I promised I would be back with RegularRandom this week and I almost didn’t make it. As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been sick with the flu (or something) and it has been quite nasty. I’ve spent my whole weekend in a pretty drowsy state. But tonight, I did pop out onto the…

Since moving to Melbourne more than two years ago, I’ve yet to find a good spot to capture sunsets. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of great sunset spots, but finding somewhere easy to get to and at the right time of day is difficult. Given where I work though, I might have to…

Just before Christmas, I flew from Melbourne to Mackay to spend Christmas and New Year’s with my family – my Mum, Dad and brother. It’s been a lovely two weeks, just relaxing with family, recuperating my shoulder, visiting with relatives, watching the cricket (20/20 of course!). We have taken a few opportunities to go out…

It’s iPhriday! I’m joining Lisa at Gray Days and Coffee to post a smartphone photo every Friday. Will you join in? I have 2 photos this week, but I promise there’s a good reason. My friend and I were driving to dinner one night this week (he was driving) and we noticed how spectacular the…

While I’ve definitely had victories, I can’t say I’ve really photographed them. This is kind of a silly one, but I love the photos that came out of it. We…

But I think it’s much more than that. Loyalty between loved ones is evident in the way they look at each other, in the…

For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic – swing on by and visit us sometime. These photos were taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 with the 17mm (35mm equivalent) lens. x desleyjane

For Perelin Colours and Lucile’s Tech of the Month: Get out when the light is right. Sunsets happen every day. But they are always different.…

The joys of jet lag. I crashed into bed at 9:30 last night and am wide awake this morning at 3:30am! Hopefully this is the last of it!! Usually, my photos of the sky are taken from within an airplane, but I couldn’t resist these shots from the ground recently here in Brisbane. Taken with…

I could see the sunset in the distance, but it was always obscured by buildings and such, so it was a great REWARD to round the corner and spot this scene. I had to pull into someone’s driveway and jump out of the car with just a couple of minutes of light left, but…

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…
