The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Say hello to Summer.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography10 Comments

Hello everybody, it’s time for The Cosmic Photo Challenge to pay its respects to the new season as we; Say hello to Summer.

And what better way to usher in the sunshine months, than a visit to the seaside?

I took a drive out to Combe Martin at the weekend and captured some beach scenes to match the scorching weather.

How did you welcome in the new season..?

Hello there, I hope you had a nice weekend and that Monday hasn’t come as too much of a shock, but if so, The Cosmic Photo Challenge is here to ease you into the week.

Today we’re on the water’s edge, for the prompt; At the shoreline.

I took a walk along Woolacoombe beach on Saturday afternoon, when we had our allotted ration of hazy sunshine for the weekend.

Where did you go to capture your water-adjacent pictures this week..?

Hello there, I hope you had a good weekend, now let’s get to The Cosmic Photo Challenge for today.

Friday’s prompt was; At the coast, so I took an early morning stroll down Instow beach, before the holidaying hordes arrived.

What coastal views did you capture to inspire us this week..?

Good morning, I hope Monday finds you well and I wish a Happy 4th of July to our American contingent.

This week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge it’s all about how pictures are framed, as we are; Focusing on composition.

Where did your search for the ultimate framing take you, it’s time to share your results…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: On the shore.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography17 Comments

On The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week, I asked you to capture your images; On the shore.

After over 20 years living in North Devon, I finally made my first trip to a hidden Victorian gem, Tunnel Beaches in Ilfracombe.

Accessed by an unassuming white tunnel entrance just a few minutes walk from the high street, these beaches were opened in the early 1800s with the two naturally separated coves enabling ladies and gentlemen to bathe with their modesty intact. The gentlemen’s beach was in use for a wedding yesterday, so I took a stroll around the rugged landscape of the ladies beach and made a video tour, accompanied by an extract from a recently composed piece of appropriately watery ambient electronica*.

Where did your search for the water’s edge take you at the weekend? Let’s have a look at your pictures…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Cold and bright.

The weekend weather actually cooperated with my mission to take pictures for The Cosmic Photo Challenge yesterday, allowing me to take a bracing walk along the beach at Saunton Sands for the prompt; Cold and bright.

Where did your trip into the cold blue yonder take you this week?
