Colour- image bank

The majority of pictures i have chosen are both naturally contrasting colours, the first is a red flower in a field of yellow flowers, the second is a red apple amongst a bunch of green apples and the third is a bight jelly fish against the blue ocean. I like all of these images as i find the contrasting colours interesting, especially the image of the flowers as i feel the red and yellow go well together and the dark green of the stalks of the flowers help the red to stand out even more against the other yellow flowers.  When i was searching for pictures to use for the image bank i was shocked that the majority of the pictures showed natural bright/contrasting colours as opposed to man-made products that have been painted bright colours like i had initially thought there would be. All of the photos that i have found had contrasting background to makes the colour seem more vibrant, for example the pencils are contrasting against the black paper and the rainbow is contrasting against the dark clouds.

Evaluation on session;
As it was only my second session in Photography i still found it slightly difficult to get good pictures as i don't think i have experimented enough with the camera and with different angles and the zoom. However i preferred this session to the first as i found it easier to take pictures with colour than i did taking pictures of lines. I preferred taking pictures of colour as i felt that there was more things i could take pictures of. When taking pictures of lines i found that a lot of my pictures were the same as a lot of other peoples as there wasn't that many possibilities but with colour there are a lot more things to take pictures of and everything has a colour, be it dark or light.


                                                                                   
     This was one of the first pictures i took when
     we were told the topic was colour. I like this
     image the most out of all of the pictures i
     took as i like the dark red colour o the leaves
     and how only a few leaves are dark green
     which i think looks nice against the deep red
     colour of the surrounding leaves.  A well as
     this i like that at the bottom of the picture
     there is a backwards leaf,  like this aspect of
     the picture  because the back of the leaf is
     lighter than the front of the rest of them,
     which provides slight contrast in the image.
                                                                      

      I also like this image as rather than including
      bright colours, it only includes a variety of
      black and greys. My favourite part of this
      image is the white stripes on the floor in the
      background. This s my favourite aspect of
      the picture as its the lightest colour in this
      picture and it stands out against the grey/
      black surrounding it. This photo was
      influenced by Jai Maisel, as there is not a lot
      of different colours but instead there is a lot of
      different tones of the same colour.

Progression;

If i were to carry on shooting for the topic of colour i would take more pictures that include something black, or use more darker colours against a brighter background or the other way around, as i only had one picture that includes the main focus of the picture against a contrasting colour. I would also try to take more photos of the same colour but on different objects and put all of the photos together I'm a multiple image to show the different uses of colour.

Colour- Definition post

Dictionary definition of 'colour';

'The property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light.'

Describing words of 'colour';

Bright, bold, pastel, brash, cold, warm, dark, deep, festive, fluorescent, harsh, light, monochrome,  vibrant, neutral.

The first image i have chosen to write about is 3 pastel colour balloons against the light blue sky.
I like this picture as i like how all of the colours in it are all pastel colours, including the background, i feel if the background was a dark colour, although it was contrast i don't think the picture would have the same affect. The use of the pastel colours in this image give an almost innocent feel, most likely due to pastel colours being linked to babies and young children, so if the background was a darker colour, like black, than the image wouldn't look as innocent as t does not with a pastel blue background.

The second is of a sunset. I decided to write about this image as there are a lot of colours in this particular picture that all join together to create this serene image. I like this image as the bright yellow/gold of the sun against the dark blue/black of the clouds and sky contrast well and  like how the clouds are lighter at the back than the front. The black shade of the plants again contrast well against the blue sky and the red clouds created by the sun. 

The third image is of  long row of houses that are all painted different vibrant colours. I like this picture as the angle of the picture makes the row of houses look endless and each house is a different bold colour against the almost pastel blue sky.

The final image is a tropical underwater scene. I like this picture as the brightness of all of the fish contrast against the dark blue of the ocean background, even the blue fish contrast as they have a small amount of yellow and black on them which stops them from blending into the background.
