Looking at architecture – Getting back into the city
It has been a very long time since I was in the city, but today I finally went back in. I think the last time I went into the CBD of Melbourne was before the […]
Knitting for Knit One Give One, a charity
I mentioned recently that I had got back into knitting and that I wanted to knit for a charity. So I found one, Knit One Give One, or kogo for short.
Getting something other than flowers
In the last post, I think it was, I showed you a heap of photos that I took with the Lensbaby Composer Pro II and the Sweet 35 optics on my Fujifilm X-S10.
Day 3 was all about the flowers and my Lensbaby
Finally, I got around to concentrating on taking photos of just the flowers. If you can believe that. Though, that isn’t really true either, but I did go there with that intention.
Day 1 – Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show
Today was the day, the first one actually for the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. The first time in three years as the last two were cancelled because of COVID.
MIFGS is starting next week
The Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show starts next week and I can’t wait.
Happy Valentine’s Day
This is not a holiday I would normally celebrate or do anything for, but this year I couldn’t resist.
We had an earthquake

Docklands x 1
Just one image again. Taken last weekend when the water at Docklands was still and looked like a mirror. The image was processed in Lightroom.

Recently I was able to get a lot of Formatt Hitech gear that meant I could teach people how to do long exposure photography. I had found that many people who were doing the one […]
Instagram this week in October
It is almost a year since I got serious about Instagram and in that time I have gone from about 340 followers to 10.3 thousand. I like to think that is a great achievement, though […]
Doing things for fun
A couple of weeks ago I was invited by a group to go into the city and do some night photography in the lanes. A couple of the guys brought along some steel wool to […]
Photos from the Past
One of the things that I have really been enjoying has been looking at photos that were done a while ago. Being fairly new to Instagram, or should I say being more serious about it […]
Lighting Up Flinders Street Station
Sometimes you really are in the right place at the right time. It doesn’t happen to me very often, but last night, well, I was so happy to see the light that was shining onto […]
Seafarers Bridge over the Yarra
In Melbourne there are many bridges that allow you to cross the river. Some are for cars, and many for pedestrians and bicycles. One bridge that is one of my favourites to photograph is the […]
Silent City
In the last couple of weeks I seem to be spending more and more of my time in the city taking photos. I really want to try some new things, and I know the images […]
Empty Alley in Melbourne
The other morning I went for a walk around part of the city I haven’t really explored before. I was looking for a good empty alley in the city. I saw lots of empty lanes and […]
Long Exposures
Long exposure photography is very popular now. I really enjoy doing them and experimenting to see what I can do. I recently got a new filter, the Formatt Hitech 10 stop filter. I already had […]
Melbourne Skyline
When I was in New York I had some good opportunities to take photos of the Manhattan skyline and when I got home I processed them. Some of them are among my favourite photos that […]
