Day 343
During the Christmas season, you see a lot of bright colours, such as red, green, gold, silver, white and blue.
Today's photo challenge is Something Red. I found that I was having some difficulty photographing my Something Red.
I have lots of Red Christmas Ornaments, but my issue was these red snowman mittens I had made and trying to adjust the settings on my camera so the red mittens looked red like the actual mittens themselves.
So, instead of giving up and finding a different challenge.... I took my challenge outside.
Then in Light Room I muted the photograph to give it a Vintage feel! What do you think?

"Red is the Ultimate Colour to cure sadness!" Bill Bass
Why is red so prominent during Christmas time? It's hard to imagine a time when red and green were not synonymous with Christmas, but they have not always been the holiday go-to colours. It started centuries ago, when the colours were used to commemorate a different holiday. Ancient Celtic peoples revered red- and green-colored holly plants for being evergreen and believed holly was meant to keep Earth beautiful during the dead of winter. Used in the Winter solstice celebration. It is these beautiful bright red berries and deep green leaves that have become the exact colours we have come to think about when we think about Christmas. The Christmas colour for 2020 is Navy, classic blue.
