  • A Housewarming Gift

    A Housewarming Gift

    I live in Melbourne, almost 2,000km from Brisbane, where I lived before. When I was looking for somewhere to live, it was difficult to do so from Brisbane. Online tools are very useful, but it’s just not the same as seeing the apartment in the flesh. Once I had found a place I liked (based…

  • Angles of Pink

    Angles of Pink

    I’ve been asked by a couple of people how I get this very white background in my photos so I’ve written a tutorial on this, which you can find at Image Reboot #7. This is one of the buds I picked for my Trio post for the DP Weekly Photo Challenge. I had it in…

  • Transition in Pink

    Transition in Pink

    Someone asked me today why I have pink hair (yes I have pink hair). It was a more difficult question than I thought. Why DO I have pink hair? I was born with fairly average light brown hair. I have had some form of blonde in my hair for about ten years now and I…

  • Bye Biscus. I’ll miss ya!

    Bye Biscus. I’ll miss ya!

    I posted photographs of a random hibiscus flower last week. It fell off the table and was investigated by Gidget and then I promptly forgot about the physical flower while I spent my time editing the photos. Today (almost a week later), I happened to find it under my outdoor dining table, so I picked…

  • 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…

  • Image Reboot #6

    You may have heard that Desley has been busy preparing her next move to Melbourne, and for that she had to reduce her blogging activities. So, please bear with me, as I am hosting the sixth installment of our Image Reboot – a partnership between Desley’s Musings of a Frequent Flying Scientist, with yours truly…

  • Image Reboot #5

    Welcome to the fifth instalment of our Image Reboot – in partnership with Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. You can find the previous ones by searching for #imagereboot in the Reader. As enthusiastic photography enthusiasts, we wanted to include some editing techniques here – I installed Lightroom about a year ago and have taught myself the basics of…

  • Perfect in Pink

    Pink isn’t just a colour, it’s an attitude.  – Miley Cyrus I have some creeping roses outside my front window and I love to photograph them. I’ve left them alone for quite a few weeks as it’s been a bit cold, but I recently went out for a challenge to get some macro shots. I…

  • Doors (WPC)

    This weekly photo challenge asks us to show Doors. The pink door above and below is my own front door, which I’ve posted about before here. Here is a little gallery of doors, I do hope you enjoy. I’m also submitting these to Lucile’s Photo Rehab Clinic. Happy weekend everybody! x desleyjane

  • Strawberries and Cream Cake (TeaTime#11)

    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…

  • A Letter in Pink

    Rounding the corner, all I could think about was getting home to a glass of wine and a hot shower. I was reaching for my phone to check the time, when my foot landed on something hard and my ankle rolled out. Down I went in an ungraceful collapse, my phone skittering away and my hands…
