The Cosmic Photo Challenge: My indoor space.

On By dalecooper57In editing and effects, photography11 Comments

Hello there, it’s time for your weekly dose of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today is built around the prompt; My indoor space.

Just the one image from me this week, an update on the golden pathos vine I’ve featured before and I mentioned we were going to have it climbing the wall on hooks.

Well, we do have it on the wall on hooks, but it’s possible that not all of the versions of it here are actually there, if you know what I mean…

Now, let’s see what you brought to the picture party this week.

I think it’s only fair, since The Cosmic Photo Challenge concentrated on exterior areas last week, that today the prompt is; My indoor space.

Where do you relax and feel the most comfortable? What room are you especially fond of? Are you mad on houseplants?

Give us the inside view and share your internal oasis in Monday’s post.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: My outside space.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography12 Comments

This week’s mission on The Cosmic Photo Challenge was for you to capture some images which illustrate the prompt; My outside space.

We only have a small space, but we make the most of it and one of my favourite elements of it isn’t even in our garden. Its the trees that line the back fence, part of the woods which were here before the estate was built; at this time of year with their new foliage at its best, they add a whole new dimension to our extra outdoor room.

Now let’s have a look at your little oasis…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: In the trees.

On By dalecooper57In photography15 Comments

What a beautiful weekend it was, the perfect weather to be out taking pictures for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which is brought to you this week by the prompt; In the trees.

I love this time of year, when the leafy canopies are opening and whole areas of open ground, previously covered in bare sticks once again become green cathedrals of dappled shade and birdsong. And the good part is, I only have to walk two minutes down the road and I’m in this small slice of arboreal paradise.

Where did your weekend wanderings take you..?

For your prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week, I’m returning to a favourite subject, since they have begun to look rather lovely again recently; In the trees.

I hope you enjoy your time seeking out some arboreal delights for Monday’s post, have a great weekend.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Faces.

On By dalecooper57In editing and effects, photography18 Comments

On Friday, for this week’s optical adventure on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I asked you to consider the prompt; Faces.

I experimented with interesting ways of using the panoramic feature on my phone’s camera, giving some rather unusual results.

Each of these was taken using a single exposure.

Do you have anything less nightmare-inducing to share with us?

On The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week, I’d like you to show us something which is inspired by the prompt; Faces.

I will leave you to interpret that in whatever way you choose, have a great weekend.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Public art.

On By dalecooper57In arts, nature photography, photography6 Comments

For your mission on The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week, I asked you to go in search of; Public art.

I gambled on the weather being nice on Sunday and was rewarded, after a drizzly start, with glorious sunshine in which to once again explore Broomhill Sculpture Gardens.

You may remember previous posts from this fantastical, artistical, woodland wonderland, to which I love to periodically return, watching it evolve. I can’t possibly fit all the photos I took yesterday in this post, so watch out for the full set on another blog not too far away, coming soon.

How did your art safari go at the weekend? Show us the results and share the love, it’s easy when you know how…

It’s a rather grey Saturday morning and, as I wait to see if the weather is going to improve, I’ll give you your prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge which this week is; Public art.

Now, I don’t have a specific idea in mind just yet, but I was telling someone about Damien Hirst’s Verity statue in Ilfracombe the other day when the idea for a theme occurred to me. I think most of us have access to municipal art and sculpture these days, (murals, statues, mosaics, street art, etc) so it would be interesting to see what local examples of publicly displayed art you have round your way.

Good luck with your weekend photographic homework, I’ll be back for a show and tell with the whole class on Monday, have a good couple of days off.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Three views from one spot.

On By dalecooper57In editing and effects, nature photography, photography14 Comments

Welcome to an Easter bank holiday edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, this week themed around my last minute prompt idea; Three views from one spot.

I chose to climb one particular hill overlooking Barnstaple to take my trio of pictures, as it currently has a bright yellow coating of rapeseed flowers. In fact I took two sets while I was up there, the first three of which make up one composite image.

This complete 360° view is created by carefully overlapping three panoramic shots, taken in different directions from the same vantage point.

The second set of three were taken further up the track towards that phone mast in the distance, once again all captured while standing on one spot.

Hmm, I wonder what happens when you take a panoramic shot vertically…

Was three the magic number for you this week? Let’s see what you came up with.
