Project 5: A Personal Range Of Colours.

For project 5 it's back to the colour chart again but this time what i had to do was fill a blank chart with a selection of colour from my own work. The idea behind this beginning that it helps you to analyse your own work and discover what colours appeal to you.

Above is the chart that i produced after studying my own work, what i tend to shoot at the moment is mainly landscape and wildlife images so what you see above is a collection of what i would describe best as natural colours. There's not really any bright colours as you'd expect because most landscape's be it urban or rural tend to be made up of similar colours such as greens, reds and greys and this is reflected in my chart as you have a good range of these colours plus a few blues and oranges.

Its not a very complicated project but what i did find was that it does give you an insight into your own likes and dislikes that you probably haven't considered before (i know i hadn't anyway). What i found was that i tend to like a strong solid colour in the foreground with maybe a small amount of a complimentary colour present just to break it up a little. When it comes to shots that include a large amount of sky i tend to like having very dark tones that make the sky feel very imposing and ominous giving the image a real presents. I know other tutors have told me that my landscape work doesn't always need such heavy skies so I'm in the process of trying a different approach.
