Melbourne Streets 1
I joined in the IG’ers Melbourne meetup this month – an Instagram group which hosts photo walks in your city. It was a great day walking the streets of Fitzroy and Carlton in Melbourne city. I wanted to take shots that were a little different, so I popped the 60mm macro lens on and approached…

Macro Garden Series – 2
These are two different shots, not the same shot edited differently. I love how the sunlight hits the yellow of the plant, and the darkness of the background. Taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm (120mm equivalent) macro lens at the Wilson Botanic Park. x desleyjane

Only Bright Sparks Need Apply
This charming set of stools stood waiting outside a cafe in Rathdowne Village, Melbourne. I thought they made a lovely and bold statement, even though it seemed weird that there were no tables to go with the chairs. For some reason, I thought of a line of nervous youngsters sitting here, toes tapping, nails bitten,…

More Bee Photos
The title says it all really. I love photographing bees. Although the dead ones are much better behaved 😜 Technically this should be part of my Macro Garden Series, but it’s bees, so…. I’m also linking it here to Jude’s March Garden Challenge, where she’s looking for wildlife in the garden. Take a look at…

Macro Garden Series – 1
My friend Julie Powell (Photographer and Graphic Designer) invited me to join her photography excursion at the Wilson Botanic Park in Berwick (about 40km outside the city of Melbourne, at the foot of the Dandenong mountains). It’s a beautiful park and I had a great time immersing myself in all things macro. Actually, I didn’t…

Superstition – Scientist or Mouse?
I bought this umbrella recently. Melbourne is a place where you often need an umbrella – it pays to carry one with you some days. Just a few days ago, I left mine in my car and consequently trudged back to my car after work in the rain, getting drenched in the process. But I…

One Love
The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge this week is One Love. I’m taking this opportunity to show you something that I love doing, which is layering lettering over photos. Right now, I’m just using apps on my iPhone, but I will be doing a Photoshop course soon and I also want to do calligraphy and hand-lettering…

Favourite Things – Fragrance
I have started photographing some of my favourite things in an effort to practice macro photography and also to experiment with new backgrounds and staging. Last week was my new backpack. This is my favourite perfume at the moment. It’s Costume International‘s Scent Intense. It is a dark and full fragrance, which I’ve just learned…

Harmony
For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge : Harmony. “The combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce chords having a pleasing effect; the quality of forming a pleasing and consistent whole.” From a work trip to Heron Island in Central Queensland – no phone, no internet, no locks on doors. Just the…

A Few Tasks Completed
There’s so much to be done when you move interstate. So much paperwork, so many phone calls, online forms… It’s all necessary but finding the motivation to get it done is not so easy. But finally, I’ve done the major things: Paid off my car loan – woo hoo!! made an appointment for getting my…

Plant in the Park
I finally decided to take my camera with me to the park tonight and pottered around in amongst the trees and took some shots of this lovely plant. As usual I used my Olympus OMD EM5. I went out only with my 45mm (f/1.8, 90mm equivalent) lens with me. It’s not an everyday lens, but…
