Good morning, welcome to the annual round up of festive illuminations on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, brought to you by the prompt; Lights, camera, Christmas!
I took a chilly, early evening stroll round Barnstaple town on Saturday to capture my yuletide sparkle-fest; with a couple of extra snaps I took whilst waiting to leave my road, hemmed in as I was by the local Round Table’s Santa sleigh.
Now let’s see what’s lighting up your world at the moment…

Good morning, I hope your Monday is proceeding agreeably and you’re looking forward to the festivities ahead with the appropriate level of rosy-cheeked enthusiasm.
This week our theme on The Cosmic Photo Challenge is the suitably seasonal; Christmas art.
I found a way to turn our tree into some rather fetching kaleidoscopic Christmas wreaths.
Now let’s see your artistic yuletide offerings…

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…

A very happy Monday to you, one and all, from The Cosmic Photo Challenge‘s Christmas grotto of festive images, themed today around the prompt; ‘Tis the season.
For my contribution, here are a few photos of our tree and some illuminated decorations in the dark, with which I did a spot of light painting, inspired by last week’s traffic trails.
How are your holiday preparations coming along, can we have a look..?
