TEMPUSMASTER PHOTOGRAPHY

« Mihama Festival - Oct. 5, 2003 | Main | Creativity - Circles »

This was a practice exercise - kind of like a homework assignment - to see what could be done using only the three primary colors - red, blue, and yellow. The only adjustments made to the photos were brightness and contrast adjustments (applied evenly to the entire image), and minimal cropping.

Notes: An exercise in primary colors - blue, red, and yellow. The brightness and contrast were increased. No cropping change. I came within inches of having my head run over by an old lady on a bicycle who didn't notice me taking the shot.

I know this is an old post, but I just found it. I have to admit I was fascinated with the exercise. The limits of creativity are pushed when you force yourself to use a limited color palette in your pictures. I must say that's very clever.
