What are the causes of cold and warm colors?

Landscape photography has always been one of the favorite subjects for beginners to learn photography, involving a wide range of knowledge. We can understand it through basic composition and lighting skills, and we can also add charm to the beautiful scenery in front of us based on the conditions of nature itself. The following is the knowledge about tone in photography that I carefully recommend for you, hoping to help you.

The formation of warm colors is called warm colors, which can give people a warm and comfortable feeling. Main colors refer to red, orange, yellow and their hues.

Warm colors symbolize the sun, flame, etc. , giving people a positive, enthusiastic, active and unrestrained feeling. Generally speaking, we define the general tendency of picture color from hue, lightness, cold and warm, purity and other aspects. The color tone changes are rich and varied, and so do warm colors.

Let's analyze the reasons for the formation of warm colors:

Influence of warm light source: in landscape photography, the light formed by sunrise and sunset is warm, and the scenery is often warm under the cover of warm light source.

Inherent color is warm color: the inherent color of an object also plays an important role in hue. In normal light, the primary colors of the subject are warm colors, or most of them are warm colors, so the works taken must be warm colors.

Use warm color filter: shooting landscape works with warm color filter will show warm color.

The formation of cool colors gives people a sense of tranquility, peace, coolness and coldness. The main colors are blue, green and black. It symbolizes the blue sky, the sea, forests, glaciers and so on.

The formation process of cool tone is as follows:

Direct influence of light source: in landscape photography, if the scenery is shrouded in a mist, light blue moonlight or silvery white world in winter, these scenery themselves are called cool works.

Application of Inherent Color: Inherent color is the most basic factor to determine hue. In winter, leaves fall and grass withers, showing a grayish brown tone; The deep blue sea under the blue sky and white clouds is a cool scenery. It is these dominant cool colors that determine the tone of the picture.

The function of the cold color filter: when shooting landscape works suitable for cold colors, use the cold color filter to make the picture look cold.

The application of contrast color in landscape photography, in order to make the picture have strong visual tension and contrast effect, skillfully using color contrast is a good way to create the best visual effect.

According to the color circle, we divide color contrast into weak contrast and strong contrast: the colors in the adjacent areas on the color circle are called weak contrast; The opposite color on the color circle is called strong contrast color.

For example, blue and yellow are in sharp contrast; For another example, red and green, blue and green in the three primary colors are also in sharp contrast.
