Primary and secondary colours

Green dominating

Yellow dominating with darker image shot at f5.6 and lighter image f11




Blue dominating


 Orange / beige dominating
Purple



This is a series of photographs to illustrate primary and secondary colours, some shot at different speeds ./ exposures to alter colour strength.  The red wreaths darken considerably on the centre image taken at f13 compared to the top image at f18.



Controlling strength of colour





This is a series of images of a light blue wall shot at 1/50th second from f3.5 (lightest) through to f8.0 (darkest).  The colour saturation is more intense at the smallest aperture where the image is underexposed.

Assignment 1

Studio


Playing with naturally occuring shapes in the environment and used my yoga studio as an example.  Tried to produce abstract images and used naturally occuring light to produce shapes rather than simply record products.

Flash



As a result of doing a flash course I bought a Nikon SB-700 speedlight for my DSLR.  Am selling a lens on ebay and took the first shot using the built in camera flash, the second using the speedlight.  Bounced the flash off the wall in the corner of the room to get side lighting as well and the difference between the 2 images is considerable.  Used iTTL with the built in defuser to soften the light a little.
