Colours

Dont you think its interesting that these buttons we see at ATMs actually have the same colour combinations as traffic lights? The use of these colours on a traffic light was thought to originate from the nautical right-of-way.

The above picture of the pebbles was shot outside the University Cultural Hall. Basically, 3 colours can be seen here. Reddish-brown, black (which looks bluish under the lighting/incorrect white balance) and a little green at the top of the photo.

I felt the composition of this photo could be improved by taking it from a lower angle, giving it a better varied field of depth. This photo looks quite flat now and the lightings on the pebbles look too harsh. Perhaps shooting this on a sunny day, where there is a warm cast of light would be better.

Colours can actually draw strong emotional and psychological responses. It is possible to create a feeling of excitement and energy with some colours, but an air of tranquility with others.

This shot of a chair was taken at the University Hall. Basically, I contrasted the red chair against the grey wall. Red on its own is a very strong colour and gives the feeling of passion and to the chinese, its also auspicious colour. Having contrasted the red chair against a neutral grey coloured wall, the colour of the chair is further enhanced.
