69/365 – a walk in the park

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...

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…. ;)

Rachel (2 comments.) - March 12, 2010 - 3:43 pm

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.

Fiona - March 12, 2010 - 2:50 pm

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.

Thomas (3 comments.) - March 12, 2010 - 1:14 pm

I really like the texture of the bark, works well in black and white.

Michelle - March 12, 2010 - 8:51 am

Absolutly stunning work.

Janet B (28 comments.) - March 12, 2010 - 8:34 am

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!

Carole (13 comments.) - March 12, 2010 - 1:18 am

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.

Angel (116 comments.) - March 11, 2010 - 9:28 pm

Trash the Dress in Newtown with Fiona

Blue door

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...

Trash the Dress in Newtown with Sue

The stone man

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...

Hi,
Nice pictures…
Maybe she wants to sell her trashed dress to me.
Please let her know I’m interested..

Wendy

Firefly (1 comments.) - September 22, 2009 - 11:29 am

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.

Gilz (158 comments.) - September 22, 2009 - 11:18 am

Right! So my goal is to get into my wedding dress by December and do a TTD with you.!!!

Cheryl - September 22, 2009 - 10:27 am

What more can I say. You got talent!!! Great great photo’s once again!

Janet B - September 22, 2009 - 9:46 am

Avril (Mom) (273 comments.) - September 22, 2009 - 7:39 am

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!)

Trash the Dress in Newtown – just the two of them

Friends laughing

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...

Kim (74 comments.) - September 21, 2009 - 6:12 pm

Avril (Mom) (273 comments.) - September 21, 2009 - 1:38 pm

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’!

Janet B - September 21, 2009 - 12:01 pm

LOL! What fun! Don’t think I’d still fit into mine! :)

Newtown on a Sunday morning

While you sleep

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...
