Welcome to the new week and to The Cosmic Photo Challenge, it’s time to find out if pictures can be just as interesting with just; A splash of colour.
I gave four new shots and two old ones the colour splash fingertip erasing treatment and they’re all rather eye-catching.
Now let’s have a look at your colourful creations…

For The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week we are capturing the twilight hours, for the prompt; As the nights draw in.
Just the two shots from me today, although they do represent several hours worth of photography between them.
The first is a composite image of three moments in time from Saturday.
12noon 4pm 7pm
The second one is a shot of the night sky, taken with my phone mounted on the car windscreen; a long exposure of two hours, which includes the flight path of an aircraft and a few other celestial bodies.
What did the evening reveal to you at the weekend?

Once again The Cosmic Photo Challenge is here to kick-start your Monday, with all today’s images inspired by; One thing inside another.
I was very nearly beaten by my own challenge this week, but I managed to crowbar the theme far enough open to cram in these four shots.

Did you fare any better in your search for inspiration?

There’s a distant look in our eyes for this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, because the theme I set on Friday was; Over the hills and far away.
I managed to catch a gap in the rain on Saturday, to go walking up one side of the v-shaped, double river valley which makes up the wider Barnstaple landscape.
The weather was too grey and uninteresting to provide anything very inspiring, but here are some views of the misty Devon countryside around our home, including panoramas which feature three different sets of distant hills.
Were the elements kinder to you at the weekend? Show us what you captured for your homework, it’s your turn to shine…

Welcome to the week, everyone, time for The Cosmic Photo Challenge again, today inspired by the prompt; In the evening.
I took a stroll along the River Taw on Saturday, about an hour before sunset, capturing the softening evening light and some nice reflections, I even managed to turn the sun into a street lamp.
Now let’s see the photographic fruits of your weekend creative endeavours…

Hello there, the very best of Mondays to you. Today on The Cosmic Photo Challenge we’re turning our attention upwards again, because this week; The sky’s the limit.
There are a lot of fabulously fluffy cloud formations around at the moment, which have combined rather nicely with a vapour trail in one of my shots. In fact it made such a nice shot, I used it for the cover art on my latest EP*, which you can check out by clicking on the photo in question, or at this link.
What did you see up in the great blue yonder at the weekend?

Speaking of new music, here’s another brand spanking new audio visual project I finished just yesterday. I couldn’t begin to guess what musical genre you’d fit this into, but I’ve called it Return Of The Malevolent Seven and it’s a bit of an epic.
Good morning, welcome to Monday and to this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today is themed around the prompt; From underneath.
We had a long wait at Heathrow on Saturday as my daughter, Audrey, was off to America for a month on her own.
While I waited and drank monstrously expensive coffee, I captured some of the airport architecture.
Here’s a shot from under the trees, which are also underneath a glass canopy; giant hanging sculptures in the departure hall; some creative lighting installations surrounding a ceiling fan; an interesting view from the mirrored roof of a lift and the view through the glass wall.
What did you look up at this weekend?

Hello everyone (including any neighbours I met on the campsite), welcome to this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, once again brightening your Monday with eclectic images from around the world.
I set the theme on Friday with full knowledge of the fact I was attending Leopallooza festival over the weekend, thereby giving myself a slight advantage when I set you a theme of; Festivals.
So to make it fair I gave you a wild card Freestyle option to post whatever you like, in case you didn’t have any appropriately festive material to hand.
Friday dawned bright and sunny, boding well for pitching the tent, so I made an early start and after arriving at the site before the gates opened, was actually the very first person on the campsite.
I made a beeline for the high ground and got the tent up on my prime piece of real estate before anyone else could stake their claim, nicely sheltered by a tall hedge with a view across the whole site. It wasn’t long before some fellow campers arrived to complete a very convivial little neighborhood and after a coffee and a chat I went exploring.
On Saturday the rains came. And they kept coming. And they brought the mud.
It cheered up again on Sunday, but the mud remained and it was only the weather which needed cheering up anyway, I didn’t see an unhappy face all weekend, the atmosphere was great.
And they have the best festival bar I’ve ever seen. It has sofas! It has armchairs! It has a view of the arena!
I didn’t spend the whole weekend in there, honest.
Here are some of my highlights from what was sadly the very last Leopallooza festival, although there are rumours that it may return in some form soon.
{There’s an expanded version of this post on my other blog and you can see it HERE}
Festive or freestyling, which did you choose this week? Drop your links in the comments and show us what you have to offer…

Another blink-and-you-miss-it weekend gone and another interminable week stretches ahead of us, but not before The Cosmic Photo Challenge brightens our Monday, hooray!
Today we’re revisiting a theme I find useful, because it’s one that makes you think more carefully about picking your vantage point, when you’re taking; Three shots from one spot.
I have a trio of triptychs for you, all taken yesterday on a stroll along the river into Barnstaple. I was originally going to post the shots individually, but I like the way the three perspectives fit next to each other.
How did your search for sets of three go? Check out the simple steps below, then you’ll be in the know and can have a go…

BONUS CONTENT: Here’s a warped video tour of my walk, accompanied by some equally wonky noises…
It’s a trawl through the archives this week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, after a bout of festival nostalgia inspired me to set the prompt as; Music on film.
Here’s a small selection of the many images of musical folk I’ve captured over the years.
Where did your musical muse lead you at the weekend?
