The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Today’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge is entirely your call, because the prompt was; Freestyle.

I have a few random images from the last week to offer you, starting with a rather obliging small tortoiseshell butterfly, which posed long enough for me to get a nice close-up…

…followed by an interesting view of a spider in the shed and a shot of the local crows coming home to roost.

Then we come to the inevitable mucking about section; starting with a composite image of three lucky consecutive shots of a squirrel I captured, as he jumped out of the flowerbed…

…and ending with an edited version of a simple photo of my reflection in an empty picture frame.

Now I’m keen to see what you have in store for us this week, so let’s have a look, don’t be shy.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Hello there, welcome to another Monday morning post from The Cosmic Photo Challenge, this week brought to you by the prompt; From the inside.

As I sat in the shed with my coffee on Saturday morning, looking at the grey sky and listening to the rain dripping off the trees onto the roof, I realise I could draw my inspiration from the view right in front of me.

So I made these optical oddities.

Time to show us what drew your eye this week…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

For today on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I asked you to concentrate your creative talents on the prompt; Inversions.

I had no clear idea what I was going to do, just that it would involve some digital mucking about and it turned out to be…interesting.

Would it look strange if flowers and clouds changed places? Or if rivers swapped their traditional home for a more confined life on land? Could you fit a forest inside a church?

The answers to these somewhat unusual questions are now available, should you be the inquisitive sort…

Now let’s see your topsy turvy attempts to meet this week’s challenge…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

For this week’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, we’re all doing our own thing, because the prompt was; Freestyle.

I didn’t capture anything new at the weekend, mostly because of the horrible weather yesterday, so I decided to combine elements of 12 previous shots to create an artwork of composite imagery. See if you can spot them all.

Behold my radical redesign of Exeter cathedral.

Now it’s time for you to share your talents with the rest of the class, so, who’s first..?

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?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Hello and welcome to another Monday edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, for which I asked you to provide your own inspiration with the prompt; Snappers’ choice.

My initial plan was to see what Christmas baubles might look like with some of my recent shots in, like this…

…which is very lovely of course, but because I’m me, that idea soon morphed into this…

After which, I got rather…involved, shall we say, resulting in this surreal little animated spectacular.

What did you choose to showcase for us this week, let’s have a look, I’m intrigued…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Another weekend flies by and here we are, back at Monday morning.

But never fear, The Cosmic Photo Challenge is here to brighten your day with some organic aesthetics, derived from the prompt; Art from nature.

I used recent images captured in the woods, a nice sunset and my perfectly natural face, to create some arboreal-inspired artworks.

What artistic endeavours did nature inspire in you this week, let’s have a look at your creations…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Welcome to The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I hope any Halloween celebrations you had went well over the weekend. As the UK heads back into lockdown the eldritch atmosphere continues just a little longer, to encompass the theme of; Spooky.

There was no trick or treating for Audrey to partake of this year, but it didn’t stop her doing some strange makeup experiments, which I (un)naturally documented…

…all of which paranormal portraiture inspired me to capture some strange selfies of my own.

What did you find to creep us out on this cold November day..?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

For this week’s prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge I gave you the time sensitive task of capturing an image of; Sunday 14:00.

So wherever you were, whatever you were doing in the hour between 2 and 3 yesterday afternoon, that’s what your subject matter was.

I was out looking for a waterproof jacket for Audrey in our local Sports Direct warehouse, so I used some masked selfies, combined with shots of footballs and the roof ducting, to make these two photographic oddities.

What spontaneous photo opportunities did Sunday-at-two bring to you..?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

For this week’s edition of the photographic imaginarium which is The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I asked you to provide us with some pictures that satisfied the simple prompt; Inversions.

Upside down, inside out, back to front and the wrong way round, it’s amazing how much of a difference it can make to an image with just one or two elements reversed.

Take faces, for example, how would it look if you turned just the eyes and mouth upside down..?

…well, no, fair enough, maybe not that.

How about inverting the colour of a photo, then overlaying it with the original, then painstakingly erasing parts of one of them to make surreal juxtapositions?

Yeah, ok, let’s try that instead.

What did your visual adventures turn up this week? Show us your haul, we’d love to see…
