Lens-Artists Challenge #364 – Quiet moment
This week Ritva is asking us “Where is your serene sanctuary?” for this challenge called Quiet moment. I had to keep asking myself that. Is there a place where I feel that serenity or a […]
Floral Friday – More flowers appearing in the garden
I’m back, I think. The wedding photos are done, at least the bulk of them. I can’t wait for the couple to see them, but that doesn’t happen until Sunday. I feel like it is […]
Floral Friday – Spring is almost here according to my garden
Each day when I go out into my garden, it seems new things are flowering and new growth is coming out of the ground. It is a tense time as I wait to see what […]
My Lensbaby Lenses and the beauty of them
I found this post in the private section of my blog. I am hoping it isn’t one that I haven’t published before. It was set for 2021, so no idea what has happened with it. […]
Floral Friday – Trying an ON1 preset on some infrared flowers
I thought I might try doing some photos this week using one of the presets I’ve made in ON1 Photo Raw 2025. I don’t think it is lazy, but I like seeing what you end […]
Floral Friday – Finding a different way to show my infrared flower images
I just want to apologise for not being around this week. I have had trouble with Photoshop, and when I asked for help, it almost stopped working completely. The ON1 wouldn’t load or open, so […]
Floral Friday – Revisiting the lilies at a water garden
It has been a few years since I went to the Blue Lotus Water Gardens and I think I have to make an effort to go again. I was planning on going this last summer, […]
Floral Friday – A tribute to the flowers last summer
I’ve made videos before, but it has been a while. Part of that reason is because I lost Camtasia. When I replaced the hard disk in my laptop last year I didn’t save the program. […]
Floral Friday – Trying to do the same thing that I did last week
Last week I used one preset from ON1 Photo Raw 2025 to use on my infrared flowers. I wanted to see if it was possible and what you would get. I did use one of […]
Floral Friday – Using the same on each infrared flower photo
I decided to do something very different for Floral Friday this week. It isn’t anything new to use infrared flowers taken with my infrared camera. It is also nothing new to use ON1 Photo Raw […]
Monochrome Madness #38 – Starting with an H
Well, Sarah, you picked a hard letterfor this theme. The letter H is not easy to do, and I couldn’t get home and house out of my head. As you can see, our host is […]
Floral Friday – Flowers from past seasons Part 1
Though these flowers are not from that long ago, they were taken back at the start of autumn. There isn’t much in the garden now, but I am thankful that I took lots of photos […]
Monochrome Madness – Blasts from the past
As this is a free week I decided to go through my old blog and find some photos from the early years of Monochrome Madness. Hence I bring to you a gallery of photos that […]
Floral Friday – More from the infrared camera in the garden
I suspect the photos today are from one of the first times I photographed my flowers with my infrared camera. It was around the time I started realising how gorgeous the photos were if you […]
Reposting – My Backyard through a Macro
This post was originally done as a Weekend Wandering post back in 2014 on my old blog. It was also one of my first times using a macro lens, can’t believe it is over 10 […]
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 […]
Floral Friday – A tribute to my macro photography in 2024
Today I just wanted to do a quick post and show photos that I took last year. I went through every folder of colour images and picked one from each one, and here are the […]
Floral Friday – Applying my presets to the flowers from my garden
As you may have guessed from the title I am playing around with ON1 Photo RAW 2025 more as I try to figure out how to do my own presets. It is funny how you […]
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 […]
Reposting – Weekend Wanderings: A Close Look at Kinglake National Park
Last week I did a repost from the same area, but this post was done the following week, so I thought it would be good to repost it for you to see. Let’s take a […]
