    Amsterdam in Living Colour.

    This city is beautiful. I confess that I’ve used my iPhone a lot for photographs, because it’s so easy. And in bright light, it’s superb. But I never think to share my iPhone photos here, my habit is to only share the Olympus ones. But if I do that, we miss out on the more…

  • Melbourne Graffiti – Brunswick Street, Fitzroy

    Melbourne Graffiti – Brunswick Street, Fitzroy

    We spent some time checking out the street life and street art in Fitzroy last weekend and this is some of what we found. First up, this is Grace cafe, where we had breakfast – I love the contrast of the two walls. Stand at the front and see the serene and angelic faces. Just…

    Five Minutes @ Doughnut Time – RegularRandom

    Sorry I missed RegularRandom last week! I have been working away at a new project and it completely slipped my mind! So a quick summary of what it’s all about: choose an object or scene spend just 5 minutes shooting it, trying to be creative with angles and light and composition post your photos with the…

    Melbourne Streets 17

    I found these flowers on our walk through Albert Park in South Melbourne. I had my 45mm lens on (90mm equivalent). This is a gorgeous portrait lens, and I’ve been trying to use it more in every day photography. You can’t get very close, it’s no good for macro, but it can produce beautiful booked…

    I spotted this Dad and Daughter skateboarding in Albert Park, they were adorable. I can’t decide whether I prefer a landscape or portrait orientation for this shot. Oh, and I couldn’t resist the colour splash 😉 IGers Melbourne April InstaMeet. x desleyjane

    Gritty / Pretty

    I took these two photos in the same street, just a few meters apart, in Sydney, not far from the base of the Sydney Harbour Bridge which I photographed recently. Such a contrast between the dark and the light, the gritty and the pretty. We often see what we want to see.  Shot with my…

    Partners

    For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Partners. This photo was taken in Amsterdam when I visited Lucile on King’s Day. I thought they looked so cool standing there, like models posing for a photo shoot. I love this photo (even though it’s not so sharp) and have never shared it before. I have desaturated…

    iPhriday – Side View Mirror

    I’m cheating this week for iPhriday and sharing a photo that I’ve already shared on Instagram. It’s a shot from my iPhone while sitting in traffic this week. I love the clouds and the graffiti of the bird on the building in front. But what attracted me to taking the shot was the lines in…

    A few more shots from the IGers Melbourne April Instameet features props. I posted a couple of these on Instagram. Note that the girl with the umbrella is not touching the ground in the shot where she is alone. You can see our parachute prop photos here. x desleyjane

    A bit of a departure from the usual Melbourne Streets photos. These were taken at Albert Park Lake in April’s IGers Melbourne Instameet. And a bonus for those of you who remember Lucy: x desleyjane

    Spiral staircase at Albert Park Lake. Taken during the April IGers Melbourne meetup. This was my second meetup with this group. The last one was in the graffiti-laden streets of Carlton and Fitzroy. This one was at Albert Park Lake – a very different location with the lake and lots of lush lawn. It was…
