Cosmic Photo prompt.

On By dalecooper57In photographyLeave a comment

For this week’s prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, we’re going to get artistic, with a twist on an old favourite; Summer collage.

So get creative this weekend and combine two or more images into more than a sum of their parts, to evoke a summery atmosphere for Monday’s post.

Have a great weekend fingers crossed for good weather.

A limited prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge today, as I’ve been laid up with Covid for the last week; Indoor freestyle.

Basically you can take photos of whatever you like this week, but to level the playing field, as I’ll still be isolating over the weekend, your images must be captured inside.

That’s it, see you on Monday.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Night and day.

On By dalecooper57In editing and effects, photography15 Comments

This week’s entry for The Cosmic Photo Challenge took possibly the longest time it’s ever taken to produce a single image, based on the prompt; Night and day.

I had no idea what I was going to do when I set the theme on Saturday and by the time I’d worked out how to get the shot I wanted, I’d already missed one opportunity.

Yesterday I set up a tripod in the garden, so I could take a few photos from the same place throughout the day, hoping that when it came to last night I’d have the images I needed to complete the big picture you hopefully see below (at the time of writing, I have yet to take the final photo)…

…Yay, I did it, this composite image is made up of five separate photos taken on the same spot across 12 hours.

Morning to night, left to right.

What did your nightly excursions reveal..?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Close up on nature.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography17 Comments

This week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, we’re getting up close and personal with the natural world, following Friday’s prompt; Close up on nature.

I chose to capture some of the more flamboyant examples of local horticulture, along with a busy bumble bee and an impressively antlered but badly coordinated flying beetle which lumbered into the fennel in our garden.

How did your nature trail develop? Share the results with us and join in the fun…

It’s probably chancing the wrath of The Cosmic Photo Challenge weather jinx, but I’m going to cross my fingers and hope to get out and about again for this week’s prompt; Close up on nature.

We’ve had a few challenges involving the wide open spaces of the countryside recently, but I thought it would make a nice change to concentrate on some of the things which might get missed in the Big Picture.

So get up close and personal with the flora and fauna in your part of the weekend world and we’ll all return on Monday to display the fruits of our photographic scavenger hunt.

See you on the other side, enjoy.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Country landscapes.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography15 Comments

Hello wherever you are and welcome to another Monday edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which is brought to you this week by the prompt; Country landscapes.

As I was rudely awakened at 6am on Saturday, by our antisocial upstairs neighbours having one of their early morning screaming matches, I thought I may as well make the most of it. So I drove up onto Exmoor and captured the start of another glorious day in the Devon countryside.

How did your rural idyll develop? Show us what wonders you discovered and let us all enjoy them…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: My indoor space.

On By dalecooper57In editing and effects, photography11 Comments

Hello there, it’s time for your weekly dose of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today is built around the prompt; My indoor space.

Just the one image from me this week, an update on the golden pathos vine I’ve featured before and I mentioned we were going to have it climbing the wall on hooks.

Well, we do have it on the wall on hooks, but it’s possible that not all of the versions of it here are actually there, if you know what I mean…

Now, let’s see what you brought to the picture party this week.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: My outside space.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography12 Comments

This week’s mission on The Cosmic Photo Challenge was for you to capture some images which illustrate the prompt; My outside space.

We only have a small space, but we make the most of it and one of my favourite elements of it isn’t even in our garden. Its the trees that line the back fence, part of the woods which were here before the estate was built; at this time of year with their new foliage at its best, they add a whole new dimension to our extra outdoor room.

Now let’s have a look at your little oasis…

Good morning, welcome to the weekend and to your prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

For your photographic inspiration this time, I’m asking you to look around; My outside space.

Ok, so that’s obviously your outside space, be it a garden or a yard, a balcony or roof terrace, or even a window box, whatever external space you can call your own, that’s where you should take your pictures.

And if you’re not fortunate enough to have any private outside area you can access, show us the place you most often use to just relax and enjoy the great outdoors in a quiet moment.

See you on Monday, enjoy the rest of your weekend.

For your prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week, I’m returning to a favourite subject, since they have begun to look rather lovely again recently; In the trees.

I hope you enjoy your time seeking out some arboreal delights for Monday’s post, have a great weekend.
