegularRandom, I made sure to get some close macro shots to share with you. And of courses, I couldn’t help myself, I had to play with the editing a…

    A random little collection today. I didn’t realise I shot the little ant in the trio of blossoms until I was editing. He’s not very sharp I’m afraid… Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro, handheld, low light, needing a nap. x desleyjane

  • Five Minutes with Sunflowers – RegularRandom

    Five Minutes with Sunflowers – RegularRandom

    I spent much longer than five minutes with these beauties, so I’m just sharing a five-minute stint with you in this post. I’ll share some other, more intricate photos in other posts. But for today’s RegularRandom, let’s start with the rules: choose a subject or a scene spend five minutes photographing it – no more!…

    To read the little story about when I collected these shots, please go here. These are incredibly small flowers, about 1cm across.  Have a lovely weekend.  x desleyjane

    Scale

    For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Scale. One of the Art Filters on my Olympus OMD EM5 is a Tilt Shift effect, which creates this intriguing miniature effect – I love it, it’s been ages since I’ve used it. These photos are from 2014. x desleyjane
