Work Diary - Colour

Work Diary 

Today I took pictures of colours, I was looking for colours that were contrasted, like purple and yellow (colours that are opposite on the colour wheel), I walked around Harlow town and looked for colours that went together but it was very difficult, orange and green aren't really very commonly found together because they are both very bright and it doesn't always look that good together.

However I didn't get many because I found the task quite challenging, although the world is full of colour I felt like I wasn't finding many colours that went well together, additionally I couldn't work the camera that well as it was a college one that I wasn't familiar with, I found it difficult to focus on things even when using auto-focus which made it very difficult to take good photos.

Progression: Next time I will make sure I know how to use the camera before I go out to take photos. I will also spend some time in the studio room and take some more photos so I can choose what colours I am using. I also think that it was made harder due to the fact that it is autumn so it was darker and less colourful, additionally there are less colours around generally because many of the plants were dead and this meant there was a lot less natural colour.

This is my least favourite photograph because I don't think it is framed very well, I also don't really like the colours, I was looking for green and red and it didn't really look very red, it is quite dull looking.

I like this because I think it is really bright and it stands out quite a lot in contrast to the dull background. This is my favourite colour photograph because of this reason.

These are all the pictures I took relating to texture, I am very happy with the majority of them, however,  it was raining which meant the sun wasn't out so the texture wasn't as good as it should be.

This is an example of texture, I like this photograph because the texture is very detailed, however the focus is not my favourite thing about this photo because it is unfocused at the bottom and at the top right.

This is a photograph of a wall that shows a lot of texture, not only can we see the texture of the brick, we can also see the texture of the cement. I like this photo because I think it is very well framed and it is very detailed even though the photo wasn't taken very close.

I quite like this photo because I think it looks really gorgeous, although it is taken from quite far away you can still tell that it is very dry which is interesting.

I thought this photo was very cool, I'm not completely sure what it is but you can definitely see what it it feels like. I inspires me to take more photographs of animals because I don't think I have any yet.

In some photographs the variation in the light and the dark are so convincing that we can almost 'feel' the texture although it's not actually there. It is this three dimensional 'feel' that convinces us there is a 'texture' on the page.

This is an example of texture, you can really see how it feels and I think it would feel rather rough.

This is also an example of texture, although we can see what this is and we know how it feels its still great that we can see the texture as well

This is an example of a hard and relatively smooth texture, I think this looks really good and I like how much you can tell what it is.

I think this photo looks really good because the ice looks very smooth, however we can also see the texture of the twigs which is quite nice as it is an example of two different textures

This is an example of analogous colours, meaning they are all colours next to each other on the colour wheel, I like this photo because it looks absolutely beautiful, I think the colours look really nice together and they don't clash at all. This inspires me to take more photos of nature, especially flowers

This is an example of muted colour, I love this because it looks vintage and old, the book has been spread out beautifully and it still looks natural, this makes me want to take photos of objects I'd find at home because I think it looks really good.

This photograph is an example of saturation, meaning it has been made to look brighter than it actually is. This looks really good on pictures outside, especially in the summer, as some photos outside can look quite dreary when you don't want it too so saturation is a good tool to use.

This is an example of complimentary colours, meaning the two colours are opposite on the colour wheel, I think this looks good because the colours are so blocky, there's no clouds in the sky in this photo.
