Color shooting skills in photography

The artistic expression of photography includes many aspects, and the accurate expression of photographic color is the most important. Photography is colorful, and both the natural world and the man-made world are full of infinitely rich and ever-changing colors.

In the actual shooting process, in order to achieve the expected color balance, it is necessary to exchange different shooting angles, shoot from different distances or even switch to different lenses. Let's take a look at how to master the color balance in photography and make beautiful works!

1 cold and warm colors

Colors can make photos have strong emotions. Blue is a cool color, especially blue with purple tendency. When blue is dominant, the audience will feel trembling. In the blue picture, if there is yellow or red, it will make people feel warm. It is necessary to use colors flexibly in photos to control the audience's overall impression of photos.

The photographer's landscape works were successful with excellent cool blue tones. Every place in the photo reveals the meaning of winter, peace and tranquility. In the early morning, there are many unknown grasses and small trees on the frozen river in the backlight, which are covered by the cold fog in the early morning. Although the sun is blocked by clouds, the picture presents a kind of sacredness and beauty.

Warm colors will bring a warm and pleasant feeling to the audience, or tend to stimulate and enhance the power of images.

Good photos can be taken even in bad weather.

Bad weather can also take good photos, making familiar things look completely different. So go out to take pictures in rainy and snowy weather, thanks to fog and sandstorm. New photos are waiting there.

Sometimes, the overall color of the city is so different from what we usually see that it is difficult to recognize where it is. In this work, the Great Wall is shrouded in purple mist, reflecting the red leaves at the foot of the mountain, adding a sense of historical vicissitudes.

For example, bad weather can also take good photos. A telephoto lens can compress scenes, including things as small as snowflakes. In addition, the longer the focal length, the shallower the depth of field. When using this kind of lens, it is also interesting to try different shapes and patterns for defocusing effect.
