In our last tutorial we were set the task to take an image that showed alot of light and colour and to analyse them plus other group members work. I had taken some photos when we went on a trip to Barcelona and two in particular I feel show light and colour.
This image is a bit out of focus how being taken at night time I feel has really bought out the colour's and lighting. When you first look at the image you are immediately drawn towards the bright glare from the lampposts which bring out the bright and vivid colours of the trees. What I really liked about this image is the strong reflection in the water which shows the lighting and colours, I feel that the balance between dark and light works well.
The image is easy to the viewers eye and in my opinion is not too busy (easy layout) When you look at the photo your eyes are immediately drawn towards towards the brightest light in the foreground and is then guided down the row of lights leading to the background of the photo until the lights are out of focus.
It could have a bit more colour but I feel that having just the one colour works well giving the photo a more bolder effect.
Now, this photo is probably my favourite because of the bright and bold colours that users are immediately drawn to. This photo does lack the lighting but when I took this image I used the natural lighting because I felt that the colours were so powerful that I did not need to provide lighting.
The photo spills over the frame and so it is quite hard for the viewers to know where to start looking but I like the way that the colours blend and complement each other. When I look at this photo I also get a sense of warmth because of the strong reds and yellows used in the photo. This photo is a flatter then the other photo however this photo shows different textures from the fruits and being more in focus shows alot more stronger detail.
Like I said above this photo only really lacks lighting but I still feel that the powerful colours balances this out.

I think this is a blatant display of colour. There are the bright yellows, oranges, reds and then even some greens in there giving this a dramatic and quite punchy feel. Also, the way in which the fruit has been arranged means that we get blocks of colour, and this distinction between colours provides a contrast, drawing the eye. It has almost a mosaic quality to it.
You are right too, Sarah. The way that the actual content of the image expands further than the edges of the photo, impacts on our overall impression of all the colour. From wall to wall, it is non-stop colour.
You could say light is provided by the colour. If we were to have dull, dank objects it would draw the piece down and make it seem darker. On the contrary, this bright, colourful picture is vivid, bold and vibrant, featuring the warmer hues of the colour spectrum. The image, to me, has the feel of being sourced somewhere overshores, perhaps tropical... and sure enough, the photo was taken in Barcelona; a sunny, vibrant location.
When comparing to my own selections, all I will say is nature again, really does provide.
