The colour of early morning

Our latest assignment was to try to capture the colour and feeling of early morning.  So everyone had sheets of cellophane hanging on c-stands to create coloured light.  My props were quite heavy to carry through the city, but I think it was worth it in the end.  I had a lot of fun and definitely learnt a few new techniques.

The first one is with blue and yellow light, the blue adding to the shadows and the yellow to the highlights.

Then we tried some red and blue

I couldn’t resist trying some gold and magenta light on this little girl set up.

Have you noticed some of the colours the light creates early in the morning?  It is amazing how the light’s colour can affect our mood.

Mood Challenge - i Heart Faces

This week’s challenge is to post an image in black and white with a mood.  Our family loves books and reading so much, I thought this image reflects the magic we find in books really well.

Light Reading

This week’s assignment for class is to use light to create a mood.  This is one of my images so far.  It still needs a little work, so I hope I get time (and kids with a bit of patience) to reshoot it again tonight.
