Lucky last sunset from June - the skies were spectacular that month.

Olympus OM-D E-M5 | LUMIX G 20mm II
#landscapephotography #sunset #photography
A darkly contrasting photo of an evening sky. Rich red-orange sits at the horizon, softening briefly through a dusky blue, into a deep and rich indigo towards the top and corners. A sole eucalyptus tree in silhouette takes up the left half of the frame, blending into the hills silhouetted in the background.

A photo of a piece of art by apothecaryartist framed in a light oak frame. Two whales are drawn in dotted ink, sitting in a circle of gold leaf. Some monstera leaves partially obscure the frame.

Misty morning part 3
Because is it even a morning photo series if there isn’t one of the pup?

#landscapephotography #phorography
A scruffy black and white border collie trots though the centre of the frame, headed towards the photographer. The image is moody, with mist obscuring most details beyond the dew-darkened grass.

Misty morning part two
Couldn’t resist as the cows followed me around, and then ran away while playing

Olympus OM-D E-M5 | M Zuiko 14-42mm
#landscapephotography #photography
A photo of a small herd of black cows running away from the camera in the cool light of a misty morning. They are clearly playing, kicking their hind legs out and flicking their tails. The grass is dark but capped with a light frost; the trees to the right form dark silhouettes against the fog.

Misty morning (part one)

Unhappy to have been fixing holes in the fence that morning, but at least I got to take some photos in the fog.

A photo taken of two black cows on a misty winter morning. The shot is framed by a tree; leaves on top, trunk to the left, and shadow deepening the foreground. Not much is visible beyond the cows, who stand out starkly against the thick mist.

Verity Lane Market

A nighttime photo, looking through two large windows into the warmly lit interior. People sit around tables, and food and drink stalls circle the room. LEDs above the window say “VERITY LN MARKET”

Cotton candy sunset part 2

#landscapephotography #sunset #skyscape #photogrophy
The sky at sunset, changing from deep indigo in the top left to delicate pink at the bottom right. Wispy clouds catch the remaining light from the sun, draping a warm pinky-orange through the sky. The horizon line is a silhouette of a hill dotted with trees.

Same spot, different day (pt 1)
June sunsets were good to me

Olympus OM-D E-M5 | LUMIX G 20mm II
#photography #sunset #landscapephotography
A photo of a pink-and-blue sunset. The sky is a dreamy gradient of dusky blue to soft pink by the horizon, with long wispy clouds streaming through in pink touched with orange. The horizon line is a silhouette of a hill spotted by trees.

Best believe I rolled down my car window to get some shots of this sunset

Olympus OM-D E-M5 | LUMIX G 20mm II
#sunset #landscapephotography #photography
A dramatic late sunset of rich oranges and gold, caught on clouds streaming across the sky. A hill dotted with trees is silhouetted against the light, and the deep indigos of the sky itself frame the light.

A brick wall is painted in graffiti, including an ape with a baseball cap. Half the wall is in shade, the other lit by bright sunlight. In the foreground, there is a cream Vespa

Autumn colours

#photography #streetphotography #urbanphotography
A photo down a semi-open alleyway. The walls are pale corrugated iron, and the alley has small bits of roofing which frame it while keeping the space open. The alley itself is filled with textures; pebbled concrete to wooden benches, to plants scaling the sides of the wall, turning orange in the autumn season.

A photo taken at a crossroad in Melbourne, looking diagonally over to a two-story McDonald’s. The first floor is black, and the second cream. It is bordered by trees changing to gold on both sides, and in the foreground, a worker is rushing across the intersection with a slight motion blur.

End of the alley, Naarm/Melbourne

Olympus OM-D E-M5 | LUMIX G 20mm II
#streetphotograhy #urbanphotography #urbangaze #photography
A photo taken looking down a short alley with a dead end. The walls to the left are covered in a bright blue mural; the right are dingy industrial bricks. The day is wet and overcast. At the end there is a colourfully painted food van, matching the blue mural. In front, there is a man in black, crouching down to look at his phone.

