Contrasting Colours and Light. (HW WK 5)

A photograph taken in early morning light with warm colours:

ISO 400
F/8.0
1/100

It's a little hard to see, but there's a ring on the lid that's a redish colour which is why I chose it. The warm colour was meant to contrast with the cool light, but instead looks washed out. Even though it wasn't as successful as I'd hoped it would, I still like this photo a lot.

The soft colours in these two photographs compliment each other quite well. The colours are designed to work together, something for a children's room. This is why the colours work well in complimenting each other.
 ISO 400
F/7.1
1/80

Take a photograph with complimentary colours:
The blue and pink (I couldn't find any red/violet) are colours that compliment each other quite well. The blue recedes while the slightly warmer, pink advances.

ISO 100
F/10
1/80

Take a photograph with contrasting colours in afternoon light:

It's a little hard to see, and maybe if I adjusted the exposure, but the little pods next to the flower are a green colour. Pink and green are colours that usually contrast quite well, the cooler green and the warmer/brighter pink. The afternoon light is quite harsh in this image as well, making the image slightly over exposed.






 Shoot a scene three times, using the correct white balance setting, and then using two incorrect white balance setting:

Daylight

Flash

Automatic White Balance

I took the same photograph four times with different white balances to look at the way the white balance could alter the light in the photo. For a few of them, it didn't seem to make a difference. For others it made a huge difference. The results are quite different, the flash and daylight settings were very similar with only a tint in one photograph making them different, but the tungsten setting made the most difference. As the light was a white fluorescent light, the tungsten setting cooled the whole image down making it blue. Had I used my usual room lighting, which is quite warm and yellow, the picture would have come out quite neutral rather than blue. This was an interesting experiment and showed the importance of using the correct white balance.
