How to capture the beauty of color in tourism photography

In the process of tourism, the first is the influence of beautiful scenery on the formation of human vision. Tourism photography first sees color in the picture, and different colors can form different pictures. A good tourist photo should not only have a clear theme and distinct layers, but also have bright colors. If you want to take good photos of tourism photography, you must learn to use the emotional characteristics of various colors and skillfully use various modeling methods such as light and angle to capture and freeze the beautiful pictures with bright colors in the colorful natural world.

Baodian 1: Select the main color.

The subject color is generally the color of the subject image, which is the visual center of the picture color. When choosing a color as the main color of the picture, we should pay attention to the contrast relationship among the main color, the accompanying color and the background color, and establish the color composition of the picture through the area difference of color blocks in the picture, the relationship between the main color and the background color, and the lightness and saturation between colors, thus forming visual impact and artistic expression.

Attention should be paid to the selection of main colors in tourism photography:

First, the colors in nature are rich and colorful, but the composition of colors should be chosen, and strive to be concise and lively. The color layout of the picture must first ensure the prominent position of the main color in area and position.

Second, in order to make the main color more vivid, we should set off some primary colors and strengthen the main color.

Book 2: Choose Contrast Colors.

The color aesthetic feeling of tourism photography photos does not lie in the single color itself, but depends on the contrast of different colors. For example, when shooting a mountain peak shaded by green trees in summer, because the main color of the picture is green and the color is monotonous, the aesthetic feeling of the shot picture is much inferior; In autumn, under the rendering of large yellow leaves and red leaves, the beauty of color contrast is prominent, and the photos taken at this time are full of poetry and painting.

The clever use of contrasting colors can highlight the main body. Attention when shooting:

First, we should choose the color with high saturation to express the emotional color of the creative theme and form a visual impact on people.

Second, there should be fewer colors in the composition, and the contrast between colors should be harmonious, otherwise colorful will make people feel dazzling.

Third, the framing composition should choose a simple background, and try to remove some attachments of other colors, so that the main body and the background form a clear contrast.

Book 3: Choose Soft Tones

Soft tones can give people a sense of peace and tranquility. When taking photos with soft tones, you need to grasp:

When shooting under strong light, the exposure compensation value can be reduced by one step, which makes the photo more layered; When the weather visibility is low, such as shooting in foggy days, the exposure compensation value can be raised by one step; When shooting in low light, the exposure compensation value can be raised appropriately.

The shooting time should be chosen to avoid the period when the direct sunlight is strongest at noon. At this time, the light ratio is too large, and the photos taken are too bright and dark, with great contrast and lack of femininity.

When shooting portraits, you can choose an environment with sufficient light, appropriately increase the exposure compensation value by one or two steps, measure the facial light of people by half pressing the shutter, and then press the shutter after framing and composition to get a "cream color" shooting effect.

Volume IV: Adjusting and Optimizing the Color Parameters of Digital Cameras Most people think that color optimization is done with Photoshop and other software in the later stage, while ignoring the internal settings of the camera.

In fact, as long as you know the color settings of the camera and adjust the corresponding parameters when shooting, you can take photos with different color effects.

Digital cameras have standard, portrait, scenery, neutral, monochrome and other functional settings, and some brand cameras are even subdivided into portraits, children, pets, beaches, snow scenes, night scenes, fireworks, food and so on. Most mid-to high-end cameras can also manually adjust important parameters that affect color effects, such as hue, sharpness, contrast and saturation. For example, if saturation, contrast and contrast parameters are increased by one step respectively, the effect of contrast color will be obtained. Of course, to master the adjustment method of these parameters, you need to carefully consult the manual of your digital camera.

In addition, the use of polarizer can also adjust the color effect of digital camera. Pan Jiaodi
