(red) flowers
May 28, 2007
RED can gives a lot of meaning. The recently very famous (red) ad with David Beckham holding Motorola (red) handphone. This is the Product (red) which helps to raise money for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Got (red)? The (red) iPod Nano is cool.
Red in answer paper is not a good thing, Chinese says 满江红(man jiang hong), meaning that all red. Lame answer is you get too many ticks. HAHA, but for common meaning is too many mistakes done during exam or exercise.
For Chinese, red refers to 红(hong). Chinese loves red colour, we wear red during Chinese New Year, give RED packets, wear red wedding attire. Red is also the colour of good luck and success. I watched in movie that wearing red underwear will give bring good luck to you during gambling. So have enough of red underwear at home or not?
But don't know who out there are scared of looking at blood which is dark red in colour. Blood only ma, like this also scared? Think of it as tomato sauce.
Wait! Chili sauce also red in colour. But one of my favourite band, Red Hot Chili Peppers is not red in colour. *so lame*
Red indeed is a nice colour, see the photo also know la. I prefer pinkish red than dark red. A brighter colour makes people more happy.

Woah nice macro shots of the flowers Nicholas! Your photography skills are really awesome ;) haha! Keep it up and continue spamming your blog with more fantastic photos of yours :D
Anyway, I love the last photo! Maybe it's because the rose is almost perfectly centered in the photo. And the depth of view is really nice too. Love the blurred and dark background which makes the rose stand out. Maybe you want to try using photoshop to make the photo more appealing, such as darkening the background and enhancing the colour saturation of the rose. Just my 2 cents la of course :)
hilary :
hihi! red hibiscus, i saw a big red hibiscus at the festival but when i saw that time is someone carrying it home, no chance shooting at it.
