Cosmic Photo prompt.

I’m in charge of providing you with a creative nudge in the direction of this week’s K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, so here’s the prompt I chose; Monochrome.

Simple, succinct and self-explanatory…or is it?

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

For this week’s post on K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, K’lee gave us licence to mislead and misdirect with some illegitimate imagery, via his prompt; Just an illusion.

I felt this called for some comical mucking about, so I tried a bit of downscaling with a couple of Audrey’s toys and some fingertip erasing. I’m not sure how my head got stretched in the first shot, but I’m rather pleased with how the second one came out.

*edit to include me riding the bug (thanks, David)

K’lee will boggle your senses HERE later.

Now show us your tricks of the light, it couldn’t be easier to take part…

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Time for another edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, themed by me this week with the prompt; Night.

Once again I sought inspiration in the garden, since the nights are warm at the moment and it’s nice to sit out there and enjoy the peace and quiet.

I took a few shots with a long exposure which came out rather well, including one slightly spooky self portrait.

K’lee steps out of the shadows to show you his wares HERE.

Now it’s your turn to shine a light on the darkness.

Your weekend inspiration for K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge is provided by me today and I’ve decided to flip K’lee’s prompt from last week on its head and picked, simply; Night.

So show us your dark side and take to the shadows for Monday’s post, it’s easy when you know how…

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

K’lee left us with our weekly dose of inspiration for K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge on Friday, choosing an illuminating subject to play with; Living in the light.

Straight away it occurred to me that I had a candidate for that concept, having visited a local church last weekend with Audrey, during the annual Pilton Green Man festival.

We went to see a friend of mine performing a musical set inspired by Hitchhikers’ Guide To The Galaxy, featuring extracts from the book and other space-themed tunes (see video clip below) and I snapped a couple of stained glass windows while we were there.

See how K’lee lights up our lives HERE.

Now you show us your bright ideas.

K’lee is in charge of inspiration on this week’s edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge and he has gone for something none of us could enjoy photography without: Living in the light.

So use some illumination to inform your imaginative imagery for Monday’s post and have a wonderful weekend.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

I’m at the helm of this week’s K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge post, having asked you to get Up close and personal for your weekend’s homework.

As usual I had nothing specific in mind when I set the theme, deciding to search outside for inspiration and it didn’t take long to arrive.

I was sitting having a coffee in the sunshine yesterday morning and noticed a few seed pods on the table, from one of the many trees which overhang the back of our garden, like this one…

…which isn’t unusual, so I didn’t pay it any attention, although there was something slightly different about this particular seed.

Again, nothing all that unusual, certainly not worth investigating any more closely…until it moved.

On its own.

I was also playing with some new editing apps at the weekend and I made this rather effective image, bringing all the flower borders in very close indeed, to form a lush little “garden planet”.

K’lee gets just close enough for comfort HERE, go check him out.

Now it’s your chance to shine.

Cosmic Photo prompt.

For this week’s prompt on K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge I have decided to return to a previous theme and concentrate on the details, by getting; Up close and personal.

However you want to interpret that for Monday’s post is fine with us, it’s your spin on our suggestions which makes the challenge fun.

Here’s how to do it…

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Today’s post is more about artistic interpretation than photographic precision, with K’lee in the driving seat for this week’s edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, leaving us the esoteric prompt of; If you could see into the heart of me.

Well, it was obvious to me that this would have to feature my family; Rhonda and I met in person for the first time almost exactly five years ago and, next week, she and Audrey will make their first trip back to America since they moved over here.

They are both very excited at the prospect of catching up with friends and family, especially meeting their first grandson/nephew for the first time, a visit delayed for over a year by financial constraints and intractable bureaucracy. It will also be the first time we’ve been apart as a family for five years, so they will of course be very much in my thoughts for the three weeks they’re away.

That seems like a lot of firsts for today, but it would hardly be a first to just post photos of my family, so I thought outside the box (well, outside in the garden) and made a little stop frame animated gif to illustrate K’lee’s theme as literally as possible, painstakingly constructing it from just two photos and a heart sticker.

You can see K’lee’s heartfelt and artistic post HERE.

But now it’s time for you to show us yours…
