I went out at lunchtime today to the James and Ethel Gray Park close to Melrose Arch. It was a scouting expedition for a new park to use as a photo venue. My photos from my excursion are a mish-mash of styles today, and I only used my 50mm f1.8 lens. This time, even though...
that dragonfly is amazing!
The dragonfly is just stunning… and you live in such a beautiful place. Would love to visit that area sometime. Now you got me thinking…. 
I opened up your blog and the photo of the dragonfly literally took my breath away! I also love the 2nd last shot of the flower.
Love love love the 1st one! Very impressive Jeanette. I also really like the rest especially the grass one ~ the affect you using is really nice.
In the couple of times I have been to Johannesburg I haven’t yet had the opportunity or the location to take a nice skyline pic of the city. This looks like a good spot.
I really like the texture of the bark, works well in black and white.
Absolutly stunning work.
Stunning! My two favourite? Jozi skyline and the dragonfly! Well done!
Beautiful pictures – and love the dragonfly!
Wow – lovely! The dragonfly is gorgeous! But think before you go anywhere .. and NEVER alone!!! Your angels were with you – please don’t do it again!
Stunning photos Jeanette, different from your usual but very much the same professional quality. I love the textures of the trees bark and the dof of the insect and flowers.
It looks fabulous! Thats some view!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!! that dragonfly shot is *ah-may-zzzing!!!*
It was actually great having two people for our Newtown Trash the Dress photoshoot with 2 very different styles of dresses, as it allowed me to take very different photos in the same setting. Here are my favourite photos of Fiona from the afternoon.
This was the closest that we got to having a “groom”
And that’s...

Stunning Jeanette!!! I LOVE number 4 and 5 
I”m loving these Jeanette!!! They came out so nicely. I’m sure Fiona is going to be very happy with them too.
Yesterday I posted a few photos of Sue and Fiona, from the Trash the Dress photoshoot we did in Newtown, and now the focus is on Sue alone. Sue was actually supposed to join us on the first TTD session we did a few months ago, but couldn’t make the date in the end, but...

great shots, LOVE the last one!
Hi,
Nice pictures…
Maybe she wants to sell her trashed dress to me.
Please let her know I’m interested..

Both sets are stunning. I have never been to Newtown, but it seems like a stunning backdrop for photo sessions with any kind of models. Although I imagine that you will have to go there on a Sunday when there isn’t loads of traffic and people around.
Right! So my goal is to get into my wedding dress by December and do a TTD with you.!!!
What more can I say. You got talent!!! Great great photo’s once again!
What a lot of fun!!
gosh, i’m really loving the blue and red ones! fabulous stuff jen!
i am green with envy that you guys got to do this
Its awesome! I think I could do a Newtown TTD shoot…
Love these – specially the contrasting colours of the blue and red. Last one made be smile .. you can almost hear her laugh! (its an amazing mural!)
I met a whole load of friends in Newtown on Sunday afternoon for a Trash-the-Dress (or Day-After or un-bridal) photo session with 2 fabulous women who got married a few years ago and wanted to wear their dresses again.
It was loads of fun wandering through the streets of Johannesburg with 2 other photographers (who are...

You were BRAVE!!! But lovely photo’s
Was such fun!! Thanks Jeanette – can’t wait to see more
PS I just fitted into mine hahahaha
Jen I have been waiting for these!!!!!!!! WOW!
Gorgeous Jeanette!!!!
It was LOTS of fun!!! I can’t wait to see the rest of your pics Jeanette. I was only going to start with mine later this week but I just couldn’t wait so I’m doing some tonight
I can’t WAIT to see the rest.. fabulous!!!
I definitely can’t fit into mine!!! Such fun!! Good for those security guards, keeping an eye on you all. Carrying cameras around makes you ‘easy pickings’!

LUVVIT!!
Ok Wow! Great venue! Looks like a whole buncha’ fun! Looking forward to seeing more =)
oh wow! looks like you lot had loads of fun!

I met up with a whole lot of tweeters in Newtown this morning for a photowalk, and I really enjoyed it. We didn’t get to really spend time in Newtown during the Worldwide photowalk a few weeks ago, and I’ve always wanted to walk around there, so this was an ideal opportunity. I learnt...
