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…

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…

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…

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

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…

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

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…
