Light is the only ingredient required to make a photograph. Color is produced by specific frequencies of light or energy. Photons are determined by wave frequency, carry energy and are the building blocks of light waves. Different colors are created by specific light energy levels. Primary colors lie across from each other on the RGB wheel and if you combine them, they create secondary colors. I learned that the higher the saturation of a color, makes it look much more vivid to the human eye. Shading objects will often make them appear closer then they actually are. When you tint an object it makes it look farther away than it really is. Objects are actually reflecting colors depending on the weather, lighting and seasons. Objects lit by sunlight in nature often produce warm colors, while the objects in the shadows often produce cool colors.

I enjoyed completing the colors assignment. I found it difficult to find some of the colors such as orange and blue. I think that if I had been outside of school, my photos would have been much better and more interesting. That would give me the ability to have more area to explore for good color photographs. I really like the shadow that I captured on the fire hydrant. It would have made a good shadow assignment photo as well. The orange picture I took is a headlight on the front of a car. I zoomed in and got really close to it because I wanted to try and get only the orange. I think this was a successful assignment. If I have the opportunity I want to try this assignment outside of school where I have more options to photograph.
