Photography Assignment - Light and Color
Well, shame on me. I bitched and complained about my white on white assignment for class, and wouldn’t you know it… I learned a lot! The first part of the assignment was to take a white object and move it into different lighting situations. Here’s a little collection of some of the pictures I took.
Isn’t that interesting? Look at how I got blue, yellow and cream all out of a pure white object. Such a good assignment!
You ever wonder why sometimes you take a picture outside on a clear day and you end up with a gorgeous picture, but its tinted red? Well sure, a talented Photoshopper can fix that, but who knew you could fix it in the camera? Ok, you savy people do, but I didn’t, so the next part of the assignment was to play with White Balance functions in the camera. We used the same object, in one location, and just changed the White Balance. Very interesting.
So a question: I have to write an ‘essay’ about color for my class next week and I have no idea what to do. It can be about anything having to do with color. The physics of light color, color blindness, animals that change colors, why some colors look better on some people…. anything. Got any ideas?
