If you used your own camera last lesson: Collect a card reader and upload your photos to your area AND to your website. If you used a school camera, your photos are in student shared/photography/year 10 In the Macro Photoshoot gallery, upload your macro photos from last lesson. We will come back to editing next week. What is effective about the use of colour in these photographs? What difference would it make if the colours were different (brighter, bolder, darker, duller etc) in each photo? Through this task you will learn a range of colour techniques. By learning about colour theory, you will make more conscious decisions about the colours you put together in your photoshoots, resulting in more effective photographs, and higher marks if used thoughtfully. The above photos are by the artist Mika Ninagawa. The artist has photographed colourful items, then the bold colours of these simple objects have been exaggerated on Photoshop, altering brightness, contrast, hue and saturation. Task 1: Edit one of your previous photographs multiple times to represent all of the different types of colours, and to show the different things you can do with a single photo. After each edit, save it as a JPEG (new title) then go back to the original photo using CTRL+ALT+Z to undo your editing. To change colours you have multiple options: 1. go to image, adjustments, hue and saturation. Here you can change the colours completely with the hue or make it brighter or duller with saturation. 2. go to image, adjustments, desaturate. This will take all colour out of the picture. 3. Use the brush tool on a large setting with 0% hardness and on a low opacity (around 30%) to paint colour onto sections of your picture (change the colour on the tool bar). For example Add a new title to your Close Up page - Colour theory Upload all of your photos into a GALLERY, with a caption on each photo of the correct titles: - Complementary colours - Monochrome (colour) - Monochrome (black and white) - Warm colours - Cool colours - Increased saturation - Decreased saturation Title: COLOUR THEORY Write a paragraph to explain the task and the way you can change an image completely as a result of changing colours. Desribe the changes that occur in the way your photo could be viewed, and give your opinion on the photos - is there a colour type that you prefer more than others? Why? etc. If you need help getting started use these sentence starters: To alter the colours in photoshop I... By working on the same photograph, I can demonstrate that by changing the colours... I prefer the.... because... Going for gold Add an extra sentence or two to reflect on when you might use some of the colour types. Perhaps some are more suited to creating a certain atmosphere etc.
