seeing red


I've learned in studying photos, and in taking photos, that when there's a little red in the picture, it somehow is a better picture.


It's just a sense I have. If you're taking a family photo, be sure someone wears red.  I call it the
"red factor."


Somehow the photo seems more alive.


Don't you agree?

  1. I totally agree, and love your examples. Just told oldest daughter who's growing into a pretty darned good picture-taker. :)

    Yours are wonderful, as usual!

  6. Red is a unifier when there are other colors! Love a red POP in a photo. Lots of famous cinematographers use it to color a black and white scene. Think of the little girls coat in Shindler's List.

  7. How funny! You posted a comment on yesterdays' post and when I come to visit you, I see that you've posted red for the day. Now you have to go back and check mine out as it is all about the red. Our tv room has a lot of it. :) It is amazing how in each photo, our eye is drawn to the pop of red. I am about to go bake some muffins and brownies to go in some of those coffee cans I've decoupaged as tomorrow I am visiting a friend and taking gifts to another. Hope you are having a great day and thanks for stopping by. Many blessings, Tammy

  11. The photos are lovely. Are the horses hoofs painted? Just noticed that. And that red transfer ware. I have always wanted those dishes...they look great with the modern granite look don't they.