#streetphotography #urbanphotography #photography #naarm #melbourne
A photo of a white building lit with a red shopfront, taken from within a shop across the street. This is a busy part of the city, so there is a women walking through the frame, and the end of a dark car is visible. The scene is framed on three sides by silhouettes of a window frame and table, with some blurry shapes still visible.

Silhouettes in the rain at the train station.

I’d shot this with a slower shutter - 1/50s - and wasn’t sure if it had even picked up any of the rain until final edit (and zoom). 1/60 might have been better 🥲

#streetphotography #urbanphotography #photography #naarm #melbourne
A photo taken from across the rail line at a red-brick train station. Two steel rails are visible in front of the short red wall to the platform. Beyond that, on a sheltered ramp also made of red brick, are the silhouettes of two groups of people walking. When people zoom in, they might see long streaks of rain

A happy, old black and white border collie in the afternoon sun. The dog is excitedly looking at the photographer, with warm brown eyes and mouth open in anticipation. Peep some teefies.

Frosty morning with a magpie (and a well hidden kangaroo)

Olympus OM-D E-M5 | M Zuiko 14-42mm
#landscapephotography #photography
A morning shot of a metal gate dividing two frosty paddocks. There are partially shaded hills in the background, contrasting with the morning sun glittering on the ice crystals dusted across the yellowed grass. The foreground is shaded by a tree (which is partially visible on the left of the frame). There is a magpie sitting on the gate, and a kangaroo hidden in the distant paddock.

A photo taken on an overcast day from a platform at Flinders St Station, looking down the railway lines as a blue train pulls into the station. Behind are some skyscrapers and the iconic Flinders St Station clock. This photo is similar to the last, but there is a bird sitting on the wires for the trains, clearly silhouetted against the bright-yet-overcast sky. There is no train arriving.

Grevilleas in the light
Happy with shots from the garden for the first time

Olympus OM-D E-M5 | M Zuiko 14-42mm
#photography #landscapephotography #flowers
A close up portrait of a young grevillea plant. It’s focussed on a single furled flower, in a red with hints of magenta. The foreground and background are red buds and green leaves, just out of focus. A photo of the same young red grevillea plant. The plant is silhouetted against the dappled white sunlight, leaving the rest of the frame in shadow.

A slice of sunlight with some leftover mist

Olympus OM-D E-M5 | M Zuiko 14-42mm
#photography #landscapephotography
A wide photo of a hill with three peaks in the distance. The sky is covered in long, misty clouds, which mimic the remnants of fog visible across the left and far right of the hill. Through the middle, a slash of morning light turns the trees gold. This image is similar to the last, but focuses only on the right peak. Some mist is visible in the centre, and the morning sunlight paints a warm slash horizontally across the middle of the frame. The sky is light and blue where not covered in cloud; the photo is well balanced as half sky and half landscape.

A photo of a brilliantly red seed pod, round and spiky. It is sitting in a pool of sunlight, surrounded by deep shadows. In the distance, some bushes reddened by autumn are visible.

A photo from afar of a motorcyclist buckling their helmet. The helmet is covered in a fuzzy bunny head cover, complete with long upright ears, which is catching the sunlight from behind. He is framed by two vehicles and a ceiling of yellow autumn leaves, all bathed in warm light.

Long exposure between showers

Olympus OM-D E-M5 | LUMIX G 14mm
#streetphotography #urbanphotography #photography #melbourne #naarm
A long exposure photo taken at night. The foreground is the concrete block the camera is sitting on; the highlight is a streak of orange moving horizontally through the centre of the frame, as the headlights of a car. The sky is dark, except where (over)lit by streetlights This photo is similar to the last, but the streak of headlights was LED blue, and stretches all the way to the left edge of the shot.

The best part of The Strand is the rainbow light panels the whole way around

Olympus OM-D E-M5 | LUMIX G 14mm II
#streetphotography #urbanphotography #photography #melbourne #naarm
A photo taken at night looking down an alley between two-storey buildings. The feature is the rainbow panels and lights affixed to the building on the left, starting from purple in the top left, working through blue, green and yellow to the brightly lit orange and red near the centre of the image. The lights are also reflecting onto the paved ground.
