How to use color 1 in landscape photography. Using color temperature difference skillfully to take excellent photos.

Affected by the weather change and color temperature, the color of the scenery taken in different time periods will be different. Photographers can adjust the exposure combination according to the theme to be expressed to make the tone and color change of photos more attractive.

Second, the influence of environment on the color of scenery

Nature is a complex world, and different environments present different colors. Some ordinary landscapes will also show very beautiful colors under the changes of seasons, climate, light and time. Each scene has its own different environmental characteristics and emotional appeal, such as the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which gives people a feeling of simplicity and elegance. Islands and fishing villages give people a sense of activity; Forests and plateaus give people a sense of grandeur. This feeling of nature is the key point in choosing scenery.

Jianghu always gives people a broad momentum. For landscape photography, the surrounding environment can not only render the subject, but also reflect the artistic conception that the photographer wants to express.

In the morning and evening, the sun is weak, and when the sun shines on the earth, it will show warm colors. When the sun rises in Ran Ran, the earth, which had been sleeping all night, gradually wakes up and is completely enveloped in warm light. Everything in front of us is warm. Photographers measure the light in the middle of the sky, and then adjust the exposure compensation value according to the picture effect, showing the river covered by light in the form of dark tones, which is perfectly integrated with the environment.

Third, the color contrast is strong and the subject is distinct.

Color contrast can enhance the visual impact of the picture and deepen people's impression of the photo. There are many different contrast laws of colors, such as cold and warm, deep and shallow, bright and dark. In landscape photography, the use of color has its own characteristics.

The greater the color difference between the subject and the background, the stronger the visual effect, the more distinct and prominent the subject, and the greater the attraction to the viewer. The golden plateau is particularly dazzling under the sunlight, and the blue sky serves as the background to set off the color of the middle part of the picture. The colors of the lake and the sky match each other, and the whole picture is warm and cold, which has a strong visual impact. Many photographers will take their cameras to have fun and record interesting pictures around them when traveling.

Fourth, beautiful autumn colors.

When the autumn leaves on the treetops turn golden yellow, it is announced that autumn has officially arrived. Autumn is the harvest season, and it is also the season when leaves wither. No matter in the mountain stream or the jungle, you can see fallen leaves falling on the ground everywhere. This unique gold leaf has become a beautiful scenery in autumn.

Autumn is full of exciting colors such as gold, orange and brown. Even if the colors of this season are no longer bright, its soft tones will give people a warm and comfortable feeling.

When shooting beautiful leaves in autumn, the feeling of the picture is different because of the different time and the different color of the subject. The red leaves in late autumn are the key performance objects, and a large area of fallen leaves covers the earth. The colors such as yellow and orange in the picture form a warm and soft tone, which embodies the unique charm of autumn.

Five, clever use of shadows

In the color expression of landscape photography, light and shadow are an indispensable part. The shadow part in the picture can not only give the photo deeper meaning, but also enhance the appreciation of the picture.

Sixth, take a landscape photo with a filter.

In landscape photography, photographers should shoot according to the theme they want to express and the surrounding environment. If the light is too strong, the photo may be overexposed, thus affecting the overall color of the picture. At this time, photographers can shoot with the help of peripherals and cameras, such as filter series products. This kind of products include many devices, such as UV mirror, sky mirror, soft mirror, polarizer, medium gray mirror and so on. These auxiliary devices can avoid the failure of shooting works caused by light or water surface and glass reflection.

For photographers, the most common and practical filter is a polarizer. Polarizer can eliminate polarized light in the picture and highlight the color of the picture. In landscape photography, the use of polarizer can highlight the color of blue sky and white clouds, making the color of landscape photos more saturated and clear. However, it should also be noted that in order to maximize the role of polarizer, it is necessary to adjust the shooting angle. When the light source and the shooting direction are 90? Still close to 90? Polarizers have the most obvious effect of eliminating reflection.
