Primary and Secondary Colours 3

Title: Red

Exercise: Using the primary and secondary colour wheel find scenes that are dominated by a single colour. With each colour that you find vary the exposure slightly to produce an image that most closely matches your desired colour.

Take your time. Try not to concentrate on artificial colours, make sure you examine the natural colours of materials too. Use the experience to develop and refine your colour sense.

Approach: Finding different reds was not as difficult as I first imagined it might be and I was able to source a combination of both naturally occurring and manufactured colours. I did find photographing red quite difficult in terms of getting the right tone and hue.
