Primary and secondary colours



In this section I am required to photograph natural colour and bracket the exposure .
I chose the green of leaves. Banana plants. Also fruit and vegetables, flowers. However being in a city. Right now has proven difficult So I turned to the sunday market. And the beach. Finding natural colour became a task . Other then man made painted walls and tarpaulin, left little to explore.

Even with digital photography, bracketing the exposure can give a much wider margin of colour exploring to how the image may end in portraying. Rich to pastel colours . As in the previous exercise. Here I have to matched close to the colour chart. 6 colours RED BLUE AND YELLOW , VIOLET Orange and  GREEN.

Colour we take for granted, Till we look for it, or use it in to crate in art or textile. Or its colour over powers us.
 I found the hardest colour to match the chart was blue. Getting it dark enough Sky sea?  Even stopping down , Was hard to replicate. I could have cheated and used the tools in the computer. But here are the raw images I took :  fist to be correct exposure the second under and the third over exposed. All by 1 stop . 
Green


yellow





Depending on the colour contrast , Some colours are better over exposed like this yellow orchid. And other give richer colour by being under exposed slightly .


orange 





red





Some colours can even change with change in exposure . Like red become almost pink. As one would ad white on an art pad. 

Violet
