Cosmic Photo prompt.

It’s the first of our new sub-feature today, on K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, wherein one of our lovely followers chooses the theme for Monday’s post. Or, in the case of this inaugural audience participation prompt, two of our lovely followers.

Eklastic proposed we challenge y’all to write a poem to go with your photos and Frank inspired us with his suggestion of; Misty memories.

So we’d like you all to try to come up with photographic and poetic riffs on the themes of memories, mist, fog, memories of someone called Misty in the fog, we’re easy, just follow the simple directions below and we’ll see watcha have to offer at the start of the week.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend, cheers!

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

I was in charge of setting the theme for this week’s K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, giving you the prompt of; The end of summer.

*****DON’T FORGET: There’s still time for y’all to submit your suggestions for next week’s challenge.*****

There are many directions in which we could take that idea, but I took my inspiration from the busy buzzing of insects in the garden. There were countless bees and hoverflies rushing around to make the most of the weekend’s glorious sunshine, as they collected what remaining pollen they could find. I also spotted a tiny snail, sunbathing on one of our final gazania flowers.

See just how summery K’lee is HERE and be amazed by his creative stylings.

Now it’s your turn to make this drizzly Monday sunny and bright…

Cosmic Photo prompt.

There’s a special announcement attached to today’s prompt for K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, but we’ll get to that in good time, first it’s time for your weekly inspiration.

I’ve chosen the theme this week and I thought I’d pick one to go with the (hopefully) nice weather we’ve been promised over the weekend, just in case it’s the last chance we get; The end of summer.

So see if you can catch some fading blooms, atmospheric sunsets or warmly lit ritual scenes to illustrate the changing of the seasons to beautify Monday’s post.

And now it’s time to enlist all y’all’s help in coming up with next week’s prompt!

Yes, K’lee and I are opening up the field for any of you, our lovely contributors, to suggest a theme for a week today; so see what you can come up with and the two of us will pick our favourite (K’lee, we could discuss our choice via Twitter…?) and set that for next week’s challenge.

If it’s a successful feature, we’re hoping to do this once a month, so everyone should get a chance to pick their own ideas.

Please feel free to leave your suggestions on this post or Monday’s, here or over at K’lee’s place, we’re eager to see what you think up.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

I confess to being a little short of inspiration for this week’s edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, despite K’lee’s excellent prompt; Architecture digestif.

In the end I created a couple more imaginary buildings, made from a selection of the architectural styles around Barnstaple.

K’lee has constructed his post for you HERE.

Now it’s your turn to build on his prompt…

Cosmic Photo prompt.

K’lee is at the controls this week, dictating the theme for K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge by providing us with this unique prompt; Architecture digestif.

So find a strong foundation for Monday’s post and build yourself a photographic edifice to amaze and astound us all at the start of the week.

Here’s how you take part…

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

For today’s edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge we are looking for optical repetition of some sort, prompted as we are by my theme of; Reflections.

I resisted the temptation to use editing tools to produce the required mirroring this time and used…yes, you guessed it, actual mirrors.

I produced a few images, some of which I think have an almost sci-fi feel to them, using a large wall mirror and a small pivoting one on a stand, (with a little digital mucking about for added effect) see what you think…

See how much of reflective mood K’lee is in HERE.

Now you can show us how you did this week, it’s easy, just follow these few simple steps…

Cosmic Photo prompt.

It’s my turn to give a prod to your creativity this week on K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, which I have chosen to do by recycling a previous prompt; Reflections.

So find yourself something shiny or shimmering to capture a photographic facsimile in for Monday’s big reveal and start the week in a reflective mood.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge

Today’s bank holiday edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge is brought to you by K’lee’s prompt of; Colour me cosmic.

I decided that our outing with Biff, an old friend who visited for Audrey’s birthday, would make a fine and colourful subject for the challenge, because we went to the Gnome Reserve.

This charming place is a labour of love, created and run by an equally charming and slightly eccentric lady called Ann Fawcett Atkin, who has been providing a sanctuary for gnomes from all over the world for 40 years.

She is an accomplished artist and gardener, with her artworks on sale in the house, from where you collect your gnome hat before touring the reserve (so as not to make the residents uncomfortable) and where you can also buy a traditional Devon cream tea, freshly made sandwiches and local ice cream.

So we donned our colourful hats…

…and set off into the woods.

See K’lee unfurl his colours HERE.

Now let’s see what part of the spectrum you’ve chosen to highlight for us…

Cosmic Photo prompt.

Yes, yes, I know, but I have a good excuse for being late with this week’s prompt, honest I do; it was Audrey’s birthday yesterday, we have a friend and his dog visiting and I had to take our previous American visitor to the airport at stupid o’clock in the morning.

But I’m here now and K’lee has set the theme for tomorrow; Colour me cosmic, so get out there and capture some bright and beautiful snaps for us.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

It’s a pretty black and white affair this week on K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, since the theme I picked was; Monochrome.

I thought I’d see what it would be like if I took black and white photos of something which I would usually be taking specifically for their colour; in this case, the garden, with a few bits of local architecture to add variety.

It’s amazing how the removal of colour helps you focus on the small details and contrasting textures, it was an interesting experiment.

K’lee will be throwing some shades of grey HERE and HERE.

Now it’s your turn to get monochromatic, you know how to do it…
