In August last year, I started a Tribute to the 7 Colors, with 7 posts on each color of the visible light spectrum. I started with red. The first color of the rainbow, following the order of its colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet).

To avoid wasting time in the archive looking for photos that fit the theme, I decided to take the Fujifilm X-T3 and do the shoot from scratch. Much quicker.

The first photograph was taken at breakfast. The neighbors in the building next door had left just one piece of clothing in the sun. Color: red. A good start.

My city is [under construction](https://peakd.com/hive-193212/@cryptoreforma/cities-major-works-huge-disruptions-brpt-eng "https://peakd.com/hive-193212/@cryptoreforma/cities-major-works-huge-disruptions-brpt-eng"), the chaos that comes with evolution. On the bright side, I found elements that would bring out the red you want. In this case, the pipes where the underground communication cables run. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmSxaJ43Rs92UxmZsi2ia4EYC5dJfnaCPx6Wt1wyX96g8K/3_red_photo_essay_paulo_abrantes_3.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaCU2AhixE61G62QFc6R3nsJvbUEMGstqUMDeAV5r7ycX/4_red_photo_essay_paulo_abrantes_6.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYhwX8AGNkL6WFDEyfg8Qz85NtnyquciptD9dopvToAkX/5_red_photo_essay_paulo_abrantes_5.jpg) My gaze settled on the red Ducati Multistrada V4. This beautiful sports and touring bike has a V4 Granturismo engine for mixed terrain riding. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeXW38ud3T5McREdU8kqY8wsVRbr6gS6biZ2ASVcfs6U7/6_red_photo_essay_paulo_abrantes_7.jpg) I like to be discreet in street photography. When you're obsessed with your purpose, in this case the red color of the car, it becomes difficult. The background seemed perfect, but the street was busy. After a sequence of 30 frames I managed to get some interesting movement in the people. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeVU2z2aBsui3G6FJSBPJnSwrQEtgMLWD6rKXfPjtrWrY/7_red_photo_essay_paulo_abrantes_8.jpg) A good sign for the end. 🔴 End of the red tour 🔴 \[😃 I'm hoping to collect those 6,000 ecency points to increase my HP. With a few PIMP's in the mix, it would be the perfect "slap" 🤣\] ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmX1HuehNRLKfSExb67A7LNLvVw3YXfpnPrSERsK9VDPef/separador_hive.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZmsEHwR3mo2jivfc2W6dzXcgxKkXPvRysEr9PrWttLwG/banner_zone.gif) Do you like manual curation?
