I’ve started compiling a potential theme for my next exhibition – “London Red”. Basically the idea is that I shoot topics that have the very London-iconic “signal red” colour in them – and then convert all the photo except the red into black and white. This makes the red really stand out. I’ve thought of a number of ideas for photos (London buses, telephone boxes, post boxes, etc.) but would welcome any more suggestions.
This is a shot taken today – without the black-and-white treatment…..

It’s good you left the red in, makes the shot:)
love the red idea! the color is outstanding against the gray backround! I am an amateur photographer and enjoy looking at others work to see what is inspiring to them. I keep a little blog about what is happening around where I live. It’s fun seeing where others live too. good luck with your red -abbe

Thanks for the positive comments! Surprisingly, I’ve not done the black-and-white thing on this one yet…..it’s just a rather dull (typically London) backdrop! Actually Charing Cross station for those that know London. Rgds.
Great idea! and a wonderful photo!
nice one Dave. Maybe I should try something similar in California. We are having dull grey days at the moment so the lighting would be right. We don’t have the red that you guys have though, our mail boxes are a very dull navy blue. I shall look around for inspiring colors.
fellow commentators he actually didnt make the background black and white.
just thought i would point that obvious piece of evidence out to you.
