Throwdown: The Colour Red

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Use red to draw the eye to a point in the photo.

For example…

[Patrick]

Great shot Rob , certainly does whats you set out in the title.

 

[Dahlia Ambrose]

I like this minimal composition Patrick and the colour red adds a lot of visual interest 🙂

[Patrick]

Thank you so much Dahlia 🙂

[Erik Fransman]

Yes! Red. Good.

[Federico Alegria]

Great request, I’m sure there will be some great shots, this is from a documentary project I worked this year on, plain jpeg copy from the undeveloped raw:

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Oooh – subdued. I like it.

Eilin, did you dare go through the door? (was there a choice? Red door/blue door? 🙂 )

[Federico Alegria]

This thread is going places!

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

I’ll say!

[ElinL]

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Oooh very effective @elax

Also folks, make sure you’re looking at the big size by clicking on the images.

[Patrick]

I must admit a lot of times i don’t click into the image , in most cases the size showing does enough for to get a feel and understanding of the composition , sometimes the image can be too big when clicked and you feel claustrophobic haha

The size when clicked on your shot Elin is super nice on my desktop monitor ( its all i use )

[ElinL]

The enlarged size is perfect after your most recent adjustments Rob

[Patrick]

Lovely Elin , you made me remember i had a bird image that will work here 🙂

 

[ElinL]

Thank you gentlemen 🙂

[Patrick]

[ElinL]

Sweet !

A Box of possibilities

[Erik Fransman]

[Erik Fransman]

[Tersha]

Is that for real, Erik? 🙂

[Erik Fransman]

Yes, that’s for real. It’s in a harbor at the end of the quay. The only thing “not real” is that I have moved the airplane an inch to the left.

[Erik Fransman]

I got a similar message about 3 weeks ago trying to upload an image , i never reported it at the time i selected another image and it was fine and has been ever since, so i just seen it as a blip in the system.

[bucweeet]

Thanx Patrick (@patrickw-2) I figured it is something like that. I’ve never had the problem before.  Hopefully @admin-2 will remove the post for me.

[Patrick]

Welcome mate , there are so many plugins for this wordpress one of them will always blip at some point , i sometimes need to wait over 50 secs to log in once i click sign in it just hangs there doing nothing and i need to hit back on my browser then try again , I do all the normal stuff like delete my browser cache , delete my cookies ect ect and it still happens and it only happens on this forum sorry to say that but every other website i visit and need to log in it does it in an instant.

I am use to it now its like an old friend lol

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Hmm – looks like our security plugin being a little over protective! Which is actyually a good thing if you knew the crap that had happened to us over the last year. 🙁

[Patrick]

Better that way Rob

[Kenneth Wong]

I received this message few times last night when I was attempting to upload several images.

I was able to resolve the problem by reducing the file size of each image. I did this by increasing the amount of JPEG compression, i.e. opening the image in an editing program and re-saving the image at a lower quality level.

I don’t know if this is the definitive cure for this issue, but this method did resolve the problem for me.

I hope this is helpful.

Lake Hattie Wyoming

[Patrick]

That place looks like a lonely place to be in the depths of winter , nice capture and beautiful backdrop to the land

[Patrick]

Time at the river is never wasted time

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

I always wonder why people wear camo into the great outdoors. I mean, there’s not much advantage that I can think of (maybe some for wildlife photography?), but if you get hurt nobody’s gonna be able to see you!

[Patrick]

Hahaha , that’s a fair Point 🙂

[beth]

one from my early days in photography.  taken in 2006 with the canon 20d during a trip to ireland.

[Patrick]

Beautiful Beth , never easy to tell a place but looks very much like Twelve Bens Connemara , County Galway ..love it

[beth]

it was 2006 and i was pretty drunk the entire trip.  but i think it was around cork.  i didn’t make it to galway until later in the trip.

[Kenneth Wong]

[Kenneth Wong]

[beth]

umm… it said a pop of red, not a freaking explosion.  just kidding, this is awesome.

[Kenneth Wong]

Thanks Beth.

[Patrick]

Right Time Right Place and a dab of luck 🙂

 

[Patrick]

My images are missing again , this is just a test post , Is anyone else having an issue with images they post not showing ?

 

[Kenneth Wong]

 

[beth]
