So, this is a great challenge. I love challenges that plays to my strengths as I love flowers and I love to photograph them. The Lens-Artist Challenge for this week has been set for us […]
Floral Friday – Summer past has finished
Today I thought we might just look back on some photos taken during the summer when there were lots of flowers in my garden. We are definitely heading into winter now and the garden is […]
Floral Friday – An odd bunch of flowers
I had all good intentions, but it didn’t happen so today here are some older images. Got caught watching Fallout. What an amazing show, have you seen it? Have a good Friday.
Monochrome Madness – From early on
This week for our non theme week I thought I might take a wonder back in time to 2014. I believe Monochrome Madness first started in that year so it has been going on and […]
Floral Friday – A Chrysanthemum kind of day
Did I tell you that I got more chrysanthemums? I wouldn’t say they are my favourite flower, but they are up there near the top. I love so many different flowers. I have to admit […]
Floral Friday – Before the rains came
We have been getting so much rain. Don’t get me wrong I’m happy we are getting it, but it has been hard on the flowers. I know the plants will be loving it, but the […]
Floral Friday – Some of my absolute favourites
For floral Friday this week I thought I would just show you some of my absolute favourite macro flower photos. I take lots of them so it can be hard to pick favourites but every […]
Monochrome Madness #5 – Decay
This week our theme has been set for us by Dawn from The Day After and she has made it DECAY. I think this is a great theme. If you want to know more about […]
Floral Friday – Processing macro flower photographs
I thought I would compare what I could do with some flower images looking at Lightroom and Photoshop. I have to say that I struggle with Lightroom (LR) a bit. There are so many things […]
Floral Friday – Images that made me rethink how I do flowers
I think the first time I went to the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show was in 2015. I think I knew that it would be a great place for macro photography and it has […]
Floral Friday – Some flowers from the garden with the Lensbaby
I’ve been getting out in the garden with various lenses, though the Lensbaby Velvet 56mm has been on my Fujifilm X-T3 for a while now. As you can guess that is what has been used […]
Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show for 2024
The Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show starts next week on Wednesday the 20th of March. I’m not going. I went for many years and always enjoyed it, but the last time I went, 2 […]
Lens-Artists Challenge #290 – Circular Wonders
When I first saw what this challenge it was in the middle of the night. I thought I have nothing circular. Then I thought maybe I won’t be able to do this challenge this time. […]
Floral Friday – Groups with the Lensbaby
I went out the other morning to take photos of the yellow flower below with the Lensbaby Velvet 56 on my Fujifilm X-T3. I purchased three of these flowers last autumn, and they went dormant […]
Looking back at Rippon Lea
It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years since I was last at Rippon Lea. It is a beautiful place to visit and I think I need to go back soon. Rippon […]
Floral Friday – Some of the first Lensbaby photos
These are images from 2016 and they are among some of the first images I ever took with Lensbaby lenses. I didn’t have the velvet, but had some other ones as well. So I’m not […]
Experimenting with some pinholes
Well, only one really. Have you ever tried pinhole photography? I first played around with it over 20 years ago when I was doing a course on photography. The place I was doing the course […]
Silent Sunday – Flowers from the Garden
Whispering here, someone asked about the colour of the turmeric flower, and there is one here in colour.
Monochrome Madness – Unexpected Flower
Hey all, I’m back again. I am trying to work out some problems I’m having with the blog. It seems nothing I post is showing up in the reader. I have no idea why. In […]
