The Cosmic Photo Challenge

Friday’s lack of inspiration carried over into the weekend, so this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge is less spectacular than usual, featuring as it does; Ordinary everyday objects.

Among the objects I ordinarily see every day are ornaments in the living room – gifts from various friends and a clay lion Audrey made – along with the string lattice lampshades, with which I made some interesting abstract art.

What caught your eye around the house at the weekend, let’s have a look…?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Good morning everyone, I hope your Monday is going as planned so far, welcome to The Cosmic Photo Challenge, this week prompted by the theme; Houseplants.

I’ll be honest, it was a spur of the moment suggestion when I realised I’d missed even my usually late deadline for Friday’s Saturday’s post, but I’m quite pleased with the photos I captured of our indoor greenery, including one “artistic interpretation”.

Now let’s see the results of your search for vegetation to visualise, it’s easy to do…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Good Monday to you!

I hope you all had a good weekend and found some time to get out in the sunshine for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, allowing you to; Focus on the flowers for this week’s theme.

Here are some more images of the gorgeous blooms at Marwood Hill Gardens.

Now it’s time to show and tell, let’s see what you have for us…

Cosmic Photo prompt.

For today’s prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I’m not straying too far from last week’s theme, since it looks like we might be in for the last burst of decent weather for a while.

It seems as good an excuse as any to capture nature’s late summer floral display for posterity, before the petals fall and the leaves start to turn brown. So for Monday’s post, let’s all; Focus on flowers.

I hope the weekend weather cooperates in your neck of the woods, I’ll see you all back here with some blooming lovely photos to start the week.

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.

For today’s edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I asked you to capture your photos; Out in the country.

I nearly lost my gamble with the weather by waiting until Sunday to go out taking pictures, but I managed to dodge the showers for long enough to plod up Codden Hill.

I took in the spectacular views (five counties are visible on a clear day) from the foot of the memorial Jeremy Thorpe erected to his wife, Caroline in 1971, which you can share by watching the short video below.

Where did your search for rural photographic inspiration take you at the weekend?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Hi there, welcome to Monday and also to The Cosmic Photo Challenge, which this week is all about what happens when you; Drain the colours.

I chose to showcase the *lack of* beautiful colours of some of the flowers in the garden.

But before that…

…I have been posting my challenge photos on Photo Sans Frontieres on Facebook, where I have recently encouraged group members to get involved. Well I am happy to say that this week I can include a fabulous shot of a cast-off dragonfly skin (known as the exuvia) from new member, Clive Wilson.

Now let’s see your monochromatic offerings…

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

It was a very fortuitous theme I picked for The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week, since the only place the temperature was bearable over the weekend was; In the trees.

I took Audrey down to Rock Park to meet her friends yesterday morning, taking the opportunity to capture some greenery at the same time as enjoying the much-needed shade. (The somewhat vertiginous effect of a few shots is due to the use of a wide angle lens)

Now let’s see what arboreal delights you found for us to marvel at…

Cosmic Photo prompt.

Just about made it for a Friday prompt on The Cosmic Photo Challenge and it looks like it’s going to be a nice weekend, so for this week’s theme I’ll see you; In the trees.

Let’s all (safely) get out in the sunshine and capture the best nature has to offer in the leaf and branch department, then meet back here on Monday to compare photographic notes, ok?

The Cosmic Photo Challenge.

For your mission on The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week, I asked you to provide images based on the theme of; Reflections.

The reason I chose this prompt was because I had the dubious pleasure of putting together a large and complicated self-assembly wardrobe in Audrey’s fairly small bedroom last week, which features two equally large mirrored sliding doors.

Anyway, having spent all that time and effort (and swearing) building the thing, I thought I may as well take advantage of the new wall of mirrors to capture some interesting pictures.

Using Audrey’s various small make-up mirrors and her fancy mood lighting, I managed to create some agreeably head-scratching optical puzzles with my one phone and no editing,

Did the weekend catch you in reflective mood, show us your results, don’t be shy…
