Cosmic Photo prompt.

On By dalecooper57In photographyLeave a comment

The end of a long week brings you the regular diversion of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which won’t be a colourful affair because the theme is; Life in black and white.

No limit on your creativity, just make all your images monochrome and capture whatever you like for Monday’s post.

Have a great weekend, see y’all soon.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Over the hills and far away.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography9 Comments

There’s a distant look in our eyes for this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, because the theme I set on Friday was; Over the hills and far away.

I managed to catch a gap in the rain on Saturday, to go walking up one side of the v-shaped, double river valley which makes up the wider Barnstaple landscape.

The weather was too grey and uninteresting to provide anything very inspiring, but here are some views of the misty Devon countryside around our home, including panoramas which feature three different sets of distant hills.

Were the elements kinder to you at the weekend? Show us what you captured for your homework, it’s your turn to shine…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: As summer fades.

Good morning all, hope you had a good weekend, now it’s time for The Cosmic Photo Challenge to start your day with a smile.

Yesterday I took a walk in the woods, to capture some pictures to go with this week’s prompt; As summer fades.

Where did your weekend travels take you..?

As is often the case when I go out taking pictures, yesterday I shot some video in the woods and used it to make a visual accompaniment to a new piece of music.

Here is Arborealis for you to enjoy.

Welcome to Friday’s prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I hope your week went well and you’re ready for your weekend mission.

For Monday’s post, I’d like to see some images on the theme of; As summer fades.

It’s almost an annual feature now, I know, but it’s a nice excuse to get out in what remains of the sunshine. So if you are in a part of the world where a seasonal change is in the air, go out and capture it. If you’re still basking in glorious sunshine for months to come, then frankly I’m envious, but you are still very welcome to take part. ;~}

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

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: In the evening.

Welcome to the week, everyone, time for The Cosmic Photo Challenge again, today inspired by the prompt; In the evening.

I took a stroll along the River Taw on Saturday, about an hour before sunset, capturing the softening evening light and some nice reflections, I even managed to turn the sun into a street lamp.

Now let’s see the photographic fruits of your weekend creative endeavours…

Whew, just remembered in time to drop by and give you your prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

This week we’re going to leave it until late to find our inspiration, because the theme is; In the evening.

Have a great weekend, see you all on Monday.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: In motion.

On By dalecooper57In editing and effects, photography13 Comments

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?

Good evening, a very happy Friday to you (particularly here in the UK, as we have a three day weekend ahead of us), time for your weekly prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

I have to take another 500 mile round trip from Devon to Heathrow tomorrow, to collect Audrey from her month-long stay in America. So for no other reason than that, this week’s theme is; In motion.

Have a great weekend, whatever you’re up to, see y’all on Monday.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Low elevation.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography16 Comments

Ah, the start of a new week, that can only mean one thing… The Cosmic Photo Challenge!

This week, we’re getting our images from nearer the ground than usual, because the theme is; Low elevation.

I took a couple of photos in the garden on Saturday, but then I was lucky enough to capture a stunning sunrise yesterday morning, which kind of outshone them.

Now let’s get the lowdown from the rest of you.
