Flash of Red 2018-1

I'm beginning my month with a few days of high contrast shots. Of course the lovely shot I had in mind with sunlight streaming through the window was not in Mother Nature's plans today so I had to adjust mine. Out came the light box!

I just love the clarity and DOF in this Ann. But I've tried and tried and I've lost the flash of red? Am I looking for the wrong thing? - just tell me not to be so stupid!! LOL :)

So I gotta FAV this because marbles are one of my favorite subjects! I love the way the different patterns stand out in black and white!

But the light boxes are so useful. I wouldn't now be without mine. Love the marbles and how you have captured them. They feel like they are all coming towards me.

Thank you so much everyone! I'm so glad you liked the marbles and so appreciate you putting them on the PP!

@robz The flash of red comes on the 14th up until then, it's all black and white.

@helenhall That is a reflection of the light in the light box. I was tempted to erase it, but then decided I liked it and left it in.

@mandygravil LOL They would not stay still and kept wanting to roll of the table!
