Floral Friday – Some flowers from last summer
I found a folder of flower photos that I hadn’t done anything with. They were taken last summer, and I guess I had been taking so many that some were just forgotten about. I am […]
Reimagining an older image using ON1 Photo RAW 2025

Floral Friday – Using presets in ON1 to process some flower photos
Presets, love em, hate em. I don’t know, but I’m starting to realise that they can be good especially if you have a style that you like to apply to all your photos. So my […]
Rejuvenating the One Four Challenge, previous 1 image 4 ways

Past experiments – Trying to antique images

Experimenting with freezing flowers
The other morning when I was taking some photos one of the flowers I was photographing fell off. I thought perhaps this was time to try freezing some flowers to photograph.

The whole garden versus photography thing has been a bit of a battle. Do I just show photography again since I’m getting back into it again, or do I stick with gardening and the house?
Chocolate cake is universal
Everyone has a chocolate cake recipe and it can be just that easy because isn’t it a universal truth that everyone loves chocolate cake? It is also surprising to see how many people whose first […]
Our Daily, sourdough, bread
When I was doing the posts on the sourdough starter I said I would follow up with some on the bread, so our daily bread is all about sourdough.
Floral Friday late but not cancelled
Yes, that’s right Floral Friday is very late, but not cancelled, unlike many other events around Australia at the moment. For me, the worst one is the flower and garden show.
Monochrome Madness – Still Life
Welcome back and happy new year as I start back with some still life for Monochrome Madness. I have had a great break and it is nice to get back into it.
Making Changes as Middle Age sets in
Making changes is something I’m doing a lot right now and part of it could be because middle age sets in, or there could be other reasons, who knows.
Always experimenting
This is something that I find really important and I am always experimenting with different types of photography. Astrophotography is one of them.
Experimenting with a lily

While going through Instagram the other day a photo inspired me to look at my photos of the Flatiron building in New York for Monochrome Wednesday. I found one that I thought might work.
