A Yellow Flower today

Photographing flowers at the Blue Lotus Water Gardens
Last weekend I had an opportunity to go to the Blue Lotus Water Gardens at Yarra Junction and enjoyed photographing flowers there. It is a garden full of waterlilies, and there are a lot. It is […]
Floral Friday: Flowers in the Rain
A couple of weeks ago I was at Alowyn Gardens taking photos of the flowers before and after the rain. Water drops on flowers are fantastic, they really bring out the colours of the flowers.
Floral Friday: Rain on Flowers
It is wet in Melbourne, really wet. The forecast is for heavy rain over the next few days, flash flooding and more flooding. I’ve never seen anything like it before. I mean the way we […]

Macro Photography from the Beginning
There are all these articles that were written when I was doing the Dynamic Range Magazine, and it seems like such a waste that they were written and will never be seen again. I thought […]

Have I told you about the new phone lenses that I got from Struman Optics?

Floral Friday – A rain soaked Daisy
It has been raining here quite a bit and the flowers in the garden are suffering from it a bit. They seem a bit soaked, or drenched, not sure. It is also nice to see […]
Floral Friday – Spring approaches
It is great going out to the garden now, I can see new flowers all the time. Spring is approaching, and quickly. The biggest problem is the wind, the gale forces that we keep getting, […]
