Primary and Secondary colours

Each of these photographs were taken on an automatic setting and also on a setting half a stop brighter and half a stop darker. Generally the closest colour match to the colour wheel varied with different exposures (i.e. no uniform exposure gave the closest match in each case) maybe because as mentioned in the course work some basic colours can vary much more than others. This was an interesting exercise in discovering the diversity of colours and I enjoyed trying to find close matches to the colour wheel especially in nature. On reflection I can see that the blue and purple colours were too similar and not very good matches!
