it is what it is.............................HOT!

and so the wheels in my head is spinning again.

RBG: Red is a team player or not?

So,, you may be asking yourself, "hmmm, why I'm I going so crazy for this whole RED theme".

Well, Red happens to be the flashy attention seeker in the all star group called RBG.

yeah, you heard of them before, they are your Primary colors,, eh hem,, Additive primary colors if you want to geek out like that.

Co starring is the congenial Miss Green and the coolest kid on the block, Mr Blue

When Red is with Green, its a family affair, lots of holidays and gift giving, more like a couple, you know.

But when Red is with Blue, that is a whole different story.. its all about being Masculine, patriotic, hard core,,, can you tell they are best friends and complement each other to a T.

But they hang out sometimes, Green getting slightly irritated by Blue because they are so close on the color wheel, (can a girl get some attention) and Red loving that they both make him look good.

Advertisers know the Relationships of Red very well and they use it to stimulate their costumers, it is so well ingrained subconsciously in our minds that we respond to it without really knowing it.

You can use this to your advantage in your scrapping just remember

Red + Green = Nurturing, family related, holiday, etc

Red + Blue = Masculine, strong, Pride, Good friendships, honesty, dedication etc

Photography Trivia

A red filter used in black and white photography increases contrast in most scenes. For example, combined with a polarizer, it can turn the sky black. Films simulating the effects of infrared film (such as Ilford's SFX 200) do so by being much more sensitive to red than to other colors.

Happy Scrapping!!!

RED....How do you work it?

Alright guys, the timing couldn't have been MORE perfect when I got this yarn in the mail. I'm going to show you a pic SOOC (straight out of camera) and I am going to show you a GOOD photoshop conversion, and then I will show you how photoshop can RUIN your pictures. Too much of ANYTHING Is NOT always good.....ready? Ok, here we go....



ok The above picture is straight out of camera. Red can be VERY hard to photograph correctly. I hardly EVER use automatic settings on my camera. And had I done it on this picture, it would have been awful. Because I was in the shade the flash would have popped up. Next time, I will take a pic on auto and show you the difference between auto and manual. Moving on....



This picture is VERY OVER DONE in PS. It does not look natural at ALL. NO kinda way. I really over did the saturation on this. Look at the color difference of this picture and the one above it. Just not right lol....but lastly I will leave you with a little "eye candy".....



For this picture, all I did was played with the channel mixer. JUST A LITTLE BIT, But it is still close enough to the actual color and not over done. In my opinion anyway. I am NOT an expert, but feel I have learned and am learning enough to contribute.

Thanks Have a great day!

RED: Defined

In addition to what Ronalyn has posted, I want to DEFINE RED for you.

Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love.

Red is a very emotionally intense color. It enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure. It has very high visibility, which is why stop signs, stoplights, and fire equipment are usually painted red. In heraldry, red is used to indicate courage. It is a color found in many national flags.

Red brings text and images to the foreground. Use it as an accent color to stimulate people to make quick decisions; it is a perfect color for 'Buy Now' or 'Click Here' buttons on Internet banners and websites. In advertising, red is often used to evoke erotic feelings (red lips, red nails, red-light districts, 'Lady in Red', etc).

Red is widely used to indicate danger (high voltage signs, traffic lights). This color is also commonly associated with energy, so you can use it when promoting energy drinks, games, cars, items related to sports and high physical activity.

Light red represents joy, sexuality, passion, sensitivity, and love.

Pink signifies romance, love, and friendship. It denotes feminine qualities and passiveness.

Dark red is associated with vigor, willpower, rage, anger, leadership, courage, longing, malice, and wrath.

Brown suggests stability and denotes masculine qualities.Reddish-brown is associated with harvest and fall.

eneRgetic jouRney (with Ronalyn)

RED is one of the most powerful and attention-getting colors.
RED symbolizes passion and fire, love and lust.
RED reflects energy and can motivate an individual to take action.

Red it's such a vibrant color. To me it evokes strong emotions, such as excitement, energy, strength, speed, aggression, danger, passion, and lust. I personally love the color and wearing it as well. It's a color of confidence, you'll know when someone walks in a room when she's got red on.

The photographer in me, will take the time to open my eyes to all things red. And I cannot wait to share them with you guys! I encourage you to not only look for the color red in photos, but think of the emotions behind the photograph. How does RED stimulate your brain? It's proven that color evoke emotions and I know RED gets you all fired up. It does to me. In the days/weeks to come I will share that with you as I take you on my "eneRgetic jouRney".

Until then, here's a latest layout that screams RED:
