Cosmic Photo prompt.

On By dalecooper57In photographyLeave a comment

The weekend is here and The Cosmic Photo Challenge beckons, with the theme of; At the coast.

Pretty self-explanatory, I think, so head for the beach or comb your archives for some ocean-adjacent images to brighten Monday’s post.

Have a great weekend, see y’all soon.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography13 Comments

Hello, welcome to Monday and this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which is based on the prompt; What’s flowering where you are?

I captured all my shots in our garden, which is starting to look quite colourful.

How did your floral safari go at the weekend..?

Phew, what a scorcher it’s been here today, it almost feels like summer has arrived, so today on The Cosmic Photo Challenge we’re going for another round of; What’s flowering where you are?

That’s it, simple as can be. So go out and find some summery blooms for us to enjoy on Monday.

Have a great weekend, happy snapping, everyone.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Passages and pathways.

On By dalecooper57In photography21 Comments

Good morning all (at least I hope you’re seeing this on Monday morning, not Sunday again) and welcome to The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which this week is all about; Passages and pathways.

I took a walk into town at the weekend and found quite a selection of narrow thoroughfares to capture on the way.

Now let’s see your avenues and alleyways…

Friday means prompt day, here at The Cosmic Photo Challenge, so here’s your inspiration for the weekend; Passages and pathways.

Alleys, corridors, tunnels, bridleways, twittens, all qualify for Monday’s post, so go out and find some routes to shoot and I’ll see you on the other side.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Motion.

On By dalecooper57In editing and effects, photography9 Comments

Two days of rainy weather and a thunderstorm, with one short afternoon of sunshine, that’s what passes for an English summer weekend, apparently. So I took my pictures for The Cosmic Photo Challenge indoors.

Today we’re looking at; Motion.

I tried a few more long exposure experiments; there’s a moving shot with a clear and blurred image in the same frame and a quick burst of lightning for good measure. Each of these was captured in a single shot.

*edit: ok, it is the third time this has happened, so I’m blaming WordPress for the scheduling glitch, as this post was definitely set to post tomorrow morning.

What moving pictures did you find for us..?

It’s another wet and grey Friday, but never fear, The Cosmic Photo Challenge is here to inspire you for the weekend ahead.

This week we’re going to be trying to capture; Motion.

So, there’s blurring, action shots, long exposures, all sorts of fun techniques are open for exploration in Monday’s show and tell.

Have a great weekend and cross your fingers for some decent weather.

On By dalecooper57In editing and effects, photography12 Comments

Hello there, it’s Monday again and what better way to start the week than with The Cosmic Photo Challenge?

Today we are concentrating on; Contrasts.

I spent much of my weekend in the garden, so here are some shots from there; contrasting natural colours with inverted and monochrome edits.

Now let’s see how your weekend’s homework is looking today…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Sunrise/sunset

On By dalecooper57In photography11 Comments

For this week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, we’re looking at the; Sunrise/sunset.

It was, of course, overcast all weekend, but here is a selection from the start and end of some recent, more cooperative days.

Also, an event that happened at sunset on Saturday, even though there wasn’t any sign of the sun; the crows in the rapidly expanding rookery in the tall trees behind our garden, all took off at the same time.

Did you have any more luck catching the sun waking up or going to sleep..?
