Five Minutes with Pink Gin – RegularRandom
Edit: actually this is a 10 minute shoot! I got carried away. I might have had a sip before I started! Yesterday, June 9, was World Gin Day! I also discovered that it was World Rosé Day, so I decided to buy some Pink Gin. I made a delicious cocktail (recipe below) and went on…

Five Minutes with a Disbud – RegularRandom
I love to bump up the exposure on shots with a white background, and this time I couldn’t help but play with some Lightroom presets in editing. Would you like to join in the RegularRandom event? Here’s how: choose a subject or a scene spend five minutes photographing it – no more! try to not…

Five Minutes on Mother’s Day – RegularRandom
Happy Mother’s Day to my mama and all the other mamas out there. I picked up this gorgeous cookie on Friday and have been saving it for a pretty little Mother’s Day shoot. These were all shot in five minutes, but yes I cheated a little and took the cookie off the plate. Second set…

Five Minutes with a Strange Pink Flower – RegularRandom
While waiting for a takeaway smoothie at a little cafe in Auckland (The Botanist), we browsed their little attached florist. I was quite fascinated by this weird pink flower. I think it’s some kind of Protea, but I’m sure someone can correct me here. Anyway, five minutes of shooting makes for a good RegularRandom –…

Five Minutes with a Bunny Cake – RegularRandom
Last weekend, my best friend and I went to New Zealand for a long weekend. We went to see Ed Sheeran, but also to get away and have a little break. We haven’t caught up in a long time, since she lives in Brisbane and I live in Melbourne (hence seeing Ed in Auckland!). We…

Five Minutes with an Air Plant – RegularRandom
Many of you know that I like to pick up a bunch of flowers each weekend and, if I get time, photograph them, or use them in styled photos. This weekend was the first one in a few where I’ve had time to pick up a bunch. At the florist, they had these adorable little…

Five Minutes with Skittles & Julz – RegularRandom
The first little station Julie had set up for us was a melting skittles station. We set them up in a circle on a plate and hit them with hot water. Here are the 5 minutes that followed. Make sure you check out Julie’s shots of the same setup here. And afterwards, of course, I…

Five Minutes with Angel Cake – a Different Take (cheat) on RegularRandom
This week a slightly different take on the five minutes. I know I usually say “don’t mess with the scene” but how could I not? It has been an insanely (but unfortunately not unusually) busy week at work this week and I felt like a recovery day was required. It was a hot day today…

Early Morning in Brunswick East
Late nights and early mornings. They don’t really go together, do they? Exhausted from too many hours at work, not enough sleep, too much chatter in the brain, I still wake up far too early each morning. But sometimes, there’s a nice reward. These shots are from 6:15am on Wednesday this week, from my balcony…

Seven Minutes with a Little Feather – RegularRandom
Hello and welcome to Regular Random! Sorry I’ve been away for some time, I’ll give you a little update at the bottom of this post 🙂 For now though, let’s dive into the beauty of this gorgeous little feather. It measure 7cm from tip to tip. I was on my way to my car after…

Five Minutes with Hydrangea – RegularRandom
Oh my! I went to buy a bunch of flowers for home. I love to have fresh flowers and I always end up shooting them. I wasn’t sure what I would find and I didn’t have anything particular in mind, except of course, you know I love pink. They had these gorgeous hydrangeas for just…

Five Minutes with an Orchid – RegularRandom
This gorgeous white moth orchid (Phalaenopsis) was a post-surgery gift from some of my close friends at work. It is so pretty, I love it. It sits on the side table by my couch and its the first thing you see when you walk into my apartment. So, it seems appropriate for a RegularRandom treatment…
