Assignment 4- Color Theory


















1. Complimentary: Purple and Yellow
2. Analogous: Yellow, Yellow Green, Green
3. Monochrome

I looked around my Apartment and outside in my neighbor's garden while my mom took a nap. The monochrome was the hardest because, most things are multiple colors, not one single color.

Assignment #3: High Key/Low Key

My Choices:






























Middle Grey Exposure as Dictated by the Camera:









































Alright so here is Assignment #3. I found this assignment particularly frustrating because there are so many shades of black and white. I had to either change my background or my item multiple times to get it right. With patience I was able to match the colors as well as I could, but they are not perfect.

Assignment #1 - Scavenger Hunt




























All of these were taken at my grandmother's home in Cedaredge, Colorado. Surprisingly she lives in a pretty populated area, but they have an abundance of wildlife running around. I shot mostly with the P setting, but I quickly got fed up with not being able to get the shots I wanted and switched back to the manual setting.

While doing this assignment I learned that I need to be more patient when I take pictures. Many of my photos were out of focus, they wouldn't have been if I had taken the time to really make sure thy were focused. It also would have been better if I had used my tripod. I had never realized how important and  beneficial my tripod is.
