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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Monochrome Madness – A floral tribute
Welcome back. As we spoke last week we talked about maybe having other hosts for Monochrome Madness. I’ve had a couple of people reach out and we’re trying to work out the details. I think […]
Finally getting this beauty
One of my all-time favourite flowers is a red dahlia. It has dark green foliage and I’ve been trying to get it for my garden for a few years now. However, I always seemed to […]

Monochrome Madness – Passion without the colour
I’m a bit late this week. I have been trying to work out how to use the latest version of Photoshop. Not gonna lie, but I hate it. Is it just me or does it […]
Monchrome Madness – Florals with no colour
This week, again, I’ve gone through my photos to find ones that I have processed before in monochrome. I’m still on the fence about flowers in black and white, but I think it would be […]
What does it mean to be an artist – Is there a job description?
This is a post I’ve been meaning to do for a while. I have been a bit distracted though as since I got better I’ve been trying to spend as much time out in the […]
Flowers on a Friday
I know I usually do a discussion post on Friday’s, but I’ve been busy in the garden. Trying to get heaps of work done out there and in the greenhouse. I must say the fitness […]
Antiquing with ON1 Photo Raw 2023 – macro flowers

Silent Sunday – More of the macro from 2014
Also, some other macro that isn’t flowers. Happy Sunday.
