For the library contest-

From Nick at the Library-

For the next blog post, I want you to really think about the colors in the images.

The photos for this assignment should be shot as homework (this is advanced photo after all).

1. Contrasting colors- Info on it HERE and a great post on it HERE.

2. Monochromatic color schemes- HERE and HERE and HERE

3. Analogous color scheme- HERE and HERE and HERE

Shoot quite a few images, shoot lots of images. Really think about the colors, but also think about composition, white balance (of course) and get creative with the images!

EDIT- Another GREAT resource to look at, BEFORE AND AFTER MAGAZINE.
