Week 9 (part one) - Red Theme, Homework

One of the discussions we had in class this week was focussing on colours and how to use these in photography, as a result our homework was to shoot images with this in mind.  I got out and about near where I live this weekend and also had a hunt around the flat for anything Red which I decided was going to be my theme after driving past the firestation.

During the day and as you can see from the above settings one of the elements which completely skipped my mind whilst shooting was the ISO.  As you can see I had set the ISO to 400 and never revisted this.  I can say in all honestly I'd simply forgotten to consider this when running around looking for Red subjects. 

Becomming aware of this later in the day I did then add this to my considerations when shooting subjects back home.  I decided to shoot close up (when indoors) and added light by using a bed side lamp pointing this from different directions to see what effect it would have.  I also looked at using white balance to see how this would impact on the images, I have added a few examples below.  These were all taken using the same camera settings changing only the white balance (ISO 100, F/4.5).
