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
There are things happening in small towns that are devastating and it is sad to see them declining. Especially so when you know these places were once thriving. Queenstown in Tasmania is one of those […]
Lens-Artist Challenge #307 – Tourist Attractions Near and Far
First, I would like to thank Anne and the rest of the LAPC mob for inviting me to set the challenge for you this week. I have to say I feel very honoured. You have […]
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 […]
Monochrome Madness #12 – Sculptures
This week’s Monochrome Madness theme #12 is being hosted by PR from the blog Flights of the Soul and the theme she has chosen is Sculptures. When I first saw that this was her theme, […]
Taking a morning walk in Queenstown on a chilly morning
It is easy to forget that I went to Tasmania a couple of months ago and that I still have lots of photos that I haven’t done anything with yet. For this trip, we went […]
Getting cameras converted for Infrared photography
Different post this Monday. As the Lens-Artists Challenge mob are taking a break this week. Next week I’m going to be the host for it, so I hope you are looking forward to my post […]
Having high tea at The Waiting Room at Crown
One of the things we wanted to do when we were in the city last weekend was have high tea with my daughters. Also joining us was my eldest daughter’s boyfriend. It was the first […]
Floral Friday – Some real flowers for a change
I was going to do some more AI images, but then I thought, maybe I would just show some real flowers. I like real flowers and I hope you like these.
Using AI on my some images from the city
I want to start this post by saying that I will always let you know if AI creates the images, or if I use it on my own photos. I find the whole process rather […]
Monochrome Madness – Piers into the water
No theme this week, but I have to admit I quite enjoy setting myself a little theme. I was looking through older photos and found these piers. I do think piers are great subjects for […]
Not quite the weekend I was expecting
The weekend was a bit of a bust in the city. It rained nearly all day on Saturday which wasn’t great after a really bad nights sleep. It is hard to be okay, but what […]
Lens-Artists Challenge #306 – Habitat
Habitat, or home really, that is how I look at it. Humans, it would seem, can live anywhere, but animals aren’t always so lucky. Our host this week is Tina from Travels and Trifles and […]
Spending the weekend in the city
This isn’t a post about the weekend, that will come later, but I thought I might share with you how I prepare for a trip like this. I’m only spending two nights in the city […]
Floral Friday – Creating flower landscapes with AI
After yesterday’s post, I thought I might see how Photoshop’s AI would cope with flowers. The results are mixed and I feel like it isn’t as good as yesterday’s results. I was showing Dave, my […]
