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.

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

Happy Friday, everyone, let’s celebrate the end of the week with The Cosmic Photo Challenge and this week’s prompt; Interesting buildings.

It’s as easy as that, just capture any architectural attractions you like and bring them for our big show and tell on Monday.

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

The Cosmic Photo Challenge, part two: Wide open spaces.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography6 Comments

Hello again, I’m here to finally add my own pictures to this week’s challenge, which was based on the theme of; Wide open spaces.

Thank you for all your messages of support, I had a bit of a glitch with my IBS medication, a long drive and possibly some input from a grouchy prostate, all of which conspired to put me in hospital for 12 hours yesterday.

Long, uncomfortable story, short; I had to have a catheter fitted for a week and was instructed to change my IBS meds, but today I was sufficiently recovered to take a careful stroll on Ashdown Forest to capture the landscape Winnie The Pooh called home.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Wide open spaces.

On By dalecooper57In photography12 Comments

Hello, welcome to The Cosmic Photo Challenge, although not the one I’d hoped for.

This week’s prompt was; Wide open spaces.

However, I have managed to land myself in hospital, 250 miles from home and without having had a chance to take any photos. So I’ll either sit this one out or post my pictures later in the week.

As for the rest of you, please carry on as usual and normal service will be resumed next week.

Thank you.

Well it’s another rainy Friday, but fear not, The Cosmic Photo Challenge is here to let the light of inspiration into your weekend.

Today the prompt is going to get us all out in the fresh air to capture those; Wide open spaces.

Pretty self-explanatory I think, so I’ll leave you to add your own unique spin to the photos for Mondays show and tell.

Have a lovely weekend and I’ll see y’all on the other side.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Bare trees.

On By dalecooper57In editing and effects, nature photography, photography16 Comments

Another weekend gone in a flash, but with The Cosmic Photo Challenge to restart your week, Mondays aren’t so bad.

This week we were out searching for Bare trees and I was spoilt for choice, on my misty but not unpleasant wander around Rock Park in Barnstaple, yesterday afternoon.

The dogwood stems really pop in the grey winter light

How did your mission go, seeking out au naturale arboreal models for your weekend’s homework?

Come on, show us, we’re very friendly and we’d love you to join in…
