Straight Images - Colour

Work Diary - Colour

Evaluation of colour session -In our second session, we were sent out to take images of colour around the college campus. As I didn't take many images on college, I went home and used my camera to capture images of colour in my house and garden. 

 This is one of the images that I took in my garden. I like the way the grey/red colour of the Buddha contrasts with the brown wood and colour of the pebbles under it. I like the way the Buddha isn't just one colour, I think that because it is both grey and red it brings more depth to the statute and makes it look more dated than it actually is. 





This is another one of the images I took in my garden. It shows a brown wooden bench with a blue pattern cushion and a purple pillow. I think this presents colour well as there is a range of colours which all complement each other. Also as the sun is shining it has made the image naturally brighter and it has added a few shadows to the image which adds both depth and warmth.

Progression -  If i was to redo the session i would use an effect called selective colour as i feel that this emphasizes the colours. One example of this would be one i found online, it is showing a contrast of colored smarties in the palm of someones hand and i like the effect this has. 

Image Bank - Colour

 

These 6 images represent colour well as they are all of very bright, vibrant colours. The colours in the images are of a large variety which just shows us that there is such a vast amount of colour around us in day to day life. Each picture has bold colours in which shows that wherever we look there will be colour it just depends if it is bright or dull. 

Definition - Colour

Dictionary definition - An online dictionary states that colour 'the quality of an object or substance with respect to light reflected by the object, usually determined visually by measurement of hue, saturation, and brightness of the reflected light; saturation or chroma; hue' .

Words which describe colour - bright, bold, vivid, dull, dark, light, cold, warm, colourful, deep, fluorescent, harsh, monochrome, rich, soft, faded.

My definition - my definition of a colour is the shade or tone of an object. All colours are found between white and black and the brain allows us to process this as colour.

I think that this image nicely represents colour as there is the vivid blue and white of the sky as the background which contrasts with the bold colours of the balloons, which are floating in the sky. As it is a sunny day, the sun adds a brightness to the image which wouldn't normally be there.

This image represents colour well as it is showing 4 bright crayons being shot at so they inside colour explodes against the grey background. With the background being a dull grey colour it makes the colour of the vibrant crayons stand out more, it makes it more eye catching.

This is a birds eye image of a bunch of multi-coloured straws. This images represents colour well as it shows a variety of bright colours which all complement each other. It shows a collection of bright summery colours. This is good because it is displaying feel good colours which will bring a positive outlook to the image.

This image shows various shades of colours through coloured pencils which have all been cleverly placed to create the image of a love heart. As it shows most shades of colours, it creates the illusion that all the colours blend well together in the transition between colours, i.e. from yellow to orange.
