color theory




I had fun working with this color theory assignment. The first frame (analagous) is of a banana that is not fully ripe. The second (monochramatic) is all my pink nail polish on my pink laptop case. The last one (complimentary) is an orange on the pocket of my favorite pair of jeans. I did a lot of bracketing to get the right exposure and I played with the light sources. The banana and orange pictures were shot using window light. The nail polishes were lit with my desk lamp.

motion and depth of field

this photograph benefited from the longer  shutter speed by capturing the milk being poured into the cup

I liked how the movement of the coin was captured in this photograph due to a bit longer shutter speed.

I used a short shutter speed to show the ripples caused by the leaves that were stuck on a rock.

The short shutter speed allowed me to capture the water splashing up in a single instant.
