The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

I set the theme for The Cosmic Photo Challenge on Saturday, hoping the weather would still be playing ball on Sunday evening, because the prompt was; At the end of the day.

Lucky for me it was a beautiful weekend, so my trip to Instow beach yesterday turned out to be just in time to catch the start of an almost perfect sunset.

I also captured some more star trails last night, which I thought I’d include as a bonus photo, despite the two and a half hour exposure technically just overrunning into this morning.

What did you see that was worth shooting this week, don’t be shy, let’s all have a look…

Cosmic Photo prompt.

Hello, hope your Saturday is going well, here’s your prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, late as usual.

Since we had a location-specific theme last week, today I’m giving you more temporally based inspiration, asking that your images are captured; At the end of the day.

I don’t think that requires much additional explanation, so I’ll leave you to it.

See y’all on Monday, have a great weekend.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

On this week’s adventure in inspired imagery with The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I asked you to capture your photos; In the big wide open spaces.

There isn’t anywhere round here which meets that description better than Exmoor National Park, so I took a drive up to the hills around Simonsbath and enjoyed the peace and quiet in glorious sunshine.

I even filmed another little video tour for you.

Did the weather look kindly upon your corner of the world this week? Come on, let’s have a look at what you found…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Monday again, so it’s time for our regular journey down the optical rabbit hole; Giving it the old collage try.

This week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge I asked you to do some photographic applique and make a collage from whatever images you liked.

I always enjoy the meticulous process of creating these odd little scenes, see if you can spot the seven additions to this picture from last week’s post.

What did you put together for our visual delectation this week?

Cosmic Photo prompt.

Apologies for the lateness of the hour, I’ve had a bit of a full week this week, but I have a fine idea for the theme of The Cosmic Photo Challenge today to make up for it. Having noted the popularity of our recent “artistic” prompt, I’m going with another freestyle concept; Giving it the old collage try.

You see what I did there?

Yes, it’s time to test your editing skills once more and combine multiple photos into one aesthetically pleasing whole image.

Any subject, any style, any processes or techniques, just mash ’em up and have some fun.

See y’all on Monday with a bit of photo-combo mumbo-jumbo, have a great weekend.

I’m hoping that most of you are beginning to thaw out a little now, so this week’s theme on The Cosmic Photo Challenge shouldn’t make it too hard on you when you look for; New life emerging.

Yes, it seems like Spring is well and truly here in our little corner of the world and I’m sure you can capture the great cycle of life rebooting where you are, too.

I’ll see you back here for the big reveal on Monday, but in the meantime enjoy your Easter break and cross your fingers for good weather.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Today’s creative inspiration for The Cosmic Photo Challenge was a simple theme, allowing you as much aesthetic scope as you liked to make; Art for art’s sake.

I went with one abstract image, made using photos of a wind chime and a peculiar mix of surrealism and pop art which began with an idea for a Hamlet-esque Yorick pose and ended up as something else entirely.

Where did the artistic muse lead you at the weekend, I’d love to see your results…

Cosmic Photo prompt.

This week on The Cosmic Photo Challenge we’re once again going freestyle, as I encourage you all to produce images which are just; Art for art’s sake.

Use your powers of creativity and imagination to provide us with pictures that are out of the ordinary, manufactured, morphed or manipulated to be more than a sum of their component parts.

So if there are any apps, filters or processes you fancied trying but have never got around to before, now’s your chance to throw caution to the wind and have some fun with your photos.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with on Monday, have a great weekend.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Good morning, or whatever time of day this post of The Cosmic Photo Challenge coincides with your Monday, I’m here to swap images illustrating the prompt; As the evenings start to lengthen.

I had to gamble on yesterday being photogenic enough to provide inspiration, since Saturday was grey and overcast, but fortunately it paid off.

I nipped down to the square and captured a few shots of deserted streets and the long bridge over the river Taw, just as the sun slipped below the horizon. A couple more sunsets taken during the week and (stretching the term “evening”, even by my flexible standards) a long exposure shot of star trails over the back garden.

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them”

Where did eventide find you over the weekend, would you like to show us..?
