Complementary Colors

. I can research the way other photographers have photographed complementary colors.

I like the way that this looks. I’m going try and do something similar to this.

Final Reflection: 

Describe the process, or workflow, you went through to create these images? I was originally starting the multi-media assignment but as i went along I wanted to interview Erick but he was busy doing the complementary assignment so instead of waiting for him to finish I decided to do it as well so that way I could do something to catch up while I was waiting. But as far as taking the pictures I already has some on my phone The first one was taken while I was camping. I was up on a hill. The second one was taken of a boat in San Francisco. The picture is of the Alcatraz island.

How did you incorporate the two complementary color into your photos? I choose a color inside the picture. then I went to the website as found out what the complementary color for the color that I choose.

What blending methods did you use in Photoshop? What did the addition of complementary colors do for your images? I used the gradient blend the complementary colors, then make an overlay layer that gave the image some sort of cool effect without changing the way the picture looked completely.

What moods or emotions stood out as a result of enhancing the complementary colors? They both to me looked relaxing or calming at first. after the pop out way more and don’t look as good. The look like when you are watching a 3D movie without the glasses.

Explain how you were able to enhance the mood of the photographs with Photoshop or Lightroom? i raised edited the pictures in lightroom before I exported them into Photoshop to make they look the way that I wanted them too.

How well do your final images show the complementary colors? I think for the most part the are shown well in my pictures. But I know that it could be better.

What did you learn about color theory as a result of working on this project?I learned that complementary colors are on the opposite end of the color wheel directly across the other side.

Do you think your photos tell a good story?Yes i believe that my pictures tell a story. Nature has a certain way that it looks that can tell some great stories.

What would you do differently if you could do it all again? I like how it turned out. I wouldn’t change much.

What are you most proud of? I am most proud of how it came out I think it looks pretty cool. it took a little longer then I would have wanted but it’s fine.
