Cosmic Photo prompt.

Whoopsie, I forgot to post your prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge yesterday, so here it is; Shooting through.

I think we might have done something similar before, the idea is to capture your pictures by taking them through something else. That could be as simple as shooting through a window, or through a hole in a wall, down a tube, etc…

Have fun with that, have a good weekend and I’ll see you on Monday.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: The ground beneath your feet.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography14 Comments

Good morning, I hope you had a good weekend, now it’s time to let the pictures do the talking on The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Today’s theme might be a little prosaic, but not all challenges have to be glamorous and after all, where would you all be without; The ground beneath your feet?

My shots were all captured on my morning walks in the countryside, where I chose to document the surfaces of the various lanes and pathways that make up my regular route.

What discoveries did you make as you were looking down this week..?

Hello, would you like something creative to do over the weekend? Well The Cosmic Photo Challenge is here to help, because it’s time for your weekly prompt.

For Monday’s post we’re going to be focusing our attention downwards, to; The ground beneath your feet.

Make what you will of that and have a great weekend while you’re at it, I’ll see you on Monday. Bye for now.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Coast.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography16 Comments

Good morning, welcome to The Cosmic Photo Challenge on this slightly less scorching Monday, starting your week with a trip to the; Coast.

I took a walk along Woolacombe beach on Saturday, where I eventually found enough scenery (mostly) unencumbered by tourists to provide this selection.

Now let’s see your coastal views from the weekend…

Hi there, happy Friday to you all, here’s your prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week; Coast.

Fairly straightforward, I know, but if you happen to be somewhere landlocked, then lakeshore or riverbank will do just as well.

Have a great weekend, see you on Monday.

Good afternoon, it’s Friday again already, so it must be time for your prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

I think this week we’ll stay in the shade and contemplate; The art of houseplants.

Now, I think there are two obvious ways to  take this one; either that growing houseplants is an art, so show us some of your favourites; or that we’re making art from houseplants, so you could get creative with editing your indoor horticulture.

Either way, let’s start the week with a frenzy of fascinating photographic foliage.

Have a great weekend, see you on Monday.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Close up.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography14 Comments

Hello from the sweltering oven that is the UK, welcome to the *checks notes* 239th edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which I’m using as an excuse for my inability to come up with a more original prompt this week than; Close up.

I have managed to plan a route for my daily walk that is mostly shaded by areas of woodland surrounding my neighbourhood, so my photos were taken either out walking or before the sun roasted everything in the garden (or “lunchtime” as I think it’s now called), including this year’s first flowering of my spectacular Stargazer lily.

There are eighteen buds like this on the single stemmed Stargazer lily

What did you focus on for this week’s challenge..?

Oops, almost forgot to post your prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which this week, due to a lack of imagination on my behalf, is; Close up.

I’ll try to think of something more inspiring next week, promise.   ;~}

Have a great weekend, see you on Monday.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Shadows.

On By dalecooper57In arts, editing and effects, photography14 Comments

Hi there, welcome to your Monday pick-me-up, The Cosmic Photo Challenge, here to usher in a new week of photographic creativity to take your mind off the daily grind.

This week we’re concentrating on a lack of light, more specifically; Shadows.

After the blisteringly hot weather we’ve been having, I didn’t think I’d have any problems capturing some nice, stark silhouettes over the weekend, but the skies remained stubbornly overcast and I thought I was going to have to resort to archive pictures.

But it occurred to me that photos taken at night are chock full of shadows, in fact they’re mostly shadows, so I took a few of those in the garden.

Then, on Sunday afternoon, the sun made a brief appearance for about ten minutes, reflecting off windscreens of cars parked outside the window. This created an overlapping collage of shadows, made from the net curtains, a window hanging and a spider plant, all cast on my living room wall. After a spot of fiddling with contrast and brightness, I had some wonderfully arty images.

These are all single exposures, the ones at night were just a bit longer.  ;~}

I even appear as a reflection in the picture frame

What shadowy activities did you get up to since we last got together? Go on, you can tell us…

Good evening, here’s your Cosmic Photo Challenge prompt for this week.

For Monday’s post, I’d like to see pictures on the theme of; Shadows.

That’s it, nice and simple (extra points for anyone with a photo of Hank Marvin), have a great weekend.
