Color Theory Shooting Challenge

Intro to Color Theory

1) What are the 3 primary colors?
red, blue, yellow

2) How are secondary colors created? Cite an example
>By mixing primary colors
      ex. red+blue= violet blue+yellow= green yellow+red=orange 

3) How are tertiary colors created? Cite an example
>By mixing secondary colors
       ex. violet+green= aqua blue green+orange= yellow/green orange+violet= red/dark pink

4) What is the difference between subtractive and additive color models?
>Subtractive= Pigment Generated(red, green, yellow)
>Additive= Light Generated (red, green, blue)

5) How can color affect our perception? 
Color affects the way we see things, for example, blue is a rare occurrence in nature so we have no appetite response to blue food. Another example is the color pink. Pink is a tranquilizing color that drains energy(used in prisons and holding cells)

6) How does one color affect another? 
Color intensity changes in relation to its surrounding color. 
>ex: red ink on black paper vs. red ink on magenta paper

1) get as small of an f-stop as you can and make sure the iso is low because the higher the iso, the less dof you will get
2) bokeh

Exposure Principals

ISO 

ISO-  determines the sensor's sensitivity to light. When using the lowest ISO rating (100), you can see that the image will be darker than when using 400 or 600. When you set the rating to 6400 the image will be brighter. I set up the camera with a tripod to get the best results, and switched the ISO rating to get a picture of each rating. In the first picture you can see the difference between the green and the white SC letters when the ISO rating increases. The second picture shows all of the ISO ratings in one picture . 

Aperture- Controls the lens' diaphragm, which also controls the amount of light entering the lens. A larger aperture reduces the area of sharp focus and a smaller aperture expands the are of sharp focus. It is represented by the f number. I used a larger aperture to focus more on the checker pieces than the persons face.

Shutter Speed- The cameras shutter opens and closes to let light in. When shooting an action shot it is better to use a fast shutter speed because it freezes the movement. If I were to use a slower shutter speed , the image would have motion blur and we want to avoid that. In my picture I had the person move her head side to side and I was able to freeze the motion, focusing on her head.

HDRI (High Dynamic Range Imagery) allows greater range between the light and dark areas of an image. A good example of this is the last "mock" image, you can see that by changing the the layers, shadows are brought out more and it gives the image more of a pop. HDR photography has a painter effect and that is what pulls out the details as well.  In HDRI, the light values can be modified and represent the range of the intensity levels seen by the human eye. Most HDRI is of landscape because it is easier to take multiple shoots where as taking a portrait is harder for the canvas to stay still.

Daily Quiz-- Aperture

The aperture changes the amount of light that goes in when taking a picture. A large aperture allows a lot of light to enter the camera so the picture will be brighter then if you where to use a small aperture. This is handy with depth of field, if you use a large aperture you can choose to focus on the background and blur the foreground & vice versa.
