Photo101(17): Glassy Delights.
My header image is the first thing I thought of for today’s topic. It’s from my recent holiday in Queenstown, New Zealand, which I feel like I’ve talked about constantly here :). I woke up earlier than the rest of my travelling companions each day. We were staying in a large house, right by the…

Photo101(16): Treasures of Silver & Gold.
I’ve never thought of my jewellery as trophies. I’m here to take care of it, and to love it, for we are only temporary custodians of beauty. – Elizabeth Taylor. I treasure many things, mainly my family, my friends and my little puppy Gidget. Lesser treasures are those shown here. I am not surrounded by Elizabeth Taylor…

Photo101Weekend3: Hone Your Eye?
I’m not sure I’ve really addressed the brief today, but I wanted to try my hand at photographing food with a little more panache than usual. I’d like to have a go at styling and setting up a food “scene” sometime soon, but today I concentrated on the food itself, the composition and cropping to…

Photo101(15): Landscapes of Queenstown.
I wasn’t able to get out and about today to take some photos for Landscapes. However, I had a fantastic holiday recently in New Zealand – we went to the snow in Queenstown. It was my first time in this beautiful city and I absolutely loved it. I went with two very good and lovely friends…

Photo101(14): Swarms of Red, White and Blue.
I was having a lovely coffee break looking through all the posts from today and came across today’s brief. I wondered what on earth I would use when I looked up and saw the beautiful pattern of clouds all around me. I am at QEII Hospital today, visiting customers and talking about molecular biology, genetics…

Photo101(13): Moments in Time.
I knew what I wanted to do for this post as soon as I read the brief. These images are from some time spent in the South Pacific last year. I cannot tell you how lovely these people are, so compassionate and accommodating and welcoming. The children were amazing, this is work for them in…

Photo101(12): Architecture in Light.
A very long day today as it was a travelling day. Did you know that the flight from Brisbane to Perth takes 5 hours and 45 minutes? Follow that with another 5 hours of work. By the time I was able to pick up my camera, it was raining and the sun had set. That…

Photo101(11): Pop of Colour [A Study in Pink].
I wish today’s theme had come before I started photographing my gnomes yesterday, they seem like the ultimate “pop of colour”. I had the theme in the back of mind all day and decided to do a study in pink (thank you, Sherlock). Those who know me well, know that I love pink, I have…

Photo101Weekend2: Play With Light.
What a blistering hot weekend! One of the hottest on record, it was 38C yesterday and 42C today (that’s 100F and 107F)! I haven’t experienced temperatures anywhere near that in a long time. Consequently, our light is bright all day. I mostly followed the brief and took photos of a single location over the day –…

Photo101(10): Mystery on the Mountain.
Day 10 already?! Wow. I love looking through all the posts and seeing how confident everyone is becoming, how many of us are posting multiple pics sometimes with stories attached. We had a public holiday here in Brisbane today for the first day of the G20 Summit. I decided to head up to Mount Tamborine…

Photo101(9): Warmth of the Aussie Sun.
In Australia, we don’t often need to “get warm” or “find warmth”. It’s coming to the end of Spring and the beginning of Summer so we get to bask in the warmth of the sun by the pool. Today I’m featuring Gidget’s best friend Olly (Gidget is my 6kg Maltese x Lhasa Apso and Olly…

Photo101(8): Natural World of Wonder.
Nature really is a wonderful thing. For someone who loves photography, it’s something that is always available. We can go for a wander and find something in nature that is worthy of a shot. We often find shapes and lines in nature and that was what I set out to do today. By chance, I…
