Image Reboot #3
Welcome again to Image Reboot, a joint feature between Lucile (bridging lacunas) and myself (musings of a frequent flying scientist). Lucile asked me if I would write a monthly feature outlining what I’ve learnt about editing my photographs which I was honoured to do. I use LightRoom 5, I need to upgrade to version 6…

Anger
The door slammed and with the sound, another piece of her heart shattered. It had been this way for weeks. He had always had a temper, but it had been playful, easily ignored and she hadn’t thought anything of it. Until recently. Now his mood had changed. His temper was dark and brooding, always festering. She…

Perspective Matters (Eclectic Corner #12.2)
It’s all about how You see the world, whether up Or down, it matters… For Justine’s Eclectic Corner #12 – Perspective Written. Justine gave us free reign to write whatever we wish, so I went with a teeny tiny haiku. And this photo is going into Lucile’s Photo 101 Rehab Clinic, it joins the photos…

Senior Video Blogger
I took this photo for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab clinic. I was shooting the sunset over Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. It was pretty quiet, just a few people watching the sunset. Just as the light was fading, a busload of senior citizens arrived and they all came over to check out the sunset.…

Pop Art Cactus
When I was out doing Gidget’s Photo Shoot in my garden, I took a few shots of some potted cactus and decided to have a little play with them in LightRoom. In the next ImageReboot post, I will be talking about White Balance for the first time, and I’ve spent quite a bit of time…

Gidget’s Photo Shoot (Tech of the Month)
These photos are for the Tech of the Month: Focus on Animals event, hosted by PerelinColours and Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. With this month focussed on animals, who don’t often sit still, the prompt is to focus on speed and to therefore avoid blurry shots of animals in motion. My favourite animal, is of course…

Vivid Sydney
I posted recently some shots of sunset over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. After the sun had set, I left that location and decided to try another spot that my friend at work had suggested – Milson’s Point. On the way there, I drove past a stunning view so I pulled into a serendipitous carpark…

This month marks the one-year anniversary of AB Friday and the 6 months anniversary of One Photo Focus – so congrats to Stacy! This month she is providing the photo for…

What’s Your Perspective? (Eclectic Corner #12.1)

EDIT – I just found out about the roller coaster accident in the UK. My heart goes out to those injured. X Submitted to Justine’s Eclectic Corner #12 – Perspective…

Still Alice.
I can feel the dried tears on my face. My eyes are scratchy and my head is clouded. I just watched the movie Still Alice. Julianne Moore plays a 50 year old woman diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s Disease. It was such a beautifully made film and Julianne’s performance was one of the best I’ve…

Sunset in Sydney
When I go to Sydney, I usually catch the last flight home. Mostly because it’s quite a cheap flight and saves the company some money and I also want to stick with my preferred airline. It works out nicely that Sydney city is on my way to the airport so I can stop off and…

Strawberries and Cream Cake (TeaTime#11)
My family visited me today. Dad mowed the lawn while mum and I trimmed the hedge on the driveway and did some tidying in the garden. I made this cake this morning for us to have for afternoon tea and thought that it would make a nice addition to Justine’s Tea Party. It’s a Strawberries and…
