For the second part of this exercise I was asked to produce three to four images which feature colour combinations that appeal to me. It could be two colours or more and the objective was to show there is no single correctness to complementary colours.
Image 1
Image 1 was taken of the door of a beach hut on Paignton sea front, the orange and yellow sit next to each other on the colour circle, this gives a warm feeling. The padlock and its blue base is the focal point, a colour accent, as Michael Freemen states in his book 'The photographers eye' (p121) The colour relationships continue to apply, but with less force because of the size disparity in the areas.
Image 2
The colours shown in image 2 stand out against the drab stone background, the yellow and green is not a combination that appeals to me, the relative brightness of the yellow kayak against the orange one, gives the viewer a good perspective of the shape and lines of the kayak.
Image 3
Image 3 was taken on a Sunny day at Westward Ho! the only thing that's missing from the photograph is a red spade, if I could have found one I could have had all the colours on the circle in one photograph, however the photograph shows that all the colours work together if the scene fits! I know what you're thinking, pity about the shadow cast on the orange spade!
