Wanderlust

Well this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge seems made for me. I am, after all, a frequent flying scientist.  We are asked to share a photo that represents travel and wanderlust. There are two things that I do on planes – one is write and the other is take photos of the clouds. There is something…

Bottles and Bubbles

Another set of shots from our Still Life Workshop at Julie Powell‘s studio. This was fun. We shot on a mirror with a white canvas behind the mirror. It’s a bit of work to get all the parts in the right place at the right time, but the payoff is awesome. I brought out the chemistry…

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…

Curves Of Sydney

This prompt came out while I was in Sydney, so how could I resist the stunning and statuesque curves of the Sydney Harbour Bridge? It seems to appear out of nowhere when you’re driving through the city. You catch glimpses of it all the time. I’m always excited to drive over it, as usually I…

Pure

As soon as I saw the word Pure for this week’s Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge, I immediately thought of the pure white snow and clean landscapes of Queenstown in New Zealand. This was the first time I’d properly seen snow and played around in it. My friends and I had a great time throwing…

Admiration

I’ve met a very cool group of people via the IGers Melbourne hashtag. Each month, we all get together to photographically investigate a particular area of the city. In April, the meetup coincided with Earth Day and became a world-wide InstaMeet (WWIM), where people from all over the world shared their images with the same…

Abstract

I made a batch of pumpkin soup recently and froze it in little Tupperware containers. When I took one out after work one evening, I was fascinated by the pattern of ice that had formed on the lid, so of course I grabbed my camera and started snapping. For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge…

One Love

The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge this week is One Love. I’m taking this opportunity to show you something that I love doing, which is layering lettering over photos. Right now, I’m just using apps on my iPhone, but I will be doing a Photoshop course soon and I also want to do calligraphy and hand-lettering…

Harmony

For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge :  Harmony. “The combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce chords having a pleasing effect; the quality of forming a pleasing and consistent whole.”     From a work trip to Heron Island in Central Queensland – no phone, no internet, no locks on doors. Just the…

State of Mind

I love waking up in time to see this glorious sight. I love the beams of light shining out through the clouds. I love that every day starts with the potential for greatness. And then the day begins. What will you make of it?   For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge, Ben says: Every photo…

Time Passes

For The Daily Posts’s Weekly Photo Challenge : Time.   This photo was taken in Mackay, very near my home town – we were driving for dinner with extended family. I like this shot – I took it from the car window (Dad was driving😋) with my Olympus OMD EM5 – such a fleeting moment…
