Good morning, welcome to a very wet Monday, kicking off the week with today’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

This week’s theme is very specific, at least you’d think so, because it’s; Set in stone.

Now let’s see what you captured over the weekend…

The end of another week means it’s time for me to set the theme for The Cosmic Photo Challenge and today we’re looking for images which are; Set in stone.

As ever, the way you illustrate the prompt is entirely up to you and I look forward to seeing what you come up with on Monday.

Have a great weekend, see y’all on the other side.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Inversions.

On By dalecooper57In editing and effects, photography12 Comments

Happy bank holiday Monday to you all, I hope the Easter weekend went swimmingly and you’re enjoying the extra day off.

This week The Cosmic Photo Challenge is based on the prompt; Inversions.

I went out snapping early yesterday morning, without a clear idea of what I would do with my photos, but I had a flash of inspiration as I sat in the garden with a cider and I think they came out rather well.

I like the way the inverted half of each image makes it look like they’re not lined up straight, but they really are, honest.

How did you do with the topsy turvy challenge this week..?

This week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge we’re going to get everything the wrong way round, with the prompt; Inversions.

There are all sorts of ways to spin that in your own creative direction, so I’ll leave you to ponder over the Easter holiday and see you back here on Monday.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the extended break.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: The arrival of Spring.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography18 Comments

Another Monday, another chance to take part in The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which this week takes its inspiration from the prompt; The arrival of Spring.

Rhonda and I took a stroll round Arlington Court house and gardens yesterday afternoon (please go and check out most of the pictures I took HERE), where the Spring bulbs were in full bloom and there was a definite feeling of regeneration in the air.

How did your search for signs of Spring go..?

Well, hello there, how y’all doing this fine Friday? It’s time to provide you with your homework for the weekend, by way of this week’s theme on The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

There was of course an Equinox on Wednesday, so I thought it was about time to officially welcome the new season in images, with; The arrival of Spring.

Yes, yes, I’m aware some of you are experiencing a completely different set of seasonal changes at the moment, so you may either document those in your post, or trawl your archives for some springtime pictures, the choice is yours.

Have a fabulous couple of days relaxing and I’ll see you back here on Monday.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Looking through.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography23 Comments

Monday morning means it’s time for The Cosmic Photo Challenge to brighten your day, this week with images based on the prompt; Looking through.

I captured some contrasting views of Barnstaple, some of which were looking thru the flowers, allowing me to crowbar in a jangly dream pop classic for good measure.

This one is a bird feeder, in case you’re interested

What did you look through at the weekend?

Come on, show and tell time…

Good evening, everyone, I hope your Friday was stress free and you are now relaxing into the weekend. Today’s prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge is open to interpretation, so have fun with; Looking through.

That’s it, spin that whichever way you’d like and I’ll catch y’all again on Monday.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Interesting buildings.

On By dalecooper57In photography13 Comments

Hooray, it’s Monday again!

Why so pleased to start the week, I hear you ask. Well, because it means it’s The Cosmic Photo Challenge of course, today based on the prompt; Interesting buildings.

I have to admit the theme of this week’s challenge came to me at five o’clock on Friday morning, an hour into the four and a half hour drive to central London from Devon. 

We had to travel to the American Embassy in Nine Elms, which is surrounded by the luxury high-rise, Thames-side apartments of Embassy Gardens, for a one hour passport renewal appointment, before driving the 250 miles back home.

Fortunately it was a lovely sunny day and the architecture was at its sparkly best. The Embassy itself, with its sculptural facade and two apartment blocks with an extraordinary glass swimming pool  suspended between them, a dozen storeys high, were particularly impressive.

Inside the Embassy, looking out across London from the second floor

What structural wonders did you discover over the weekend? Come on, show us watcha got…
