I recently bought and then was given some ranunculus, gorgeous flower which I don’t see locally very often. I have two other posts featuring them in full, but I could not resist doing a Regular Random in macro, add some water drops and voila….perfection! Would you like to join in the RegularRandom crew?

My Bearded iris is just starting to bloom, so one sunny Saturday morning I went out with my camera, the pup Dexter decided to follow along and see what I was doing. I managed to capture a few images before he decided to start sniffing the blooms…and then bite it! Honestly, silly dog. So my…

I write a little while ago about how I played with some fractal prism filters at the Melbourne butterfly house, how I loved them so much I bought my own set. Between stuff and life and being sick, I had not had a chance to play with them until now. So I spent a simple…

I recently did a quick mini photoshoot, normally I work my way through an image and only show the end result, but this day I decided to show from the initial photo, through the end and final three photos. The plate and the main cherries did not move, just me the camera, the linen, the…

I love experimenting with light in my photography, but up until recently, I have never really played with prisms, adding another element to my macro photography.
