  • WOW. A whole year!

    So it’s been over one year since I registered my WordPress site. And what a year it is has been. I started my blog predominantly as a way to share my photography and find other photographers like me who are keen to learn and share. I was very lucky to find the Photography 101 Course…

  • iPhriday – Homemade Nutella?

    I’m joining Lisa at GrayDaysandCoffee and posting an iPhone photo on a Friday. I think it’s a neat idea and I will try to post each week. If you want to join in (any phone of course), just use the tag iPhriday. Here’s a shot of some homemade Nutella made by Monsieur Truffle at a cafe called…

  • Duotone, and of course one of them is pink!

    From my last Changing Seasons shoot. I love this walkway (called The Arbour) and I love the gorgeous pink bougainvillea covering it. In Lightroom, I reduced the saturation on all the colours except Purple and Magenta. There were a couple of people in the background also wearing some pinky colours, so I used the brush…

  • Dahlias are my favourite flower.

    It’s official. I love these flowers. These miniatures below really take my fancy and these are planted in pots and in my garden under the shade of a bottlebrush tree.  I also took some progressive growth photos of my white dahlia here. For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic and for Nalinki at Angles and Views Flowers Over…

  • Beautiful Brisbane – November 2015 (monochrome)

    Here is another gallery for the Cardinal’s Changing Seasons Event. My first gallery of colour shots can be seen here. There’s something about the black and white ones that really appeals to me, particularly shots with people and shots at night. As usual, Olympus OMD EM5 with 17mm or 60mm lens, handheld, wandering my city,…

  • After the Storm

    As some of you know, we’ve had a very stormy few weeks in Brisbane. I managed to be out in one recently and was able to capture some great storm clouds coming over the city – you can see them here if you missed them. The days are hot, in the mid-30s (Celsius) and become…

  • Beautiful Brisbane – November 2015 (Colour)

    Well I managed to do another shoot for Cardinal Guzman’s The Changing Seasons event.  I have a feeling I might just make it to December as well 😉 Actually for this one I cheated and took these shots on October 31st. We are in Spring right now and I took these photos on a Saturday evening…

  • Treat not Trick

    For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Treat! It’s always a treat to go out for drinks, dinner, catch ups with friends. I caught this guy hard at work while I was sipping on my Grenache.     I think he was mixing my friend’s Candied Cuban: x desleyjane

  • In The Pink

    For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. Because everybody needs a little pink in their life. x desleyjane

  • #QLDstorms

    We Queenslanders are quite used to crazy storms popping up out of nowhere and we’ve become quite good at predicting when a storm is going to happen. They can  be quite destructive so we have to be careful to keep safe. I think sometimes we get a little blasé about it, which can be dangerous.…

  • The Yellow (and Pink) Rose of Brisbane

    A little while ago, I posted this photo amongst my garden shoot: It was quite a popular photo, so the following weekend, I went and photographed some more buds on the same rosebush. This rose is beautifully complex. It starts as a yellow bud and then opens with pink tips on the petal. As it…
