Something Red
Red, being a color rich in symbolism, can play a crucial role in conveying meaning in photographs. Incorporating the color red into photography denotes passion and bold emotion. Red is a color that commands attention.
We will be posting images that have something red. In this hidden walkway in Charlotte, North Carolina, the red patio umbrella captures one’s attention. The two flags are eye-catching too.

Sunburst in Monochrome
A “Starburst” of “Sunburst” in photography refers to capturing the sun in your photo where you can actually see the sun’s rays in a star like shape. The sunburst effect is created from pointing your lens at a bright source of light such as the sun. As the light passes through the aperture blades of a lens, it renders the sun’s rays in a star like shape with points of light radiating out from the center.
Here is a monochrome version of a sunburst captured at around sunset on the river front in Washington, North Carolina
