Good morning, on this fine Monday The Cosmic Photo Challenge is taking its inspiration from the prompt; Any two colours.
My two featured colours are blue and yellow (or yellowish) and it was fun editing these while I stayed indoors out of the rain at the weekend.
Where did your dual colour adventure take you?

Monday’s here and it’s back to work once more, but let’s take a moment to gaze upon the wonders brought to you by The Cosmic Photo Challenge and this week’s theme; Art for art’s sake.
For our semi-regular creative prompt today, I took this rather ordinary photo of the yard at work…
…and turned it into this surreal collage. There are 20 individual images in this one photo. I’m especially pleased with the reflections. ;~}
In what direction did the creative muse take you over the weekend?

Welcome to the new week and to The Cosmic Photo Challenge, it’s time to find out if pictures can be just as interesting with just; A splash of colour.
I gave four new shots and two old ones the colour splash fingertip erasing treatment and they’re all rather eye-catching.
Now let’s have a look at your colourful creations…

For The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week we are capturing the twilight hours, for the prompt; As the nights draw in.
Just the two shots from me today, although they do represent several hours worth of photography between them.
The first is a composite image of three moments in time from Saturday.
12noon 4pm 7pm
The second one is a shot of the night sky, taken with my phone mounted on the car windscreen; a long exposure of two hours, which includes the flight path of an aircraft and a few other celestial bodies.
What did the evening reveal to you at the weekend?

Once again The Cosmic Photo Challenge is here to kick-start your Monday, with all today’s images inspired by; One thing inside another.
I was very nearly beaten by my own challenge this week, but I managed to crowbar the theme far enough open to cram in these four shots.

Did you fare any better in your search for inspiration?

Hello again and welcome to the week. Monday is the day we aggregate the creative contributions from around the world to The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today means looking at; Life in black and white.
I took a walk through Barnstaple yesterday afternoon and chose some of the more…utilitarian parts of town, to capture in frozen moments of monochrome.
Now let’s see what your world looks like when it’s drained of colour, it’s really easy to take part.

Hi there, welcome to a bank holiday Monday edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, this week inspired by the prompt; In motion.
I was up at 3.30 on Saturday morning, for a long day of driving from Barnstaple to Heathrow airport and back. The sun rose as we were heading across Salisbury plain towards Stone Henge and by the time we arrived home again it was four in the afternoon.
I had my phone attached to the windscreen on a long-armed holder, meaning I barely needed to raise my hand from the wheel to take some genuinely moving pictures. (They were cropped and straightened later where necessary)
There are also a couple of timed long exposures using the same method, plus a convenient outtake from last week I didn’t realise I’d taken, walking by a pond on the golf course.
What kind of kinetic kompositions did you kapture for us at the weekend?

Hello there, the very best of Mondays to you. Today on The Cosmic Photo Challenge we’re turning our attention upwards again, because this week; The sky’s the limit.
There are a lot of fabulously fluffy cloud formations around at the moment, which have combined rather nicely with a vapour trail in one of my shots. In fact it made such a nice shot, I used it for the cover art on my latest EP*, which you can check out by clicking on the photo in question, or at this link.
What did you see up in the great blue yonder at the weekend?

*BONUS CONTENT
Speaking of new music, here’s another brand spanking new audio visual project I finished just yesterday. I couldn’t begin to guess what musical genre you’d fit this into, but I’ve called it Return Of The Malevolent Seven and it’s a bit of an epic.
Hello everyone (including any neighbours I met on the campsite), welcome to this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, once again brightening your Monday with eclectic images from around the world.
I set the theme on Friday with full knowledge of the fact I was attending Leopallooza festival over the weekend, thereby giving myself a slight advantage when I set you a theme of; Festivals.
So to make it fair I gave you a wild card Freestyle option to post whatever you like, in case you didn’t have any appropriately festive material to hand.
Friday dawned bright and sunny, boding well for pitching the tent, so I made an early start and after arriving at the site before the gates opened, was actually the very first person on the campsite.
I made a beeline for the high ground and got the tent up on my prime piece of real estate before anyone else could stake their claim, nicely sheltered by a tall hedge with a view across the whole site. It wasn’t long before some fellow campers arrived to complete a very convivial little neighborhood and after a coffee and a chat I went exploring.
On Saturday the rains came. And they kept coming. And they brought the mud.
It cheered up again on Sunday, but the mud remained and it was only the weather which needed cheering up anyway, I didn’t see an unhappy face all weekend, the atmosphere was great.
And they have the best festival bar I’ve ever seen. It has sofas! It has armchairs! It has a view of the arena!
I didn’t spend the whole weekend in there, honest.
Here are some of my highlights from what was sadly the very last Leopallooza festival, although there are rumours that it may return in some form soon.
{There’s an expanded version of this post on my other blog and you can see it HERE}
Festive or freestyling, which did you choose this week? Drop your links in the comments and show us what you have to offer…

Hello and welcome to another Monday morning edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today is brought to you by the prompt; Shadows and silhouettes.
Seeing it was a beautiful day when I awoke yesterday, I wasn’t in any rush to make my planned trip into town to capture some sunlit architectural silhouettes, so I sat in the garden with a coffee and a book for a couple of hours.
Less than a minute after leaving home in blazing sunshine however, the sky opened and I had to sit in the car for ten minutes before I dared make a dash for cover.
Needless to say, my plans changed and I instead present pictures of; the bizarre purple clouds over the castle mound immediately prior to a new downpour, silhouettes and shadows cast by renovation scaffolding in the covered pannier market where I sheltered from the elements, and some trees against the finally blue sky yesterday evening.
Hope your weekend plans panned out better than mine, let’s have a look at what you have to show us…
