Images in Picassa.

These are two of the images from Picassa.  Original and then B&W.  Can't apply filers in Picassa but have done in Lightroom - just can't same them or blog them ...............

Colours into tones in B&W

This exercise represents my total frustration with this OCA course.  I have completed the exercise taking a colour picture (clothespegs) with a grey card (magazine image actually).  Put it into Lightroom and applied 4 filters to see 4 results.  Learnt a lot from this exercise but I don't know how to save each image.  I have had no lightroom training other than online stuff and forums and there is knowone to ask.  Forums are so impersonal and I really need a genuine human being to relate to.  I have made the decision that this type of course is just not for me.

Colour relationships

The plug and diary are yellow / purple in a ration of 1:3
Scissors to file red to green 1:1, although there is probably more of the green file than there should be.
Orange on blue filing case 1:2.

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.
