colour evaluation

we were set with the task of capturing photos that represented colour around us in the environment. In my search i was able to find some good examples of colour in the form of paint on buildings, plant life and more. i also took the time to go home and add some more pictures to make another contact sheet with images from my garden. Once i had completed the task set i made a contact sheet of all of the photos that i had taken and also edited four of the best photos out of them all. overall i found this turned out quite successful as i was able to show colour in a variety of ways.

i chose these two images out of all of my examples because i feel that they are great examples of colour in different forms. The first image shows an example of colour in nature. You can see how the petals on the flower give a vibrant pink colour to the picture. You can also see how light plays a dramatic role in the picture, as the simple green colour of the plants are changed and given a bright glow, adding a more diverse colour pallet to the photo. The second image is of a building with chipped panelling. within the chipped paint, more colour is revealed and fades from a dark red to a clear white. i decided to get a close up image in order to completely fill the frame with this interesting colour patter and design.

Progression:

If I could change one thing about my photos it would be the conditions in which they were taken. I feel that the images could be of a better quality if i had chosen a day with better weather to take the photos in order to make the colour in the picture seem more vibrant and clear than it would be on a cloudy day. This topic has allowed me to focus on different colours that may cause an image to appear more striking.
