Fruit for thought

I tried to use the contrasting colours of purple and yellow fruit from my fruit basket to make some intriguing images.  However, the pictures are not as dynamic as I thought they would be, but they are interesting.  I learned that fruit are actually hard to photography, especially when placed on top of a reflective table top.

Below are two pictures of the same subject.  

You can see how the slightest change in lighting can modify the final look of a photo.

I've finally been able to download my pictures onto a computer.  Not my computer, but a friends computer. 

To showcase contrasting colours, like cyan (a bluey colour) and yellow, I've posted some tree images.  I came across this scene when I was walking home from work one day and the sun was setting.  I loved how the colours popped.

Sorry for the lack of pictures

I know, I know, you're wondering where my February images are.  Do not fret for I have been shooting.  It's just that I am having computer troubles.  I hope to have these issues rectified soon, so that I can start posting again. 

Picture Perfect Peppers

I was at the supermarket the other day and snapped this contrasting colour shot.  

First Images for February's Photography Project.

Yeah!  It’s February and that means my February Project is ‘Reveal Contrast with Complementary Colours’. 

Okay, if anyone looked outside they would see that its winter out there.  Well, if you’re in Canada ;)  Winter brings snow and lots of it.  Currently, my outdoor surroundings are blanketed with snow, which has made it a little difficult to find contrasting colours.  Therefore, to practice capturing images with complementary colours, I got in my car and drove to a local Green House.  And wow, I found lots of beautiful and colourful things to photograph.

Note –I not only practiced taking pictures of contrasting colours, I also had the opportunity to learn about post-production techniques to modify images. These images have been modified using an old canon point-and-click picture software program and not Photoshop. In due time, I will acquire Photoshop and familiarize myself with it.

Here are a few images I took.

FYI - I intentionally made the below photo look blurry!
