Just two minutes for this shoot: Would you like to join in the RegularRandom crew? Here’s how: Version 1: choose a subject or a scene spend five minutes photographing it – no more! try to not interfere with the subject, instead see it from many angles, look through something at it, change the light that’s…

Ascension.
I took the Metro to Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and was struck by the immensity of this escalator. I had my iPhone (8 Plus) in my hand so I snapped a quick shot while stepping onto it. Here are a couple of different edits, which is your favourite? You can probably guess mine…. I love the…

Glamour.
Did I say I couldn’t pick a favourite? I lied. This. This is my favourite. So far. But I know what’s coming. x desleyjane

Beautiful Drama.
I love this one as well (honestly, I’m not sure I can pick a favourite). It began to rain lightly while we were photographing the tulips, and the temperature dropped, but it didn’t deter us, we had something new to photograph – capturing those droplets sitting on such vibrant petals. x desleyjane

New Website!
On one of my quiet days while holidaying in Amsterdam, I revamped my other website. I had planned to do this of course, and brought all the photos with me that I needed to add to the site. I use Squarespace, I find it to be a beautiful platform, and I’m now a Squarespace Circle…

Firstly, I used a white placemat, then swapped it for a black one. I have been thinking about adding a…

Floratuin Julianadorp 3
My third collection – you can see that the variety on display was amazing. Some would say that there is too much innovation, when a tulip no longer looks like a tulip, but I do love most of them. x desleyjane

Floratuin Julianadorp 1
On Sunday, we drove from Amsterdam to Julianadorp to see the tulips. It’s a tulip farm, with so many different varieties of tulips on display, in small garden beds, and a big area where you can pick your own tulips to take home. Of course, we could not resist photographing all of the wonderful varieties.…

Ruffled Beauty
I wish I’d made a note of the names of the tulips. Some were very imaginative, and some were perfectly fitting. This one is sublime, is it not? The colours, the vibrancy, the ruffles, and the dance of petals. Love 💕 x desleyjane

Editing Tulip Photos
Those who know me, know that I love to edit photos, to see how much I can get out of an image, what details I can find, how I can make it even prettier than reality. It’s an art, and a science, and it’s also a source of relaxation for me. Here are some edits…

Five Minutes with a Tulip – RegularRandom
If you aren’t connected with me on social media, you may not know that I am currently vacationing in Amsterdam. What a glorious city. I was here four years ago (to the day actually) and have come back for a two week visit. Yesterday, we went to a tulip farm and of course I brought…

The last set of shots with the Raspberry Cronut.
So I should tell you about this cronut – the icing is raspberry and the filling is a passionfruit custard. And the top has little chunks of crushed meringue and freeze-dried raspberries. x desleyjane
