PROJECT 1 

COLOUR WHEEL

Colour is divided into three types which are PRIMARY COLOUR, SECONDARY COLOUR and TERTIARY COLOUR. These colour can be seen more clearer using colour wheel. Colour wheel is a basic reference material to analysis and choose the correct and suitable colour in composition. Colour research is an important thing for a photographer to learn because while researching we can apply the correct colour composition in our photos to make them look more interesting. Colour also can be used to create mood in photos. Other than that, the colours of an object or environment can be different depends on the light resources.

PRIMARY COLOUR

Primary colour is a colour that can't be created with mixing colours and the basic colour of primary colour is red, blue and yellow.

SETTING :

APERTURE : F/16

SHUTTER SPEED : 1/40

This was taken outdoor when i'm walking beside a building and saw this huge red door with a grey wall. The wall with a lighter colour and the door with a brighter colour created a contrast look.

02 BLUE

SETTING :

APERTURE : F5.6

SHUTTER SPEED : 1/1600

I took a shot of this signboard in a park around 6:20PM. I used low view because the signboard is tall and i wanted to captured the clear blue cloud together with the signboard because it looked stunning. 

03 YELLOW

SETTING :

APERTURE : F5.6

SHUTTER SPEED : 1/50

This was also found in a park the same time i took the blue signboard colour. The leaf in the background is darker than the flower making it look contrast and it took my attention to capture it.

SECONDARY COLOUR

Secondary Colour is a colour that can be created by mixing two basic colours. Colours that we can find in secondary colour are purple, orange and green.

01 ORANGE

APERTURE : F5.6

SHUTTER SPEED : 1/500 

ISO : 400

Orange is a mix of red and yellow colour. I found this flower during my sister graduation near the hall where there was a garden full of flowers. Bright colour like orange colour gaves me happiness and positive vibes. Orange also is one of the warm colour that represent the bright and fierce. 

02 GREEN

SETTING :

APERTURE : F5.6

SHUTTER SPEED : 1/80

Green is a mix of yellow and blue colour. For this shot i took it at the gas station. I was in the car and i took this green coloured nuzzle while waiting for my parent to refuel the car. 

03 PURPLE

SETTING :

APERTURE : F6.3

SHUTTER SPEED : 1/250

ISO : 400

Mixing blue and red colour we can get the purple colour. I took my mother's flower decoration and shoot this outdoor since it was bright that day. Purple can give me the cool vibes since purple is a colour that represents peace and calm feelings.

TERTIARY COLOUR

Tertiary Colour is a colour that can be created with one colour from the primary colour and one colour from the secondary colour. We can find red orange, red purple, blue purple and yellow green in tertiary colour.

This flowers with a red orange colour also is in the same place as the orange coloured flowers. The flower is blooming with a bright and happy colour so i took one and more shots on this flower because it was very enchanting.

02 YELLOW GREEN

SETTING :

APERTURE : F5.6

SHUTTER SPEED : 1/640

ISO : 200

This was taken during a walk in the park and the light during the time was very bright and when it pierced through the leaves it gaves a nice effect on the leaves. In addition, if we add more yellow colour it will create a light green.

03 BLUE PURPLE

SETTING :

APERTURE : F5.6

SHUTTER SPEED : 1/160

ISO : 400

For this one I also took my mother's flower decoration and shot it outdoor. Blue and purple colour mixed really well and both are cool colour, when they are mixed it make them look very pleasant to look at. 

04 RED PURPLE

SETTING :

APERTURE : F5.6

SHUTTER SPEED : 1/80

ISO : 200

This was also taken during a walk in the park when I noticed these bright coloured leaves which is red purple and decided to take a shot. Mixing red and purple is an unusual mix but they did give a nice colour. We can see that eventhough they are mixed, red is more dominant than purple.
