The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Changing seasons.

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography7 Comments

Welcome to autumn on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, where this week we’re celebrating; Changing seasons.

(I left the theme intentionally broad, to accommodate our friends in southern climes)

I returned to the small community woodland above Goodleigh village, to capture the fruits and colours of autumn on a fresh and sunny afternoon.

I’d love to see what seasonal sights you found in the changing landscape where you are, it’s really easy to take part…

Hello there, welcome to this week’s special bank holiday Monday multimedia bonus edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today is inspired by the prompt; I’ll see you in the trees.

Our run of extraordinarily fine weather in the UK continued right through the weekend, so early yesterday morning I took tranquil walk around Venn Quarry Woods in the already warm summer sunshine.

You, too can enjoy a moment of peace and quiet in this woodland wonderland, complete with relaxing birdsong, via the embedded Instagram player below.

*BONUS CONTENT*

I had quite a musical weekend (what with the release of my new album of original material), including making this glitchy electronica audio-visual piece, incorporating the birds of Venn Quarry Woods on vocals.

I’m sure you have some tree-mendous photos to fit the bill, so why not join in, it couldn’t be easier…

On By dalecooper57In nature photography, photography11 Comments

Hello there, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend, I’m looking forward to your contributions for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, based on the prompt; An Easter walk.

I went for a pleasant stroll in the woods just a few minutes from home and followed the river through drifts of wild garlic, celandine and wood anemones.

Now you can show us the scenery on your Easter walk…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Show us your Christmas.

On By dalecooper57In photography10 Comments

Hello there, I hope your festivities went as planned and you all had a lovely day. As usual we are celebrating Christmas today instead, because Rhonda had a twelve hour shift yesterday, so we’ve just bumped everything up a day.

As a result, I don’t have any “action shots” of Christmas happening, so to speak, but I do have a lot of photos, nonetheless.

I went for a Christmas Eve walk at Watersmeet, which is the National Trust property near Lynton and Lynmouth, an area  the Victorians described as “little Switzerland”.

I took so many, most of them form a special post on my other blog which you can peruse HERE, but here’s just a small selection to whet your appetite for the spectacular scenery of Exmoor.

Please go and check out the remaining photos, it really is a beautiful place.

Once again, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you, I look forward to more of your fabulous photos in 2023.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Out of the way places.

On By dalecooper57In editing and effects, nature photography, photography10 Comments

Hello and welcome to The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which this week is inspired by the prompt; Out of the way places.

I took a chilly walk around the community woodland at Bratton Flemming, just outside Barnstaple yesterday, capturing the last of the autumn colours and enjoying the peace and quiet.

What did you find, away from the hustle and bustle of modern life?
