dalecooper57 may or may not necessarily be my real name, although I couldn't swear to it. An aging hippy living in Devon, I do all this stuff (and I do mean everything - blog, animation, music, photography, the lot) on my lovely smartphone because I started like that, and now I'm too stubborn to get a computer. I don't have a theme, because I don't see why I'd want to talk about the same thing all the time, so why only write about one thing? So if you like eclecticism, humour, nonsense, opinionated ranting, and occasionally educational stuff, you've come to the right place. Any and all feedback is welcome, both positive and negative, on the content, style and overall look of the blog. You keep following me, I'll keep telling you stuff, ok? Cheers, dalecooper57

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

This week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge I asked you to illustrate the prompt; Choose your masks.

Chosen partly because masks are very topical right now, partly because I was staring at a mask on the wall while I was thinking up the prompt, partly because I’d just ordered a very funky LED face mask for Audrey’s birthday and partly so I could crowbar in a great bit of psychedelic space rock at the end of this post, it resulted in the following photographic offerings.

One of my collection of face coverings inspired a few images…

…while Audrey and her birthday present provided the terpsichorean illumination with which to do some light painting.

And to play us out, as promised, here’s Hawkwind with “Choose Your Masques”

Now let’s take a peek behind your mask…

Cosmic Photo prompt.

Good morning and welcome to the weekend, time for me to give you your prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Something topical for you to play with this week as, in line with the “new normal”, I’ve picked; Choose your masks.

Spin that any way you like, but come back to us on Monday with something fabulous to show off your creative skills.

Enjoy your time off, stay safe, see you in a couple of days.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

This week’s theme on The Cosmic Photo Challenge was set with no particular subject in mind, but with an idea how to execute the brief; A splash of colour.

I did a lot of careful fingertip erasing to achieve these eye-catching images, a few of blooms in the garden and our very own Audrey Rose ensconced in the floofy comfort of her armchair IT suite.

Now it’s your turn to bring some colour into our lives. Go on, you know you want to…

Cosmic Photo prompt.

I hope this wet weekend finds you all safe and well and ready to take part in another edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today is inspired by the prompt; A splash of colour.

How you interpret that suggestion is entirely up to you and your creative capabilities, but I’m sure your collective talent will rise to the occasion as always.

If you’ve never taken part before, why not make this your inaugural interaction with our friendly little photo club, it’s easy when you know how…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Welcome to another week and another edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which is brought to you by the theme of; Collages.

I have once more gone for the unusual end of the creative spectrum, with this slightly off the wall composition.

Where did your inspiration take you over the weekend, show us your offerings…

Cosmic Photo prompt.

I have decided that for today’s prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I am going to continue the artistic theme of the last couple of weeks and request that your submissions are; Collages.

They don’t have to be as peculiar as my surreal compositions, but I’d like you to try and combine some images into a whole which is more than the sum of its parts for Monday’s post.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Hello and welcome to a place both wonderful and strange, The Cosmic Photo Challenge, this week brought to you by the theme of; Surrealism.

Yesterday I spent a relaxing, Zen-like hour or so, carefully and precisely photographing, editing, positioning and erasing images, to produce the cryptic masterpiece you see before you.

So, what peculiar delights do you have to show us this week?
