Colour and Light

Our last lecture was about colour and light. We were set the task of finding a picture that screams colour and light. Here is what Ive found in the depths of my hard drive:



This was taken at my house about 2 years ago. Its one of my brothers lining up for the break. Here the dark background gives huge contrast with the foreground objects. These objects, the balls, are brightly coloured, the affinity between them is very small since they are all such different contrasting shades of colour. This photo shows a lot of colour but not much light. The light here is very focus on one area of the picture, the table, and leaves the wall behind it very dark.

Here is another picture I took of some building in London:


I took it because it just so happened that the sun was in the right place. It was hidden slightly behind the building. This makes the building dark and the sky very bright giving high amounts of contrast. This contrast gives the picture an impression of light and brightness. As the sun hits the less denser parts of the clouds, the clouds let through more white light making the picture even brighter.
