Colour Theory -Photography, technically exploring shutter speed and aperture:

For this session we had an introduction in the photography department, As i have never really been introduced into photography this was great for me teaching me the basics of how to use a camera and some of the effects it can offer. We started getting to grips with the SLR cameras that are available at the college. We then each selected objects from the colour theory workshop we did and took them down to the studios to play around with different backgrounds, lighting, timing and contrasts.













as you can see in the images displayed above there was a longer exposure time, giving chance for more light to be reflected around off the objects this then creates a much more vibrant orange colour on the black  background as i have also noticed the longer exposure means that the black then gradually appears grey. and the image with less light exposure shows the colours more true to how they are actually visible to me. Below you can see how the introduction of the red background makes the blue seem much darker that it really is, and then below this you can see that the orange ball against the red now seem to be a much more red colour. 























For this experiment i set up the camera using a  tripod and the flash light stood next to me, I was changing the shutter speed and aperture setting on the camera to see what effects and differences I could acquire using the same objects and colours. The images towards the bottom with less light is more like what we see personally on the other hand the top images is very light and deeply effected by the amount of light let in to the lens. This has altered the colours, so that what is a red colour is now a much lighter orange colour.
