Colour and Abstracts
COLOUR
Colour has a dramatic effect on how the viewer percieves and experiences a photographic image.

Cool colours (blues, greens, -any image with a bluish tint) come across as emotionally distant, calm and professional (think of the IBM logo)

Warm colours (reds, oranges, --any image with a yellowish tint) come across as friendly, warm,lively, (think fast food logos) and they usually have a happier feeling.

Colour techniques:
colour contrast-complimentary colour: Colours opposite each other on the colour wheel are called complimentary.
Colour harmony: colours that are close to eachother on the colour wheel
colour discord: colours that seem wierd and out of place.
colour spot: one small area of colour that is in contrast with the rest of the colours
monochramatic colour: an images that has shades of primarily one colour throughout. This can be boring but usually the subtle hues of one colour give a feeling of peace.
Primary colours: Images that have all three of the primary colours: red, yellow, blue

ABSTRACT

common subject viewed ina unusual way: move in close. Shoot only part of the subject.
Reflections: Use reflections in glass etc to distort the image
Camera movement: Try zooming or moving your camera during a long exposure (1/30 or 1/15)
Patterns in Nature: look for repetition in shape and texture. Look for good lighting  to highlite the patterns and textures.
Manmade patterns: Buldings or structures, roads, fences using repetition of shape.
Shadows: Shadow can create striking abstract images. Look for interplay between light and shadow to create a dramatic composition.

ASSIGNMENT:
*three shots using different colour techniques
*three shots using different abstract techniques
