Cosmic Photo prompt.

On By dalecooper57In photographyLeave a comment

Finally, it’s the last day of work and I’ve got three whole weeks off! It’s been a long hard year but now we’re officially in the holiday season, so this week The Cosmic Photo Challenge is feeling festive.

So your prompt for the last regular challenge of 2023 is; Christmas art.

As ever, you can spin that any way you wish; whether it’s photos of seasonal art, or artistic images made from Yuletide-themed photos, or something else entirely, the choice is yours.

Have a great weekend, see y’all on Monday.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Festive illuminations.

On By dalecooper57In photography10 Comments

We’re finally entering the home straight of 2023, with only a week of work to go until the holidays, but before that there’s the small matter of The Cosmic Photo Challenge to attend to.

This week the theme is; Festive illuminations.

See if you can spot the not-so-traditional ornament on our tree (see video for an extra hint), which I made out of a piece of scrap aluminium from work.

Now let’s see your enlightened offerings…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: A cold start.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography15 Comments

Hello again, welcome to yet another Monday and the delightful prospect of another week at the grindstone, helpfully punctuated by The Cosmic Photo Challenge and this week’s theme; A cold start.

I’ve chosen a selection of images which, even if they don’t all give the immediate impression of “B-b-brrrrr!”, I assure you they were each captured at very low temperature, including the first one from Saturday morning.

Now let’s see your chilly choices for the challenge…

Good evening, just made it in time to give you your Friday prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which this week is themed around; A cold start.

Honestly, I’m hoping the Cosmic Photo Challenge Weather Jinx will now result in a lovely warm weekend, I’ve had enough of being cold all week at work, but that’s just wishful thinking.

So wrap up well and get out in the bracing December (hopefully) sunshine to capture some wintery images for Monday’s post.

Have a great weekend.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Through an opening.

On By dalecooper57In editing and effects, photography15 Comments

For The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week, we’re viewing our images; Through an opening.

While waiting for inspiration to strike, I noticed the heart-shaped openings in an oil burning candle holder in the living room. I thought they’d look good with more interesting views.

And I saw some very strange scenes through the opening of the shed doorway yesterday afternoon.

Now let’s see what flashes of inspiration informed your imagination over the weekend…

*edit: This was my original idea for the candle holder image.

Your Friday prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge is here to give your creative urges some direction, with this week’s theme; Through an opening.

Pretty self-explanatory, but as ever, take it in whatever way you wish and we’ll all get together again on Monday to compare notes.

Have a great weekend.

For this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, I’d like to see images which reflect the prompt; Any two colours.

So whatever you capture for Monday’s post must be (primarily) the two colours you choose, no matter how many photos you post.

It is, of course, entirely up to you whether the colours in your pictures are natural or creative edits…

Have a great weekend, see you all soon.

Good evening, I hope you are all doing ok, welcome to your Friday prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

I think it’s about time for some photographic mucking about, so we’ll return to our occasional theme of; Art for art’s sake.

The field is wide open for the choice of subject matter and style, so let your creative imaginings take flight and have a great weekend.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Autumn colours.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography11 Comments

Hello everyone, I hope your weekend went well, now let’s turn our attention to The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which this week is brought to you by the prompt; Autumn colours.

I dodged the rain yesterday and went for a walk in the country, just down the road from home, where the trees are displaying the full range of autumnal shades.

So, what seasonal treats do you have in store for us today..?
