    Five Minutes with my SMAAK Handbag – Regular Random

    While I was in Amsterdam, I spent a couple of hours wondering around the city on my own, and discovered a wonderful handbag store called Smaak Amsterdam and immediately fell in love with about 5 different bags. I was particularly drawn to the yellow bags, although the pink and they grey bags were also fabulous.…

    The Flowers of Brunswick East (19)

    This tree was so pretty and creating its own shade in the morning light. I think it was well suited to both colour and monochrome shots. Shot with my Olympus OMD EM5 with 60mm macro, hand held, morning light, all shots are different, even though those last two look identical! This is one of my…

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…

    Taking Macro to the Next Level

    Sometimes my job is a lot of fun. Last week, we had a big trade display at a conference here in Melbourne. I got to play with a bunch of toys, and learn from some of our suppliers visiting from Japan and The Netherlands. You know how much I love macro photography, right? I was…

  • Photo101(19): Double on the Double.

    I could not wait to finish work today so I could get into this shoot. Wandering around the house, I found a lot of doubles. My computer sits on the second shelf of an open bookcase in my living room. On the top shelf are these two cocktail shakers. I don’t think I’ve ever used…

Consequently, our light is bright all day. I mostly followed the brief and took photos of a single location over the day –…
