Chapter 4: Project 30: colour control

Find a strong colour and photograph it so that the colour fills the viewfinder. Find the average exposure setting and take a sequence of photos from one stop over the average exposure that your camera's meter recommends to one stop under.

I chose the green cable box that is outside my house.

1/4 sec, f/18

1/4 sec, f/20

1/4 sec, f/22

I've learnt that overexposed images are lighter and underexposed images are darker. Though saying that I would have thought the image taken by the camera's meter would have been the correct colour but it is nearer to the last photo.

NB I've re read this project and I've done too many photos, it should have been 5. Never mind I'll leave it as it is because it shows how the colour changes.
