Assignment #4 - Color Theory

Complementary

Analogous

Monochromatic

This assignment was really exciting, fun, difficult and frustrating, all at the same time. It was really hard to look for color schemes that would work for each scenario. I often found myself forgetting about the color aspect of the assignment when I would be out on photo shoot outings. I would get to caught up in trying to find a good subject/composition/story that I couldn't force myself to think about color too! Good thing I started this assignment really early! I had almost 500 photos to choose from, which helped guarantee I would have something that would work for the assignment. Turns out I had had more than enough that would work and trying to decide which 3 to use was the hardest part of all... which I guess isn't so bad.

Things that I learned:

- shooting in a snow storm is fun only if you have fingerless gloves

- shooting flippy floppy fish is extremely difficult and frustrating

- take a ton of photos and make sure to bracket

- good excuse to go on a fishing trip ;)

Assignment #3 - High Key/Low Key

Learned a good bit from this assignment. For one thing I learned what high key and low key shots really are. I've heard the terms thrown around before but thought it just meant that it was either an overexposed or underexposed shot taken on purpose. Now I know that it's the actual objects that are white on white or black on black. 

Another thing I learned is how hard it is to find good light or to make your own. Lots of experimenting on that subject in the foreseeable future, furshurrrr!
