Grand building in a small town – Empire Hotel Queenstown

Lens-Artists Challenge #309 – Balconies or not
So the Lens-Artists Challenge this week is Balconies and was set by PR from Flights of the Soul. Very interesting challenge and one that I really did think nope I really can’t do this one. […]

Floral Friday – Revisiting some old macro photos
There still aren’t many flowers in my garden so I thought we could just revisit some I’ve shown before. I tried to pick ones that I haven’t shown recently, but you know my brain doesn’t […]
Some unseen photos from my 2017 trip to Tasmania
One thing I’m noticing when I go through my photos looking for ones for challenges and such is that I also have a lot of photos that I have never processed and shown you. The […]

Sunset and sunrise photos from all around Victoria
I had planned to do more photography today then I made a mistake by sitting down with a jigsaw puzzle. I find them so addictive. I have to make sure I have breaks in between […]
Floral Friday – A little colour in the garden
At this time of the year there usually isn’t anything in the garden, but as the years go on there is more and more out there in the dead of winter. I don’t understand why […]

Monochrome Madness – The difference a tripod makes
I thought for Monochrome Madness this week I would pick a heap of photos that were taken using a tripod. That is all of them except the last one. That was just taken handheld, so […]
Getting the best night photos using a tripod
Before we start the post today I want to talk to you about comments on my blog. Now nothing bad. I have noticed that people don’t always get to see their comments here. I don’t […]
When places remind you of movies – Hunger Games

Not yet Silent Sunday but it won’t happen this week.
Normally on Sunday I do my Silent Sunday post, but this week I have to post my Lens-Artists Challenge post. Which is wonderful and I’m excited for you to see it. So today I am […]
Floral Friday – Some of my first photos taken with Lensbaby lenses
I wanted to take photos in my garden for you today, but to be honest there is almost nothing out there. We have been having a really cold winter this year with frost after front. […]
Looking longingly at the City of Melbourne over the Yarra River
The weekend before when I went to the city I did get up very early to go and take photos. So glad I did as it started raining not long after, if I had slept […]
