Assignment #4 - Color Theory

Monochromatic, although I can see a slight analogous scheme with the yellows and oranges found in the first two fruits.
Analogous - purple, red, orange, yellow, and green
Complimentary color scheme
Complimentary color scheme
Monochromatic - Orange + baby carrot = baby oranges.
Complimentary color scheme. I know it doesn't fit with my food theme, but I took it this weekend and think it couldn't be more perfect for a complimentary color scheme.

This was a fun assignment for me. I have always loved color theory. I was really hoping to find more usable color schemes at the air force base that I went to this past weekend, but unfortunately for me, I could only find red, white, and blue. Weird, right? Anyway, I shot most of these indoors because I only had time to shoot at night. I had fun creating these scenes and creating a perfect light. It was challenging to find a good scene, and I reshot over and over and over again until I was satisfied.

Bracketing was really fun for me. I couldn't stop doing it because I was intrigued by the different results I got by just adjusting my shutter speed. I really love learning how to work my camera. I used a box studio light, which gave me AWESOME light by the way, and it's amazing how much a good light source affects your photography. This was much better than last assignment. I also loved learning how to recreate a story. That is the hardest part, but once you get that "a-ha" moment, all that time you spent thinking about it was instantly worth it.
