Strength of a Colour

I was really looking forward to the colour module and was excited about the opportunity to experiment. However, in doing the exercises through the Autumn/Winter months I have been quite frustrated about my ability to find the colour combinations I wanted.

In controlling the strength of a colour I was lucky to catch the last of the Nasturtiums. Although I haven’t included it on the website I also repeated the exercise with a red post box just to test the results. It seems to me that as the image becomes underexposed it looks to have more of a blue hue and as it becomes overexposed it has more of a yellow hue.

As an aside I also found it a useful opportunity to get a better feel for using the manual controls on the camera and how I can use them to manipulate the image before using Photoshop.
