Color Palette



         The three primary colors are red, yellow, and blue.  Secondary colors are made by mixing two primary colors for example green. Tertiary colors are mixing a secondary and a secondary color or a primary and a secondary color, for example blue green. Additive color model is light generated color and subtractive color model is pigment generated color.   Different shades of color can affect our perception, if you have a color wheel with colors littler on the outside and darker on the inside it will make a tunnel affect.  One color affects another by changing the intensity of the other for example if you put a red dot in a black square it will look brighter than if the red dot was in a pink square.

Introduction to HDRI

          HDRI is when you shoot multiple exposures (some over exposed and some under exposed) of one subject in the same position. Shooting the same image with different exposures is called bracketing. You then can combine these to create an image closer to the range of light the human eye sees this process is called tone mapping.

Exposure Principals




The first picture I took had a very quick shutter speed. The shutter speed affects the amount of motion blur and the amount of light let in the photo. If the shutter is open for a long amount of time there will be a lot of motion blur a quick shutter speed will have the opposite affect.  I used a quick shutter speed to capture my friend in mid air while jumping, the down side of using a quick shutter speed is less light is let in the photo.
The second picture I took I chose a large aperture or a very shallow depth of field. This made it so the subject of my portrait was in focus but the background is blurry.  A large aperture means a smaller portion of the photo will be in focus, a smaller aperture the larger portion of the photo is in focus.
The last picture has four different different ISOs of 800, 1600, 3200 and 6400. This demonstrated that the lower the ISO the darker the image and its less grainy the higher the ISO the lighter it is but is becomes more grainy. You would want to us a high ISO when you are shooting a photo with out a tripod in low light conditions.
