Flash of Red February 12-18 It's Time for a Flash of Red!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Get ready for some fun this week. Here’s the layout:
Feb. 12-13 Texture
Feb. 14 Flash of Red (Selective Coloring)
Feb. 15-18 Texture

During week 3 we’re going to direct our attention to one of my favorite compositional elements- texture. Black and white photography loves texture because of its great ability to emphasize contrast and contrast is what makes us see a 3D texture on a 2D picture plane. Here are some great links to read up on texture:

Pay close attention to the rules of composition when you’re taking your texture shots this week. If you need to read up on them, follow this link:

If you’re adding a “flash of red” on the 14th (or any color of your choice- however since red, black and white are power colors, the pop of red really looks great), here are some guidelines to follow:

And here are some samples/instructions I put together a few years ago using Picmonkey:

February 14th is a bonus day- tell a story with your subject, choose whatever element/s of composition you’d like and have some fun. Return to texture as the focus of your pictures for the remainder of the week (15-18).

So get ready to TEXT- TEXTure that is!

You're welcome Nicole, Issi, Helen, Jacqueline, Joyce, Lou Ann and Rob! I'm a bit behind due to a short visit to see our granddaughter Leigh in a music review and editing the photo club newsletter today. I'll get back on track tomorrow.
