Research

This is a product image of a pair of Adidas shoes. This image appeals to me because of the simple but pleasing colour tone. With a small assortment of colour, only the slight variation of greys and white, we get to focus on the product. Also, the linear placements of the laces give the image a certain structure.

I really enjoy this image as the watch as the product. The simple slick design of the picture enables easy viewing with the colour variation between gold and grey/blue works very well together. Also, the image of the watch being discovered within the rock gives the idea of striking gold with this watch.

I was drawn towards this image of Chanel cologne. This is due to its exceptional colouring with the contrasting gold and black. The large shadow also sends the message that despite the bottle small  size, it can still offer a lot.

An image demonstrating the focus point that contains a sharp brightness witch is a contrast to the background.

This image shows the little or no contrast between the subject and the background with focus still being implemented onto the subject.

This image is a demonstration of objects at different distances in the focal pint and the auto focus upon the subject.

White Balance Lab

Image 1
This image is a daylight white balance preset, I like it as it contains the sunlight well while still allowing  an appropriate amount of exposure.

Image 2
This image was taken with the shadow white balance preset, I feel it works as the shaded area is clearly visible despite the glaring background behind it.

Image 3
This image was taken with the Fluro. Daylight white balance preset. I wasn't a fan of the lack of vibrant colours and the dominance of the black.

Image 4
This is an adjusted image of image 3. I highlighted the black and the whites in this image to better outline and highlight the objects in the image. I also modified the colouring of the image to give it a more warm and vibrant feel.
