Project 33: Secondary Colours

Same task as with Project 32 (Taking 3 photos (one underexposed, one correct exposure, one overexposed) of bold examples of primary colours, to see which is closest to correct - ie the colour wheel.), but using secondary colours.

Project 32: Primary Colours

Taking 3 photos (one underexposed, one correct exposure, one overexposed) of bold examples of primary colours, to see which is closest to correct - ie the colour wheel. Not the most exciting set of photos, but it is interesting to see the subtle differences which occur with slight changes in exposure when just considering the colours.

Photo 2: Correct Exposure

Photo 3: Overexposed

Overexposed - generally speaking colours are lighter and can appear washed out, but sometimes colours are enhanced - brightened.
Underexposed - generally deepens and makes colours richer.

Assignment 2: Colours

The brief for this assignment was to take photos of found or setup situations that showed one of the following:

• Colour harmony through complementary colours
• Colour harmony through similar colours
• Colour contrast through contrasting colours
• Colour accent through any of the above

Since I have had a 4 month break from any work on photography (I have a good excuse!!) I thought I would just post these assignment photos so I can move on with the new and old projects, so this is a little out of order.

Comments welcome as usual ;-)
