Project Three Color and Grids

Mood
This photo is the image I used to represent mood. What I wanted was a picture that more so had a dark and scary mood. I asked my sister to sit by our stairs and look scared. After taking several photos with her doing different positions I decided on one that was just her sitting looking out. I wanted this to represent hopefulness. To make this photo express the mood I wanted, I changed it so it was black and white. After changing the color I brightened it so that the image was still visible, yet dark. Overall the mood I was trying to portray would be someone scared, sad and lonely and a cold feeling. 
Color Complements
The two colors I used to complement each other were red and green.  The green flower used to be white and was actually on a lilly-pad. I zoomed into the photo and changed the temperature to give it a green color and then intensified the tint. The red Daisy used to be a darker red and I brightened it. I cropped the photo an duplicated both to create this image. The mood of this photo is bright and happy and I tried to show that through my colors. 



My Choice
This photo was actually of the sunset. When I took it their was a branch in the view and I thought it looked very cool to have  the light sky and a darker tree branch. For this photo I cropped the whole bottom half. I also brightened the colors to show a contrast in the photo. To make the grid I copied the photo and changed the positions around. I also took two pictures of the sunset and combined them so each section has two pictures. I choose this picture because I really like the colors and the leaves in it. I think it gives off an optimistic feel. 

Color Harmonies
This photo is also of a sunset. To create these images I changed the temperature and tint tell I reached the color that I thought best benefited the photo. I started off with a grayish tone and went all the way up to yellow. I feel that these images all work together really well and create a nice variety of color. 
Monocrome Grid
For this grid, I used two different flowers in a variety of angles and positions to create a unique picture. I cropped some images and zoomed in on others. I used black and white to make these images more uniformed and changes the brightness. On most of the flowers I made the petals have high clarity to contrast with the stem. Overall I wanted this photo to look uniformed even with the different pictures.
