Deconstructed Flower – 1
I really want to first off mention this wonderful post from my dear Lucile in Amsterdam. She has sent me some wonderful wishes for my day today. I’ve mentioned that I recently attended a Still Life Workshop with Julie Powell in her fabulous studio. One of the things Julz wanted to do was to slice up…

Morning Light
The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Morning. Of course, this is not my usual morning, I wish I was that organised. This is from a still life workshop, hosted by the lovely Julz (Julie Powell). We had a fantastic day, with many more photos to come! And inspired by my blogging friend Susan Rushton, who posted…

iPhriday – Keeping the Colour
Hello everyone! I feel like I have been away for so long! I have been super busy with work and also sick – not sure what’s wrong, we’re looking into it. But I missed you guys and thought I would share this photo with you – I snapped it outside the doctor’s office yesterday. Given…

Macro Garden Series – 21
I can tell you right now that my Dad would be horrified that these were planted in the botanical gardens. Lantana is a nasty weed on sugar cane farms. I still love the delicate little flower heads and the wonderful colours. Shot at the Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Olympus OMD EM5, 60m macro. x desleyjane …

Macro Garden Series – 20
Judging by the leaves and the colour of the flowers, I’m guessing this is some kind of daisy?? I really like the tightly compacted heads, they almost look like plastic. Shot at the Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Olympus OMD EM5, 60m macro. x desleyjane

Macro Garden Series – 19
I would usually post a fern frond in black and white, but the colours in this one were so lovely, I had to keep it in colour. Shot at Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro. x desleyjane

Instagram – My Week and Tips
This week (last week) started with me in Mackay, visiting with my family (mum, dad and little brother). Towards the end of the trip, we decided to take a drive to our home town of Sarina – a small sugar cane farming town. I had spent some time with relatives talking about the old days…

Melbourne Streets 17
I found these flowers on our walk through Albert Park in South Melbourne. I had my 45mm lens on (90mm equivalent). This is a gorgeous portrait lens, and I’ve been trying to use it more in every day photography. You can’t get very close, it’s no good for macro, but it can produce beautiful booked…

Handbag Product Shoot – Macro Detail
I purchased a new handbag a few weeks ago. Actually, I’ve bought three new handbags in the last couple of months. Shocking, I know 😉 This most recent bag was one I picked up at my local markets. I had a discussion with the stall owner about photography and as some of you may remember,…

Story in the Woods
She trudged along behind him, sulking while he whistled his way through the woods. She didn’t want to be here, she hated the outdoors. Let’s spend the day together, he’d said. Of course she’d assumed they would have a long leisurely brunch at her favorite cafe, take a walk through the shopping district so she…

Macro Garden Series – 18
A departure from the pretty pinks. I like the textures in these remnants of flowers, with the delicate web on the second one. Shot at Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Olympus OMD EM5, 60mm macro. x desleyjane

The Lines in the Light
I was struck by this scene, as we walked beneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The sky was completely grey and this beautiful fence stretched out along the path. I deliberately took the photo with the aperture wide open, so that the shot was slightly overexposed. Then, when editing in Lightroom, I bumped the exposure up…
