The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Shadows and silhouettes.

On By dalecooper57In editing and effects, nature photography, photography10 Comments

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…

Happy Friday to you and welcome to your weekly burst of inspiration in the form of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which this week is prompted by; Shadows and Silhouettes.

Lots of scope for subject matter and room for creative imagination, rain or shine, day or night.

See you on Monday, have a great weekend.

For this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge I’d like you to capture images for another round of; Three shots from one spot.

If you haven’t played this game before, it’s very simple; all you have to do this week is take three photos (or sets of three if you like) while standing in the same place, or at least in the same location.

So you have an unlimited range of subject matter, you just have to know where to stand.

Have a great weekend, see you on Monday.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Music on film.

On By dalecooper57In arts, editing and effects, photography14 Comments

It’s a trawl through the archives this week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, after a bout of festival nostalgia inspired me to set the prompt as; Music on film.

Here’s a small selection of the many images of musical folk I’ve captured over the years.

Where did your musical muse lead you at the weekend?

Hello, sorry I’m late, but here I am to give you your latest mission on The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

This week I’ve been hearing a lot about Glastonbury on the radio and it has given me a bad case of music festival withdrawal. So while I search for a local event to attend this summer, I will content myself with revisiting previous communal terpsichorean experiences.

To this end, I’m setting the theme for Monday’s challenge as; Music on film.

Now, if this requires you to rifle through your archives to find something apposite, be my guest, that’s exactly what I’ll be doing. But obviously, if you do happen upon some new musical imagery, don’t hesitate to snap it up.

Have a great weekend, see y’all soon.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Summer views.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography11 Comments

Well, didn’t that weekend go by quickly?

Anyway, since we’re all here and it’s apparently Monday again, let’s get on with The Cosmic Photo Challenge and have a look at your; Summer views.

As it turned out, the weather was just starting to change as I went out taking pictures yesterday morning (there was a thunder storm later), but it is summer and these were the views I had as I walked along the river from Fremington Quay.

Where did your photographic wanderings take you for the challenge this week..?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: The great wide open.

On By dalecooper57In editing and effects, nature photography, photography15 Comments

I thought the weather was turning against me at the weekend and getting out into The great wide open might have been more of a Cosmic Photo Challenge than usual, but yesterday the sun returned after a foggy start at the local vineyard.

By one o’clock it was roasting hot and I drove up to the wind farm on top of the river valley, where panoramas really are the only way to do the view justice. I was rather pleased with capturing four moving turbines in a single long exposure shot, plus I caught a couple of nice reflections.

Where in the great outdoors did you seek inspiration at the weekend..?

Fingers crossed the weather stays nice this weekend, because The Cosmic Photo Challenge is going out into; The great wide open.

Sometimes it’s nice to get out where you can see the whole sky for a change, really feel the space around you, which is the feeling I’d like your images to evoke for Monday’s post.

Have a great weekend, enjoy the great outdoors.
