For this experiment I used a green garage door and my red
sofa. For both subjects, I used the AV function on my camera, allowing for
automatic shutter speed setting and varied the exposure compensation gradually
from -2 to +2.
The images gradually change from very dark to very light shades
of green and red as exposure increases. At the lighter end of the scale, both hues appear as pastel shades, the red taking on more of the qualities of pink. This also has an effect on the strength
of the colours. The colours in both images appear to be most intense at half a
stop below average exposure and seem gradually less intense as they become darker and lighter. This would be something to bear in mind when
attempting to show strong, bold colours in my photography.
