Picture This!
Color Me Red

Shutterbug Staff  |  Dec 1, 2007

We're seeing red. We received so many great entries for this month's Picture This! assignment that we have red images everywhere--on our desks and picture wall. Clearly red holds a great deal of attraction for photographers, and we received lots of images of nature, painted buildings and signs, uniforms, fire engines, cars, birds, and more. Honing down to our customary 10 shots was a difficult assignment for us, and we thank all our readers for their wonderful images and great response.

Midway Treats

Sure to attract the eye, this food booth at the South Florida Fair was photographed by Robert Grimm with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi with an exposure of f/3.5 at 1/3200 sec, with the camera set at ISO 100.

Sunday In Seville

Ann E. Clark made this shot at an outdoor café in Seville, Spain. The play of light and shadow caught her eye, and she exposed at f/5.6 at 1/500 sec with a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W100, which she told us is her constant companion on her travels.

This graphic study is enhanced by the fall of light and shadow, and of course that glowing color. Chris Mathis caught the light with his Canon EOS Digital Rebel and an 18-55mm lens with an exposure of f/4 at 1/2000 sec at ISO 100.
