K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

It’s the first post in K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge for the new year, with the theme I picked back in the 2010s; Welcome to the ’20s.

Last Wednesday, Rhonda and Audrey joined in with the unwritten tradition of mad English people down the ages; going for a “bracing walk” on New Year’s Day.

In the rain.

And fog.

On the beach, obviously.

It was actually a very nice stroll, just as the tide was starting to come in at Instow, from the blustery dunes to the shallow waterline, all shrouded in a foggy blanket.

I even found the inspiration for a little digital mucking about to start this year’s photographic ball rolling.

K’lee has posted his New Year images HERE.

Now you can show us how you got into the new decade.

It’s Friday…isn’t it?…I think it’s Friday, it’s getting hard to tell without any meaningful routine to remind me where we are.

But it’s back to normal on Monday, when we shall be indulging in the first K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge of the year, the prompt for which is my responsibility and I have chosen to start off easy, with; Welcome to the ’20s.

So you can show us how you saw in the new decade, (I just know some of you must have some lovely firework shots) or come up with your own spin on the theme, as always it’s up to you.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Welcome to the final K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge of 2019, where we are once again showcasing some of our favourite shots of the year, as per K’lee’s suggestion at the weekend.

Here, in no particular order of preference, are a selection of images which caught my eye as I scrolled through twelve months worth of photos this morning.

Have a wonderful New Year celebration, whatever you’re doing and we’ll see you back here for more challenges in the coming decade.

See the best of K’lee’s best HERE later.

Now it’s over to you.

We’ve almost made it to the end of another solar rotation folks, so it’s time for the last edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge of 2019.

K’lee has given us one more opportunity to share images that sum up our year, or maybe it’s just that one special shot that stands out in the memory, the choice is yours.

You’ve all come up with some beautiful pictures over the last twelve months and we’re looking forward to seeing what your 2020 vision will be, so keep up the good work.

In a slight departure from the traditional Monday post, I’m going to leave this edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge open, so to speak, so you can Show us your Christmas whenever you fancy during the week.

My Christmas

K’lee’s link is HERE for you to “Ooooh” and “Aaaahhhh” over.

In the meantime, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and I look forward to seeing some festive images soon.

For today’s prompt on K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge it’s finally time to get festive, as I am asking you all to; Show us your Christmas.

Since most of us will be on a break from work, we’re going to give you all week to post your photos and let us in on your festivities in whatever way you like.

So however you celebrate in your part of the world, have a wonderful yuletide season and we’ll see you on the other side.

Merry Christmas to one and all!

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

K’lee’s prompt for this week’s K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge insisted that we; Colour my world and I am fairly sure that he’s a big fan of blues, so I plundered the archives for some examples of my bluest images and reworked a couple, too.

You’ll see K’lee’s true colours HERE later.

Now it’s time for your colourful contributions…

K’lee has chosen the theme for this weeks edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, so your mission (should you decide to accept it) for the weekend is as follows; Colour my world.

That’s right, pick a colour (or colours) which somehow inform, inspire or improve your existence and place them centre stage for Monday’s post.

It’s as simple as that.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

For this week on K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge I asked you all to Showcase yourself and give us some of your greatest hits to inspire our collective creativity.

I chose to follow my own suggestions; I searched through the last twelve of months of photos to see what jumped out at me; picked another shot which I’ve always been really pleased with and added a few others that fall broadly into the “mucking about” category.

The image from this year that caught my eye wasn’t a hugely spectacular or technically complicated one, but the composition is nicely balanced and it’s a great shot of Audrey from one of our cycling/photography outings in the summer.

I have taken a lot photos of birds in flight, capturing action shots of gulls and ducks feeding at our local wildfowl reserve, which is where I took this second picture a few years ago and it’s one I am still rather proud of.

Which brings us to a more adventurous form of the photographic art; my experiments with digital editing and manipulation from over the years.

Try not to have nightmares…

K’lee’s selection is bound to be simply the best and is now HERE for your perusal.

But now we’d love to see what you have cherry picked from your archives for us.

Cosmic Photo prompt.

Ah, the nights are drawing in earlier and the prompts are getting posted later, it must be nearly Christmas on K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, but we haven’t reached the festive photos just yet.

Although, come to think of it, this is traditionally the time of year for retrospectives and “best of” compilations, so let’s jump on that bandwagon for today’s theme.

I’m setting the prompt for Monday’s post as; Showcase yourself.

Show us the best of your best; whether it’s a favourite photo of 2019, an image you’ve always been especially proud of, the result of trying a new editing technique, or just a picture you’ve never had an excuse to post before.

Give us a gallery of excellence to start next week and let us see something amazing, it’s as easy as…well, you know the drill.
