Assignment 3

Throughout the exercises leading up this assignment, i have explored the various different relationships between colour and to use them efficiently and to my advantage within photography. Knowing what colours complement each other, or clash and what amount of each colour is best.
Here, in this assignment, i have hopefully executed the use of this knowledge well when illustrating the following colour relationships;

Colour accent 

- a small area of colour sitting against a much larger background of another colour.

Here, I took a picture of a coloured wooden fence in a playground, i filled the frame with the fence, with just the hole in the fence taking up a small portion of the bottom of the frame, allowing you to see coloured bars through it, as an accent in red and green, both similar colours to blue.

In this photograph, the yellow daffodils across the middle of the frame accent the green that surrounds them.
Again, both similar colours.

Red fixtures accent a green bridge through the use of complementary colours

The green/yellow flecks on a blackberry work as an accent against the blue of the berry. Yellow being a contrasting colour

 Colour Harmony through complementary colours
- colours that face each other across the colour wheel

Here, i took a picture of a red object against a green grassy background. Red and green being complementary colours

Yellow and purple are complementary colours and so i took a picture of this flower featuring both those colours, which almost fits to the ratio (yellow)1:(violet)3 as suggest by J. W. Von Goethe

Orange and blue are complementary colours and so i took a photograph of a bright orange, against a blue background. I wanted this to be a very bright, bold photograph

I love the softness of this photograph, its quite abstract, the attention is drawn to colours and shapes as opposed to subject matter.
A strong red set against a green background.

 Colour contrast through contrasting colours
- Colours spaced about a third a way round the colour wheel that are very different but not quite complementary

Orange and green are colours spaced a third away around the colour wheel, and so are contrasting. I found this adorable tree stump featuring both colours in almost pastel tones and so tried to keep this photograph quite light feeling to go with the tones, or slight lack of saturation of the colours.

Purple and green, two contrasting colours, that i personally think go beautifully together, captured on a sunny day, on a tree.

A red and yellow climbing frame looking quite eerie on an overcast day. The angle from which the photograph is taken allows both the red and yellow sides of the frame to be seen together, also sitting one inside the other, giving a sense of narrowing into the middle of the frame, almost.

A blue fence with a red gate. Two primary colours spaced a third apart on the colur wheel. I love the brightness and how the colours clash.
I tried to take a photograph of the the fence at an angle to create a fluid line where the colours despite clashing, seem to join seamlessly.

 Colour harmony through similar colours
-Colours near each other on the colour wheel.

Blue and green, two cool, earthy colours found next to each other on the colour wheel.
Green leaves set against a beautiful clear blue sky. I love the shapes the leaves create, and how the sunlight hits some of them creating a beautiful, zesty green.

An orange and yellow flower. Two warm colours that are very similar. The green in the background is also similar to the yellow. This is more subtle though, due to the depth of field and the green being just a blur, out of focus.

A subtle yellow of a rose with a green leaf resting upon it.

Yellow flowers and their green stems both similar colours.
The bright yellow is also sandwiched between the blue sky and the green, which are both similar colours to each other.
