I am exploring, in this exercise the primary and secondary colours. I have taken a series of 18 photos each with a particular colour dominating the frame. I have taken each shot of the six colours at correct exposure and then one stop higher and lower to see the effect on the colour in each case. I have only uploaded a single to my blog for 'data capacity' sake but as in the previous exercise it has shown me that under exposing one stop helps to add depth and richness to the colour and over exposing tends to 'bleach out' the colour.
I have used exclusively natural colours rather than man-made paint colours which would have been easier to find. A trip to the local fruit and veg shop provided me with all the colours I needed except blue which is a less common colour in nature hence resorting to the sky. I am really pleased with the results generally and used the macro setting on my nikon zoom lens for the close-up work.
