Assignment #4 - Color Theory







I enjoyed and learned a lot from this assignment. I love color, so it was really exciting to me to see what I could photograph for the assignment. The things I learned the most had to deal with light. I learned that colors change based on the light source (where it is, what time of day), which will change the photo. I also learned that you have to be really particular about lighting to get a great shot. Being deliberate and also bracketing helped me to get the best exposures and a better end result.

 What made the camera happy:
  

I learned a few things from this assignment. First of all, bracketing is very useful and really helped the editing process. I also learned better how to find the white balance, and that the camera is not always right. I can find the near-perfect exposure if I really think about what I want from the picture, and take multiple shots with different exposures on my camera. The photos turn out much better when I am doing it right on the camera, rather than trying to fix it through Lightroom.
