Ok, I admit, I made it rain on the poor spider’s home. Not only did I chase it, but I flooded it’s home with water from spray bottle. I couldn’t wait for the real rain to fall, in case the spider’s web disappeared. All I’ve done to the image is brighten it up and place a slight little frame around bottom edge.
More dew drops on the spider’s web. Alas, the dew drops are courtesy of the water spray bottle, a repeat performance of a previous experiment as seen here I couldn’t resist!
Did I mention I have the drawing skills of a 5 year old? / / /
How I wonder what you are… / / a spider’s web all pretty and blue / / full of Christmas wishes just for you / / Can I get any cornier – LOL!!

Inspired to create this from my collaborations with Melissa Vowell.
Collaboration between myself and Dabble (she’s AWESOME) Model: Jasmine This is the fourth in a series between Dabble and I depicting words through photographs. / We wanted to do this in a way that could be silly and fun yet still hold an element of seriousness and hopefully we have portrayed this. / The chosen word for this image is Fear.
A snapshot of the Zig-Zag Railway at Lithgow in NSW. An engineering feat of it’s time, and today, it’s still a marvel to experience – and not just for the train buffs.
It’s resolution time, when the resolutions we make are broken before the end of January. So why not make a wish instead? I wish for steady hands when I take my photos, or a better memory that will remind me to use the tripod… What do you wish for?
Sometimes you only need one wish.
...all the time, wherever you may be, I’m picturing me with you… super macro shot of the tinsiet little weed in my garden, added multiple layers in photoshop including additional image layers to create this final image
Inspired by Tracy Wallace’s image entitled Clumsy Misfortunes I wondered what would become of the girlclown – would she stay with the circus, never getting enough of the crowd applauding her clumsy misfortunes on stage? With Tracy’s permission, I was able to use her image as inspiration for this image – “all grown up”. Tracy’s image is seen here: Image taken with point&shoot canon, a texture layer was created using ink and sponges onto textured paper then scanned via scanner. this was then darkened in PS, more editing including burning and additional image layers used to create this final version.
You know the song . immense field of flowers stretching as far as the eye could see, it was impossible not to step on them
An abandoned Victorian Italianate style house (c.1880-90) in Annandale, an inner city suburb of Sydney. Sitting proudly in a corner position of this hip and happening suburb, it had once been loved and cared for – if you look closely, you can see that one of the previous owners, at some stage, installed an alarm – a measure sure to deter possible intruders. Today, some of the lacework is missing, the fence posts have deteriorated, the concrete probably has cancer, the garden is full of weeds, steps to the front door are missing…will nobody love it anymore?
Country mailboxes, fashioned from everyday objects, in this case an old milk tin, are always an interesting sight. Always located at the furthest point from the homestead the long driveway connecting the two. Location: Jerseyville, NSW, Australia / shutter: 1/160 / AV: f8 / ISO: 80 / FL: 9.5
The inspiration for this image came from the talented Tracy Wallace and her beautiful image Clumsy Misfortune. I wondered what had happened to the clumsy girl-clown as she grew up, and all grown up was created. Now the clumsy girl-clown has retired. She is no longer entertaining the nightly crowds that stream in to the Big Top to watch her perform her amazing super-flying trapeze act. She has bought herself a little cottage, near the sea where the pounding waves crash day and night and roar just like the crowd did when she performed her daily feats for their pleasure. special thanks to Mrs Eileen Kelly for modelling the mary-jane slippers and wearing her bed socks during the day just for me! Thank you! / / Please visit Tracy Wallace’s gallery, her creations are beautiful.
Another example of Painting with Light as found in Peter Zentjens’ journal. Equipment used, included torch with narrow cardboard funnel and layer of tissue paper to diffuse excess light. / time: 15 seconds / Av: f8 / ISO: 80
location: Jerseyville, NSW This area of NSW is dotted with dilapidated old sheds such as this one. They have served their purpose and stand simply as relics of a bygone time.
Sydney Harbour Bridge – a popular and much loved Sydney icon. So totally photogenic that people travel from far and wide to photograph it, to say they’ve seen it, walked on it, climbed it and driven over it. There is a working side to the bridge, too. It took 1400 men to build, 53,000 tonnes of steel, over 6 million hand driven rivets, 272,000 litres of paint just for the first 3 coats alone, it requires constant daily maintenance, it carries hundreds of trains each day, over 150,000 cars daily traverse it’s span and countless commuters, cyclists and tourists walk and cycle along the pedestrian and cycle ways. Celebrating what is still today an engineering feat, this is my tribute to our bridge.
thank you Cordelia for the glorious bunch of gerberas you gave me, rich in colour and absolutely photogenic : ) thank you Dana DiPasquale who posed the question – how do you get reflections in a water drop – the answer for me, would have to be by sheer fluke/luck and 1,000 attempts of which one may show a reflection ; )
