Color Scheme Assignment
For this week's assignment, I decided to use some of my photos from living in Haines, Alaska. I've been having a bit of nostalgia lately for this amazingly beautiful place and the seasonal colors are astoundingly different due to the heavy year round precipitation.

This photo was taken heli skiing on a glacier. We were waiting for the heli to lift and come pick us up. To me, it exemplifies a complementary color scheme with the bright blue and red.

Wow, I would love to visit Alaska! Both pictures are amazing. I think though, that my favorite is the bright red helicopter on the snow with the most amazing blue sky I have ever seen! The third person perspective adds to the dimension of the photo. I just love it!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are really impressive! You did such a great job! I love both of them, but would have to agree with Ammanda in saying my favorite out of the both would be the one with the helicopter. The red color of the helicopter just pops against that background! I love photos that have a main color that is bright!
ReplyDeleteYou photos are incredible. Im super jealous your heli-skiing. Awesome pics. It is great how you let nature create the color schemes.

Both photos are quite incredible. The first one is an epically expansive landscape and well.. I don't thin it could get much cooler.
ReplyDeleteAs for the helicopter one, very striking difference in color for sure. The red couldn't stand out more :)

Stunning shots well composed, and good examples of the two color schemes. Complementary is really green and red, but you're right the bright blue is highly contrasty in this shot with the brilliant read and crisp white of the snow.
