Bright red is such a shouty colour, isn't it? No wonder it is used to indicate danger and to draw attention to things. Our fire engines are red, so are most of our post-boxes. The old-fashioned and much beloved telephone boxes used to be red, as did London's buses. It can be a photographer's friend... sometimes a person in a red coat can be just the thing to add a bit of spice and a focal point to an image. Often, it's a photographer's nightmare: a bit of red plastic needing to be cloned out of an otherwise peaceful beach scene.
I will occasionally have a spell where I go looking for a particular colour. Here are a few red things I found on my wanderings.
Astonishing in how many shades red can be found. Recently I ordered "wine red" cushion covers for our officially "Burgundy" sofa. I held my breath until they arrived. Indeed they do match perfectly: my wife did not even notice they were there! Peter's lucky star is still shining.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of poppies...and I loved seeing all these photos with red featured!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly brightens a pic!
ReplyDeleteRed was a great photo choice and there are so many. Now, you have my mind going as to several future photo outings, thanks.
ReplyDeleteRed tends to show up in a lot of our city vehicles.
