STRENGTH OF COLOUR

On now to part three after lessons learnt in part two and absorbing my tutors feedback's. Henceforth i will include exif data on all my pictures and short descriptions of my shots. In this exercise , am varying exposures by overriding auto exposure function on my camera. And learning about color and its effect on composition.

In The Photographers Eye (Michael Freeman, 2007) the three most widely used parameters or axes of color  are discussed. Hue, saturation and brightness. Hue is the quality that gives each color its name and is what most people mean when they use the word color. Saturation is the intensity or purity of hue, with the minimum being a completely neutral gray, and brightness determines whether the hue is dark or light. He adds that another way of looking at this is that saturation and brightness are both modulations of hue.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              




IMAGE 1: ISO 1600,140MM,0.3EV,F/13, 1/125

IMAGE 2:ISO 1600,140MM,0.3EV,F/14,1/125

IMAGE 3:ISO 1600,140MM,0.3EV,F/16,1/125

IMAGE 4:ISO 1600,140MM,0.3EV,F/18,1/125

IMAGE 5: ISO 1600,140MM.0.3EV,F/20,1/125


From the five images shown above, we see that the actual color changes with the exposure. Under exposure produces a stronger color as seen in image no 5 with the smallest aperture of  F1/20 while overexposure produces faint color as seen in image no 1with aperture of F/1/13 being the widest.
