CONTRAST COLOURS NEW SUBMISSION

COLOURS SPACED ABOUT A THIRD OF THE WAY ROUND THE COLOUR WHEEL

THIS KIND OF COMBINATION AS STRONG CONTRAST AND MIGHT BE CONSIDERED THAT

THEY CLASS WITH EACH OTHER

This image is an example showing contrast of colour

Taken at Camden Underground Tube Station, I focused 

on the sign and set the exposure level to ensure I 

could capture the writing sharply. I then waited for the

train to arrive and then started shooting. I am really

 pleased with this image.

A very true interpretation of the theme contrast colour

as red and blue sit opposite on the colour wheel.

f5.6 1/60 sec

I saw this image walking back to the train station after

visiting Columbia Road Market.

A man was selling some old clothes and he had hung this coat 

against the fencing behind him. I felt quite moved taking this image 

as it was pretty obvious this man had nothing..I saw this coat as a

 photo opportunity and he saw this coat as maybe a way of making

 some extra money.

This very simple composition shows the contrast between

 then tonal terracotta walls and door frame

and the very bright blue window shutters.

f5 1/125 sec

Taken in the historic Spitifield area of London

The above photograph shows the contrast between the colours

on each separate building again the colours are primary colours 

that oppose each other but what unifies this image is the

repetitive shapes of each window.

f6.3 1/60 sec

I was walking back to the station making my way home from 

a disappointing day shooting when I looked up and saw this derelict

building and noticed the contrast immediately.Since taking this image 

the building has been knocked down

COLOUR ACCENTS NEW SUBMISSIONS

A SMALL AREA OF COLOUR SITS AGAINST A MUCH LARGER AGAINST A BACKGROUND

OF ANOTHER COLOUR AS A SPOT OR ACCENT

Studio set up to show an example of
a accent colour.


1 studio flash light, silver reflector


1/60 sec f4.5
I set this studio set up and shot the flower head
against a red backdrop. I used depth of field to
reduce the focus area to show only small areas of
sharpness on the central area of the flower.

This image shows and example of an accent colour

1/60 sec f4.5

This photograph shows the accent colour of the orange leaf

 against the frozen lake in London’s Hyde Park.

I noticed the frozen leaf in the lake from a distance.

When I moved closer I saw that the ice had changed 

the colours of the lake into different tonal ranges of blue.

I repositioned myself and the camera to place the 

leaf at a point of a third to make the leaf colour

accent stand out more.

1/60sec f7.1


I took this image whilst on a travel holiday in spain.
I looked at the contrast of the shapes of the apartment
block but then noticed only one flat had its shutters down.
I positioned myself so that I could capture the full colour
contast.

card against the green tones of the door and the

taken in china town on New year day, The Chinese

dragon was making its way down the street and the

shop owner put cards and food in its door to 

receive a good luck blessing from the dragon

COLOUR HARMONY- NEW SUBMISSION

THOSE COLOURS THAT SIT NEAR EACH OTHER AS IN COOL OR WARM

RANGE OF COLOURS

A simple image showing the many tonal ranges of the hue green.
This image is an example ofcolour harmony.

f4.5 1/60 sec

I took this image at an ornamental pool near Liverpool Street station.
It was an un planned image as the subject was not really right for this
assignment. It was not until I started taken the photograph to I noticed 
the tonal ranges and that the colours were harmonious. I changed 
my viewpoint to capture the reflection of the office block beside the pool. 
I think the shadow of the office block adds some depth to the photograph 
and also brings in some darker shades of green.  The light was very limited so
I had to select a wider aperture. I would have preferred a smaller aperture
 to improve sharpness of the image

This image is an example of colour harmony. The blue bridge merges tonal with

the blue sky

f7 1/160 sec

I took this image when shooting assignment one. It was such a beautiful spring day

and the sky was cloud free. The blue bridge seemed to merge with the sky. 

I planned to shot the image diagonally to make a more dynamic composition. I like 

the various tones of blue on the bridge where the graffiti has been painted out 

which adds to the image. 

This image represents harmonized colours of the

background and the tones of the gentleman's outfit

1/25sec f 4.5.

I was walking through china town as I planned

to take images as it was Chinese new year and the

area was full of decorations which was a great source

of images for this assignment. I noticed this man leaning

against the wall and realized that the tones of clothing that

he was wearing harmonized with the back ground. I would

have like to have changed the angle to have moved around 

the bollard in the foreground.

This photograph shows the harmonious colours of a young tree
against an ancient bridge in Hyde Park London.

f4.5 1/80 sec

I planned a trip to Hyde Park as it is close to my office.
I saw the bridge in the distant and noticed that it was weathered.
When I got closer I noticed the tree and how tonally they merged together.
The lighting conditions were perfect as the cloud cover improved the 
saturation of the colours. I experimented with white balance levels and this
image was taken with the white balance set to cloudy which is added more
warmness to the image enhancing the overall tonal levels.

COLOUR COMPLEMENTARY COLOURS

COLOURS THAT FACE EACH OTHER ACROSS THE COLOUR WHEEL

colours of purple and yellow

F5.6. 1/60SEC

IRIS

I found this section of the assignment harder to represent

as an image. My tutor asked me to review

this segment and whilst researching I looked at the colours

that faced each other on the colour wheel.

The obvious choice for purple and yellow is the iris.

an image to represent the complemtary colours of

red and green
