Photography Basics: Color - Monday, Second Period [05/13].

Still sort of riding the high of yet another successful Mother's Day for Liz in the books (so much mint chocolate! So much adorable, indecipherable babble as Noctra explained to her everything she'd drawn on the card they'd made for her! So many things handwavily from Pick Your Poison cluttering up their bathtub now!), Prompto was bouncy and eager to get started with class, grinning as usual from the front of the room.

"Hey, everyone," he greeted them, "and welcome to Another Photography Class!" He cocked a finger gun at them, as well as a grin, chuckling a little sheepishly that he'd done that and then just quickly moving on. "This one's going to be focused on the use of color, and it's a pretty simple concept: each week, we'll focus on a color, you'll have some homework to build up a small portfolio of about four to six pictures, and then you'll show them off the following week before we get into the next color. We'll talk about the mood and effect that those colors can have when utilized certain ways, and talk about some examples in the color scheme. Pretty simple, right? If not, please, don't hesitate to ask me question, but I'm sure you'll start to pick up what I'm putting down as we get into it more.

"First, though, of course, especially since I see a new face," he gave a nod to Stewart assuming he was there OMG, "is introductions. I'd like to grab your name, how much experience you have in photography, and what you're hoping to get from this class. And, once we're done with that, we're going to take a moment to make sure everyone knows how to use the equipment. We really want to use digital for this class," a nod in particular to Arden and Stark, since they were in his last class and knew just how many different methods there could be!, "it just makes sharing the pictures so much easier. If you've already got a digital camera you know and love, great, you can totally use that! But, if you don't, or you just want to try something new, I've got some pretty sweet new cameras from the shop you can borrow."

(Was he a little partial to the Canon EOS series for very sentimental reason? You fucking bet he was!)

"And once we're done with that, we'll just right into some photos. We're doing the full color spectrum, so that means we'll be starting with red, but first! Any volunteers to kick us off on the introductions?"

He then blinked, and realized, "Oh, wait! I guess I should probably do one, too!" He laughed a little. "Okay, so I'll volunteer. My name's Prompto Argentum, I've been passionate about photography ever since I was a little kid, and now I bring my passion to you guys through these classes! I've also got a professional photography business if you ever need a photographer, and my wife and I run the Photo Hut here in town! And, for this class, I'm really hoping to see some great photos from you guys! Oh! Hey, we should also say our favorite colors! Mine's definitely yellow! Okay, enough about me! Who's next?"

"I'm Stark," Stark said. "I've mostly taken pictures with my phone but I used other cameras this spring in another class."

Which multiple people here knew already but that was fine.

"I just want to learn more. I like doing this even if I'm not very good at it yet. And it would be nice to be better so I can take nicer photos on trips. And... blue. Blue is my favorite. Though I'm fond of pink as well."

Hush.

Stark was going to ignore that smirk thank you very much.

"Blue is a very good color. It's... soothing, sometimes, and it reminds me of good things."

He nodded a little. "So does pink. But in a different way. I'm looking forward to taking more photos on the next trip for the school. Or maybe if I go somewhere without the school."

Ireland was supposed to be very pretty, right?
