colorcontrast

=Color, Contrast, and Purpose= //**Due and posted on your blog before class on Monday, March 31st**//


 * Purpose of Assignment:** To capture “color and contrast with a message/meaning" through color photography.

Find subjects that help to demonstrate your understanding of contrast and light. In addition, continue to ask yourself, "what is my purpose for creating this photograph; what am I trying to communicate?"
 * Criteria:**

Demonstrate strong compositional strategies...selective focus and depth of field.

Look closely at light and shadow...think about photographing in the early morning or afternoon. The color of light varies dramatically, depending on the time of day when using natural light and/or artificial light.
 * //Note: Artificial light produces different colors, depending upon the type of lighting; lightbulbs (tungsten light) vs. flourescent light. This is most noticeable when you do not use a flash.//

Pay attention to light and circumstances where you may need to override your light meter(shooting into direct sunlight..open up 2 f-stops or slow down your shutter speed); take a light reading from your subject, then step back to photograph.
