There are some things that you immediately associate with Christmas and it was one of those things that gave me the inspiration for Shimelle's photo prompt for today. A photo that makes red the centre of attention.
I decided to use the husband's new digital SLR for this one and was trying hard to think of something red that would make a good focal point. The red on the advent calendar, maybe. The red foil of the Lindt chocolate Father Christmas which is a compulsory part of the Christmas stocking contents in our house? Perhaps.
Then I suddenly remembered two things: 1 - that the new camera has a clever little special effect mode where you can isolate one particular colour in a photo and turn the rest of it black and white and 2 - I had bought a pointsettia at the weekend to brighten up the hall table. Mission accomplished:

awesome shot Deb! The selective coloring really adds a wow factor.
Lovely shot Deb x
OOooooh, I love this, Debs! A friend of mine has a camera that singles out one color and I think that is so cool - it makes for a really interesting shot.
PS: I have a poinsettia on my work desk too. :o)
Love it. A friend had a camera that could pick out a certain colour. So wished I could do that. I have done it in photoshop but it takes ages!!
That is very cool, I didn't know there were cameras with that option!
Love it - and love your pic of the snow today on FB xx
Who knew there were cameras that did that?.....not me for sure!
