On By dalecooper57In photography12 Comments

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

This week we’re taking the long view, with the theme of; Landscapes.

Here is a selection of open spaces, taken in the last couple of weeks, in Devon, Wiltshire and Sussex. (Note the odd effect panoramic images have on moving turbines)

This week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, we’re reflecting on the fact that; The nights are drawing in.

Yes, it’s darker at both ends of the day again and night is falling sooner, so let’s take advantage of that and bring the dusky light of early evening to Monday’s post.

Have a great weekend, everyone, see y’all on the other side.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Abstraction.

On By dalecooper57In editing and effects, photography11 Comments

Hi there, welcome back to The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which this week concentrates on the obscure, with the prompt; Abstraction.

I have four pictures to offer today, one created from overlapping images of components I made at work and three from photos of my tablet sitting on a garden chair (no, really), for no reason whatsoever.

What did you do to fit the brief this week..?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Morning light.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography11 Comments

Good Monday morning to you, I hope you had a nice weekend, now let’s get to the important business of The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

This week we’re all about that magical time of day when you can enjoy; Morning light.

I thought we were in for a grey day yesterday, but by 8 o’clock the sun was already burning off the clouds and I went for a stroll in the country lanes just outside Barnstaple.

How was your early start, did you capture the dawn for us?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Looking for shade.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography7 Comments

Good morning, everyone, welcome to another week and to yet another Monday edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, where this week we’re; Looking for shade.

I thought I was going to be stumped by the weather again, because it was overcast all day Saturday and, despite the oppressive heat, it was still very grey yesterday morning. But by lunchtime the sun had burned off all the clouds, so I went for a stroll along the river Yeo.

There really is nothing like the cool, dappled shade beneath trees on a riverbank.

One enterprising family has taken the design concept of “borrowed landscape” to its logical conclusion, by extending the garden right down to the water’s edge from their overhanging deck.

I’m very envious.

Further down the river there’s a deep pool where it turns a corner, making a great place for a rope swing over the water.

Where did you go to cool off at the weekend?

Hello there, how’s it going?

Time once again to give you your inspiration for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, whilst crossing my fingers that I don’t prompt the Cosmic Weather Jinx instead.

As we’ve been promised a scorching hot weekend, we’re going to spend some time; Looking for shade.

It doesn’t have to be hot where you are to take part, of course, you can interpret the challenge however you like.

So I’ll see you all back here on Monday for our weekly show and tell session, have a great weekend.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Close up/macro.

On By dalecooper57In photography12 Comments

Good morning, how’s it going on this fine summer Monday?

Time for The Cosmic Photo Challenge to bring some detail into your lives, with this week’s prompt; Close up/macro.

I offer a random selection of items from around the house: a plant pot; some experiments with water and a falling tomato; an eyeball; a crystal covered rock, a handful of peppercorns, some shells and the interior of a twisty drinking straw.

What did you get close to at the weekend?
