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 The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week, I asked you to provide us with some images to illustrate the prompt; A room with a view.

I decided it was unfair that all the best views are from the inside, looking out, so…

How did your captures from the weekend shape up? Let everyone have a look, it’s easy when you know how…

Happy Monday, y’all, welcome to a hue-heavy edition of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I hope you are suitably rested for the week ahead and enjoyed your time off.

But before the tedious business of work gets in the way again, let’s get to the important stuff

With barely a break in the grim and miserable weather at the weekend, I had to rely on a few shots I took on last week’s walk, reedited to fit the prompt; A splash of colour.

What coloured your world this week? Time to show us whatcha got…

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.

I asked you to get creative for The Cosmic Photo Challenge this week, simply by setting the prompt; Abstract.

That could mean pretty much anything when it comes to mucking around with photos, because once I start I always get carried away.

Here’s the result of an hour or so of digital fiddling, brace yourselves…

So, what comparatively sane creations did you come up with at the weekend?

#1linerWeds: Wednesday Weirdness.

For this, One Liner Wednesday‘s journey into Weirdsville, we’re following a route which takes us through both music and art.

As well as making a deliciously gloopy video for my latest musical composition, I have been adding the Melodic Randomiser to my Instagram feed, where I have produced bespoke artwork for each day’s post and here are some of my favourites, along with a peculiar gif.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Welcome to yet another Monday, made more bearable by the arrival of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, with an ephemeral theme set by my transatlantic counterpart, K’lee; Beautiful spirits of the natural world.

Well, as I pointed out on Friday, the weather didn’t seem very conducive to nature photography at the weekend, so I once again resorted to manufacturing a composite image to fit the bill.

Using several existing pictures, (carefully blended and painstakingly removed from their original backgrounds with fingertip erasing) I constructed this somewhat surreal little menagerie on Instow beach, which previously contained no animals or birds whatsoever.

Ever the literal thinker, I have also given them a slightly ethereal translucency, to fit with the “spirit” element of the prompt.

K’lee is HERE with his spirited contribution.

But now you can show us what you bought to the party…

Alternatively, add a link to your blog in the comments of either mine or K’lee’s post and we’ll come and check out your entry.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

K’lee chose the theme for this week’s edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, picking one of his trademark “open to interpretation” prompts and encouraging us to capture; Pieces of a dream, in black and white.

Well, I think I’ve managed to meet K’lee’s brief with these four images.

Two are old favourites, to which I’ve added an extra layer of Twin Peaks-style black and white zigzags, reminiscent of The Black Lodge, the other two were made yesterday. Oh, and they all seem to contain eyes, I’m not sure why.

The new composite pictures were made from a landscape and a cloudscape, with elements of these four photos added to them.

So, here are my monochromatic dreamy offerings, I hope you like them.

You can see what K’lee dreamed up HERE.

But now let’s see what fantasies you captured for us.

Edit (19/07/18): I am adding an extra one, which I was mucking about with for this post and thought it fitted nicely with the prompt.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Welcome to an extremely colourful edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, this week curated by K’lee and based around his prompt; Cosmically created colour.

I had a flash of inspiration yesterday and took some photos of Audrey’s sand sculptures…

…along with some family portraits; then superimposed the latter over the former and carefully erased all the exposed skin, resulting in these brightly coloured and slightly surreal images.

You can find out what K’lee has to offer, HERE.

But now it’s time for you to add a splash of colour to our day.

Stream of Consciousness Sunday: Seasonal seasonings.

I’m cheating slightly for this week’s SoCS post, because I was never going to get round to writing anything today but I had a flash of inspiration after seeing Linda G Hill‘s prompt;

” “season.” Use the word “season,” add a suffix to it, or write about one. Bonus points if the first and last word of your post is a season or a seasoning. Extra bonus points if you have pictures.”

Seasons, huh?

That leaves all sorts of possibilities open to me, including making something seasonal (autumn leaves, as it happens) out of smoked paprika, cayenne pepper and turmeric, i.e. seasonings…
