Week Four - Colors

Nice colors are hard to find this time of year! I ended up having the most difficulty finding colors to satisfy the analogous scheme. I had to fight with myself over which photo to choose to represent the complementary scheme, I had two favorites! The one I didn't choose was a close-up of a Mardi-Gras mask I have that is blue and gold. It came out really nice, but it didn't interest me for some reason.


Monochrome Scheme
Here is a pile of gold-ish necklaces, taken with the macro setting. I set them on a silky white piece of fabric and turned the flash off.


Complementary Scheme

I used the macro setting for this one as well and it had a different effect in the end. The lighting is natural light spilling in through the window, with just a small reflection showing on the glasses.


Now it's time to do other homework while I wait for the sun to move so that I can take my different lighting shots!

  1. Nice and sparkly monotone! The textures of the chains are interesting to look at- I spent a while just looking at how the chains' sizes contrasted with eachother.
