Hello and a happy weekend to you all, it’s time I provided you with your prompt for this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge.
The weather is already truly horrendous here, so today I’m giving you the opportunity to stay indoors in the warm and capture images on the theme of; From my window.
I hope that gives you sufficient inspiration, I’ll see you back here on Monday for the official unveiling of your photographic creations.

Another gloomy Monday morning on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, leading on from an equally dull and overcast weekend, tying in nicely with prescient prompt; Shades of grey.
I took a very brisk and chilly walk along the river Taw yesterday, past buildings old and new.
How was your search for colourless inspiration? Show us what you found, we’d all love to see…

Time for another tardy post on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, delayed this week by a lengthy session at my local phone store where I was driving a hard upgrade bargain for nearly two hours.
It looks like the spell of cold but sunny weather we’ve been having here is over for now, so any opportunities for getting outside to take photos will most likely be in; Shades of grey.
So that’s your prompt, enjoy your weekend and I’ll see you on Monday.

Here we go again, it’s the start of another week, but don’t worry, The Cosmic Photo Challenge is at hand to cheer up your Monday.
Today’s theme is rather ephemeral; Less is more.
I decided that (to me, at least) the prompt meant less colour and no planning, so keeping an eye out for inspiration over the weekend, I captured; shadow patterns on the ceiling made by our woven string lampshade…
…and a hastily snapped shot of the moon on the way to pick Rhonda up from work last night.
Now let’s see how minimal you managed to go…

Today on The Cosmic Photo Challenge I’d like you to consider the prompt; Less is more.
Make of that what you will and I’ll admire your minimal images on Monday.
Have a great weekend, happy snapping.

Another week dawns and another edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge rises from the ashes of the weekend to brighten your Monday.
Good morning everyone, I hope your day is going well so far and you’re ready to face the challenge of the prompt; Woodland winter.
I took a very pleasant, if slightly soggy walk, through the woods around the soon to be developed Venn Quarriesjust outside Barnstaple.
The river was pretty swollen by the recent heavy rain and I managed to capture a few long exposure shots of the swirly currents, giving the water an ethereal, misty effect, along with some super slo-mo clips of waterfalls, which you can see in the short video tour below.
ended up with too many shots to choose between, so I have posted the entire gallery on my other blog and you can see them allHERE}
Now it’s time to see images of your own winter woodland wonderlands, I can’t wait to see what you have for us.

Honestly, I will remember to post your prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge on a Friday eventually, but apparently not this week. ;~}
Anyway, now I’m finally here, I’ll tell you that today I’m asking you to find some images which illustrate the theme; Woodland winter.
I’m sure many of you will be able to furnish us with suitably seasonal pictures of snowy scenes, although I suspect my own offerings will be of the wet variety, since the weekend weather doesn’t look too promising here.
But whatever you manage to capture, we’ll all be here to enjoy the results on Monday. Have a nice couple of days off and I’ll see you on the other side.

Welcome, one and all, to the very first reveal post of 2022 on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today is themed around the prompt; Starting afresh.
A pretty broad brush with which to create our photographic masterpieces and I chose to take my first stroll of the year round Rock Park yesterday, later than planned as it began to bucket down with rain just as I was leaving.
However, that downpour provided some perfect stretches of standing water, all the better for catching reflections. I also captured some fresh paint and some not so fresh…
How was your start to the new year, show us your inaugural images and let us all share in your creativity.

Hello and a happy 2022 to you all, I hope your celebrations haven’t left you too fragile this morning and that you’re ready for a new round of The Cosmic Photo Challenge.
I’m going to make it an easy one for our first post-festivities prompt and give us plenty of room for creative manoeuvre with the theme; Starting afresh.
See you on Monday for the unveiling of the start of another year’s worth of fabulous photos. Enjoy the rest of your break, stay safe, get boosted, start as you mean to go on.
Peace.

Good morning, welcome to the final installment of The Cosmic Photo Challenge for 2021, I hope you all had a lovely time over the festive weekend and are ready to; Show us your Christmas.
I have gone completely over the top with my closing contribution for the year, by creating a multimedia extravaganza for your viewing and listening pleasure.
I spent a considerable amount of time over the last few days composing, producing, editing and mixing an epic wall of sound masterpiece, which then of course required a suitably extraordinary video to accompany it. But what could I use for the raw material..?
We had a split celebration this year, as Rhonda was working a twelve hour shift on the 25th; so Audrey and I had Christmas Day part one on our own. She opened gifts from a friend in America, we watched a movie with homemade popcorn and had a lazy day filled with food and the sound of Audrey talking to her new friend, Alexa.
We did Christmas properly on Boxing Day, when Rhonda had a rare couple of days off, complete with a second burst of presents, all the food, crackers, silly hats and yes, even a Christmas jumper…
Anyway, I’d taken this 18 second timelapse of Audrey disemboweling her first batch of presents…
…which I thought would make as good a starting point as any for my video editing project.
So, after many, many hours of layering, FX, more layering, more editing, more FX and even more layering, that 18 seconds of my daughter making a mess with wrapping paper turned into the mind-bending, eyeball-popping, trance-inducing epic which appears in the player below.
{Nothing else apart from that initial short clip was involved in the creation of the final product, only my excessive use of mucking about and digital fiddling}
This and the original version of my track, Aypeks, will soon be available for purchase on my Bandcamp profile, but for now, turn up the volume and strap yourselves in for the Extreme Funk Makeover Mix.
Enjoy.
Now let’s see what you did over the holidays…
