THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: LE ROUGE ET LE NOIR

 

Last Sunday for Black & White photo challenge we explored Darkness and Light by focusing on moody lighting and shadows that add drama to photography. Today I would like us to continue with dramatic captures, but through the use of bold colours. Show us what effect placing red next to black can produce. The easiest way to obtain this is to shoot a red flower against a black background, or a fiery sky with a silhouetted, darkened town, but there are so other many possibilities that I very much look forward to seeing in your entries.  Today’s theme is RED and BLACK (my title was inspired by Stendhal’s famous novel: Le Rouge et le Noir).

  2. Oh Stendhal. Takes me back to my A level exams!

    Great, challenging theme Paula. I’m about to fly home now but will seek inspiration in mid-air.

      • Thanks Paula, the journey home was smooth and I now have a red and black post for you! Now, I admit to there also being some white – but strictly speaking, that’s not an actual colour…

  15. Mmmm, the brave reduction of all foreground detail so that the modern (I’m guessing) building takes on an ancient castle feel, then the whiskers of trees and pylons soften the horizon, make this superbly dramatic.

  16. I do like a vivid sky 🙂 The sunrise this morning was a dazzling display. Happy Thursday, Paula! The music reminds me of La Macarena and I had a little dance in my armchair.
