The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Lights, camera, action.

On By dalecooper57In photography10 Comments

Good morning, everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend and that you’re now ready for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which this week is based on the prompt; Lights, camera, action.

As I admitted when I posted the theme on Friday, this week’s challenge was a bit of a dealers choice, because I already knew the photos I’d be using.

Melody and I went to see the excellent Wille And The Bandits in Exeter last Thursday and the shots I captured met the “lights” part of the brief so nicely, I couldn’t resist setting the prompt accordingly.

“Thank you and goodnight”

What did the light of inspiration illuminate for you this week..?

Hello again, it’s time to set this week’s theme on The Cosmic Photo Challenge and I think I should say right now that I have an ulterior motive for making today’s prompt; Lights, camera, action.

You can pick whichever elements you like for your inspiration (obviously cameras will be involved), so anything featuring light or lights and all kinds of action shots can be included.

Have a great weekend, see you all back here for Monday’s post.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: First hints of Spring.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography8 Comments

Hello there, how are you all on this fine Monday morning? All the better for seeing The Cosmic Photo Challenge is here to welcome you to a new week, I’m sure.

This week’s prompt is a season preview, so to speak; First hints of Spring.

I took a walk through the woods in Whiddon Valley, where I captured some early Spring flowers and the carpet of wild garlic along the riverbanks.

And here’s one from the garden.

What did you see that foretells the upcoming change of season..?

Good evening, it’s time to give you your prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which I hope won’t fall foul of the weather, as I’ve chosen; First hints of Spring.

Feel free to tailor the theme to your own hemisphere, should a different season be more appropriate and I’ll catch you again on Monday.

Have a great weekend, everyone.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Portals.

On By dalecooper57In photography10 Comments

Hooray, it’s Monday! Not your usual response to the start of the week? Well maybe that’s because you haven’t had The Cosmic Photo Challenge to brighten your day.

Today we’re taking a look at those entries, exits and throughways which could be described as; Portals.

I was in town on Saturday, in the glorious sunshine, where I captured a baker’s dozen of doors, windows, gates and arcades, including a portal to a world of musical discoveries; the wonderful Discovery Records, run by local legend, Matt “the hat” Poulton.

What exciting entrances did you find for us at the weekend..?

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, here’s your Cosmic Photo Challenge prompt for this week.

For Monday’s post, I’d like to see some images which illustrate the theme of; Portals.

So, to clarify; any kind of doors, windows, gates, stiles, tunnels and bridges qualify, and of course if you know the whereabouts of a glowing eldritch portal to another dimension, that would also be allowed.

Have a fabulous weekend, see y’all again soon.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: At the shoreline.

On By dalecooper57In photography11 Comments

Hello there, I hope you had a nice weekend and that Monday hasn’t come as too much of a shock, but if so, The Cosmic Photo Challenge is here to ease you into the week.

Today we’re on the water’s edge, for the prompt; At the shoreline.

I took a walk along Woolacoombe beach on Saturday afternoon, when we had our allotted ration of hazy sunshine for the weekend.

Where did you go to capture your water-adjacent pictures this week..?

Good afternoon, the end of the week is in sight and it’s time to set your homework for The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

This week I’m gambling with the Cosmic Challenge Weather Jinx by setting the theme as; At the shoreline.

Fingers crossed for a nice day tomorrow, because it’s horrible outside right now. I hope you have a great weekend and I’ll catch you all again on Monday.

Bye for now.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Old buildings.

On By dalecooper57In photography12 Comments

Good morning, welcome to another week, bringing the ever reliable Monday highlight of The Cosmic Photo Challenge to brighten your day.

This week’s theme was simple and to the point, requiring you to provide pictures of; Old buildings.

I was in Sussex at the weekend and I took a walk around the village of Rotherfield, with its distinctive red brick and tile fronted houses. The church dates back to 1060 and there is a yew tree in the graveyard which is purported to be a thousand years older than that and is now supported by props and chains.

I also paid a visit to my all time favourite pub, my old local in Crowborough, The Wheatsheaf, first licensed as a public house in 1853 and still going strong.

So, over to you, what aging architectural offerings do you have for us..?

Hello and a very happy Valentine’s Day to you all, I hope you get what (or who) you wish for, but for now it’s time to set the theme for The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

This week I’d like to see pictures which illustrate the prompt; Old buildings.

Nothing to explain there, I don’t think, so I look forward to seeing some aged architecture on Monday. Have a great weekend, see you again soon.
