Work Diary - Colour

Evaluation:
The thing I enjoyed while doing this subject was I got to find new and creative ways of finding colour and showing it in my images. I also like how I could edit my photos and create a new type of photo by using the images I had.

I really like the strong contrast in colour between the green leaves and the orange of the berries. I like the way the light really lights the berries up. If I were to shoot this again I think I would go in really close and isolate just a small bunch an may be shoot from more unusual angles.

What I like about this photo is the main focal point of the photo is the red poppy flower in the middle, which is exaggerated by the background colours of the green and the brown dirt. The contrast is so big it really makes the single poppy stand out.

Progression:

If I were to continue with this type of photography I would like to try using selective colour as I think this technique is really strong. To do this the composition is the key to a good image. 

In this image the umbrella is already the focal point of the shot. I think the colour in the umbrella was added afterwards using masks in photoshop. Them it was saturated to give such a strong look.

It looks like the photographer has placed a series of coloured strips of card in the background and then shot the water reflecting this. If you look closely you can see the reflection in the water drops. The shutter speed would need to be fast in this freeze the drops in mid air. Then I think the photographer turned up the saturation when editing.

Here in this image we can see there is a large contrast of colours between the liquid environment and the harsh rocky environment. The bright colours in the liquid have slowly spread out into the rocks and stained them but the grey monoslavic rocks around it are relatively unaffected because they are greater in numbers then the liquid colour. 

In this photograph we can see the difference between two seasons, and that there is still a remnant from the previous season lingering onward into the next season. We can tell this from the difference in colour from both seasons the remnant of summer has it's green leafs to it and the new season Autumn is a crispy red colour.

Here we see a multitude of colours being admitted from a light source. These colours are all bright colours that have been capture on a photograph. Each colour represents a different thing but in this photo each colour shows a parking space.

Here we see the start of a fire and the contrast between the dark coal and the bright orange light source it admits. The reason this is such a good photo is the photographer has capture the essence of the photo and has manged to capture its brightness.

When using colour in photography you can achieve anything because you can be as creative as possible by using different types of colour. I have chosen six different pictures to indicate the different levels of colour that can be used. I believe that using colour in photos is rather important to the image itself because it shows lots of the detail needed in the image and also shows how creative the photographer is in their work. Which I think is a rather important indicator in how good a certain photographer is. 

Colour is found everywhere in the universe and can be made into anything. By using colour in a picture a photographer can achieve any type of picture. This image shows an edited image of a photo of space which ha sheen edited to have different areas each showing a different colour. These colours represent the main colours that can be found in the universe and also the more of a colour there is in the image above the more dominant that colour is. As we can see RED and BLUE are the most dominant colours, followed by GREEN, YELLOW, and LIGHT BLUE.

Every colour we get comes from white light, the only reason we see different colours is because white light contains all colour and different objects reflect different colours. The camera then picks up the colours that have been reflected and then converts that into an image. This makes the image have colour and that is what we see in the photo.

In this photograph we can see what an architect has done to a building. This picture shows some man made colours which exist in are world. This has been applied to a building which makes the image rather interesting and also because of the amount of colour makes the image seem brighter then it actually is.

Here is a bird that has feathers that all reflect different colours of white light. This photographer has taken this photo of a bird which indicates the natural form of colour in the natural world. This bird has rather bright and vibrant colours on it which would indicate that it lives in a rather non hostile environment because it has no need for camouflage.

In this photograph we can see a single flower that has cells that reflect different colours to make this beautiful image.  Colour in the natural world is very important because flowers use colour on their petals to attract insects to the flower for pollination. So without this function we wouldn't have flowers or plants for oxygen. This shows the importance of colour in the world.

Here we can see a display of multiple colours which a photographer has successfully managed to capture and turn in to this wonderful photograph. This image is using lights to refract different colours in the steams of water to give a water light show to people.
