Photography Induction - Colour

During this photography induction, we learnt photography skills that enabled us to be able to use our SLR cameras, to the best of their ability. We dealt with shutter speed, aperture and ISO. We were also able to adjust settings on our camera to enhance colours, hue, saturation etc... This helped a lot with the photographing of our coloured objects, as we were able to understand which objects went best with what.



Here is an apple sitting on a red sheet, with an orange background. Choosing the colours that are included in the object itself prove how this isn't the best way to make the apple stand out. The colours are all too similar, that they all blend.



However, in this photograph, I used two primary colours, and also two very different colours. The blue mug easily stood out when infront of the yellow background. This combination also seemed to enhance both colours in terms of their saturation, but obviously made the mug look a lot darker.



With this photograph, I used a blue mug with orange surroundings. These are complimentary colours. You can see how much the mug stands out, compared with the red scissors, this is because the red and orange are two very similar colours.



Blue and grey aren't that different, even though the mug still looks quite blue, the subtlety of the grey seems to make the mug, and the whole image appear more dull.



Blue on reddish/pink, this photograph is a lot bolder then the grey and blue one. The brightness of the pink/red really brings out the blue mug, however I don't think these colours go well together.



Red and blue, this particular red(tinsel) seems to soften the blue, and make it seem darker. This also shows how different the two reds are, they are both red but the tinsel comes across as much darker then the nail varnish.



I included blue in this, not only becuase orange and blue are complimentary, but because it emphasises how much more the blue stands out in comparison with the apple.



This photography was just to show how these two blues can look different when placed together. The foam 'P' looks a lot greyer when next to the much more vibrant blue bottle screw.
