Cosmic Photo prompt.

On By dalecooper57In photographyLeave a comment

Welcome to another rather late prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today is themed around the idea of; A cold start.

I don’t think that requires much imagination at this time of year, (yes, hello Southern hemisphere, I already see you raising your hand, but I’m sure you can come up with something inspired, all the same) so I look forward to seeing some chilly images for the undoubtedly cold start to next week.

Stay warm in the meantime, have a great weekend and I’ll see you all on Monday.

Cosmic Photo prompt: Art for art’s sake.

On By dalecooper57In photographyLeave a comment

Here we are again with your weekly dose of creative direction for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today I’m going to set as; Art for art’s sake.

I know it’s one which has an airing on a semi-regular basis, but I thought I’d give you all a chance to showcase your artistic leanings once more, before we head into the final month of 2021 and the usual annual roundup of the year.

So anything goes, just do whatever takes your fancy and provide us with some inspirational artwork to brighten our Monday.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Let’s hear it for the leaves.

On By dalecooper57In editing and effects, nature photography, photography12 Comments

This week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge was one last hurrah for autumn colour, photographically speaking, as your theme was; Let’s hear it for the leaves.

I took a stroll round the park yesterday, just as the morning sun was making everything golden. I found some interesting foliage around the war memorial, along with crisp carpets of leaves in every shade of red, orange and yellow.

Now let’s see what you captured for us over the weekend.

Good morning, everyone, sorry I’m late with your prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, but I’m sure you’re all used to that by now.

Today I’m going to squeeze the last autumnal photos out of you, as we seem to have reached the optimal time for colourful foliage; Let’s hear it for the leaves.

So I look forward to seeing some more seasonal hues on Monday, I hope you have a lovely weekend.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Interesting textures.

On By dalecooper57In editing and effects, photography11 Comments

This week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge I asked you to provide images inspired by the prompt; Interesting textures.

I decided to go for the artistic option and transformed three ordinary pictures of a whicker basket, some metal shavings and the grain of a piece of wood…

…into these metamorphic 3D illusions of themselves.

Now let’s see what you cooked up for us this week…

Hello there and welcome to another prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, this week brought to you by the theme; Interesting textures.

I think that’s pretty straightforward, but as ever you are free to interpret the prompt however you like, because it’s your own unique creative spin on the themes which makes the challenge so much fun to host.

I’ll see you on Monday to find out how that inspires you over the next couple of days, have a great weekend.

Good evening, it’s time for your weekly dose of creative guidance on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, today supplied by the theme; Look to the skies.

We’ve had similar prompts before, but it’s one of, if not the most universal view for all of us and you still never know what you’re going to see when you look up.

Have a great weekend, see you for the big reveal on Monday.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Silhouettes and shadows.

On By dalecooper57In photography19 Comments

Another new week, another new edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, this week themed around the prompt; Silhouettes and shadows.

Here are my offerings for today, including a rare shot of me wearing my photography stilts and a couple of edits of tree silhouettes, which I’m always fond of.

As a bonus, here’s the original version of some artwork for a new piece of music I released on Bandcamp for Halloween yesterday…

…and here is the track itself, which for this week only is FREE to download via the player below.

How did your weekend search for contrast pan out, can we have a look at the results..?

Hello, I hope your week has gone smoothly and you are all looking forward to a relaxing weekend. But before that, let’s give you this week’s inspiration for The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

For today’s prod in the direction of photographic fun, I’d like you to capture images of; Silhouettes and shadows.

As the nights draw in, there should be plenty of opportunities to illustrate that prompt, even with some of us getting an extra hour of sleep when the clocks going back on Saturday night.

So I’ll see you back here, at the new home of my weekly challenge, bright and early on Monday morning. Have a great weekend and I’ll catch you all on the other side.

Hello everybody, welcome to Monday and, more importantly, welcome to the new home of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, today themed around the prompt; Autumnal landscapes.
