Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
During the pandemic, I did a LOT of demonstrations and presentations for camera clubs, all over the place. It was a great way to connect, make money, and share with a new audience. Now that the lockdowns are over I have been asked to visit some of these rural areas in person. I visited Ballarat…

I picked up a few Easter treats, some props for the studio and some chocolate for me! Some lovely new tableware, plates and bowls, some napery, the apples and the cute little carved bunnies. Makes for a lovely country-styled Easter table, don’t you think? All captured with my Sony a7R3 and my 90mm macro, f/2.8.…

I am always adding to my prop collection, it’s a sad obsession. Occasionally I go through and sell some stuff I never use, but mostly I can’t bear to part with much of it. I decided I need so pretty grey/green cups and things – I mean it is one of the ‘IN’ colours this…

Well, at least a cup of fresh coffee! Just playing around in the studio. I cut these cream bottlebrush from a neighbour’s garden (with permission). So pretty. I have red ones in my garden, must try and capture some of them this year too…my tree didn’t really flower last Autumn, but I am hoping it…

Well, just like that it’s April! I managed to watch a heap of Netflix; Bridgerton, Murder on the Orient Express and Inventing Anna. The silver lining to Covid I guess? Let’s hope April brings more good than bad after a topsy turvy March! Wishing you a creative and inspired weekend… ~ Julz

I was recently playing in the studio with some dried lavender, capturing some pretty still life. The smell was divine. I was shooting with my 90mm macro lens and my Lensbaby Velvet56 mostly at f/2.8 to f/4. As a lot of this was handheld, so much ISO was higher than normal, from 250 to 640.…

I recently went to visit my Aunt Jude, she has the most beautiful roses, and they were all flowering beautifully. Some were just past their prime and still gorgeous. So she cut me some so I could take them home and play with them in the studio…just gorgeous. I have been buying up some new…

So I have shared a few of my red flowers with you, here are the white ones. These were captured in front of my studio window in natural light. I did use a reflector to bounce a little light back onto the flowers and brighten them up a bit ~Julz

Still with my deep red ranunculus, or is it ranunculi? The first two are with studio lights (Godox AD200 speed light) the last is natural window light. Such a dramatic difference isn’t there? Such a pretty triptych. Sorry I really haven’t got too much else to say. Being in constant lockdown makes life a little…
