I've had a few inquiries on my project as to the status of Flash of Red February so it seems the time has come to announce the 13th year of this month long black and white challenge is about to begin. I added in some creative twists this year. And here's a little inspiration for that February 14th Flash of Red:
This year's weekly themes will be:
February 5-11 Focus on elements of composition with Architecture
February 12-18 Non-traditional "Flash of Red" week : Playing with Toning and Tone Splitting- a colorful twist to black and white photography * OR * do a traditional week of black and white with February 14 featuring your Flash of Red! Use selective coloring on a red subject (instructions to follow). And wait until the end of the month to see it pop!
February 19-25 Exploring Negative Space: Negative space simplifies your composition, draws attention to your subject and highlights elements such as lighting, lines or patterns, and shape.
February 26-29 Bring out the contrast (with the option to explore what color filters do to your black and white shot) by paying attention to light. Return to landscape or architecture as your subject matter- or if you’re feeling bold and brave try portraiture!
For those who like to be reminded when a new post has gone up each week, enter your @name tag below and I'll add you to my weekly tag list. I look forward to a "lucky" year 13 since we have a leap year day at the end of the month!
@olivetreeann just thought about this about twenty times in the last week. Already starting to think in terms of shading and texture again. Love February due to this.
@pamknowler Not to worry Pam. If you look at the first list, you are on there- 18th up from the bottom- which reminds me, I have to post this list below the latest Flash of Red post.
