A new week brings a new Cosmic Photo Challenge and today’s theme is; Little and large.
As you’ll see from this post, I returned home to Sussex for a flying visit last week, where I found some large towers in the countryside and some very small sculptures on a friend’s mantlepiece.
How did your search for extremes of size develop?

This week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge it’s all a matter of scale, with the theme; Little and large.
Big and small, giant and tiny, immense and miniscule, whatever you call it, I’d like to see some size comparisons for Monday’s post.
As usual, the finer points of interpretation are up to you, have a great weekend and I’ll see you on the other side.

This week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge we’re finally celebrating the arrival of a new season, because; It’s Spring!
I thought I was being hopelessly optimistic when I mentioned “sunshine photos” in Friday’s post, but yesterday was nice enough to sit out in the garden all day. I got out and about while the world was having a Sunday lie-in and captured that unique morning light.

With the usual caveats to southern hemisphere participants in The Cosmic Photo Challenge, this week’s prompt is based on the fact that on Monday; It’s Spring!
Yes, winter officially ends this weekend, so hopefully there might even be some sunshine photos to start the week.
Whatever the weather, have a great weekend and I look forward to meeting back here on Monday to compare notes.

Hi there, I hope you’ve all had a good weekend and are ready for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which this week is based around the prompt; Out in the country.
I’ve had a fairly creative couple of days (the result of which can be seen on Return Of The Internet Nobody) and in the process of making the audio visual treats you’ll find over there, I had an idea…
Having shot a long video of a drive in the country (with the camera in a windscreen-mounted holder, safety fans), I realised I could use the frame capture feature to produce photos for today’s challenge.
These were edited for artistic effect, partly because some of them were a little blurred, but they came out surprisingly well.

*BONUS CONTENT*
Just because I could, I shot a timelapse video of the return journey, shrinking the 20 minute drive down to 35 seconds. This worked fine, but it was very fast and I decided to slow it down with one of my video editing apps, which I noticed had a new “smooth slo-mo” button and I do love a gadget, so…well, of course I tried it.
Now, the feature is supposed to reduce or remove the jerky effect you sometimes get when slowing video right down, by artificially transitioning the frames more smoothly from one to the next.
But the poor old software doesn’t know I’ve given it a timelapse video to smooth out, with maybe a hundred yards traveled in between each individual photo, so it tries as hard as it possibly can to streeeeeeeetchh each frame and join them up.
The resulting warping, concertina effect immediately brought to mind a “boing” noise, so I quickly added an appropriate soundtrack and voila!
What did you capture in the countryside this week?

Hello everybody, I hope your Saturday is going well so far. It’s time I gave you a hint as to where TheCosmic Photo Challenge is taking us this week and I’ve decided on a simple one with plenty of scope; Out in the country.
By the way, welcome to all the recent new participants in our little group, it’s really good to have you aboard, I’m pleased the challenges piqued your interest and I’ll do my best to keep them interesting.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I’ll see y’all on Monday.

For this week’s theme on The Cosmic Photo Challenge I asked you to capture images which featured; Straight lines.
Once you start looking, the straight edges and outlines are all around you, so I thought I’d go for the mundane with an artistic twist.
Now it’s your turn to demonstrate some linear precision, let’s see whatcha got…

After last week’s unsteady theme, The Cosmic Photo Challenge is back in sharp focus this week, with the prompt; Straight lines.
Simple and to the point, or maybe not, you decide.
Have a great weekend, see you on Monday.

This week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge is brought to you by the prompt; Intentional camera movement.
There are many ways in which moving the camera mid-capture can alter the resulting image, so I decided to think outside the box and revisit a couple of techniques I’ve used before.
With the camera attached safely to my windscreen, it was certainly moving in relation to everything outside; while experimenting with mirrors and panoramic settings again was…well, predicably peculiar.
Now it’s time to share your out of focus fun…

For this week’s theme on The Cosmic Photo Challenge we’re going to get all blurry, with a prompt inspired by one of our occasional contributors, David Meredith, who gets some great effects with; Intentional camera movement (ICM).
So let’s get all experimental this weekend and no matter what the results, post them back here for the big reveal.
Have fun and I’ll see you on Monday.
