"Basic"
Contrast color
Art is common, anyway, in my opinion, art and photography, in some aspects, can be used to learn from each other.
I am playing photography and I became a monk halfway. I have never taken a systematic course or read any professional books. I have all figured out them out bit by bit.
Looking back, if anything helps me a little bit of my photography progress, then I think it should be the art I have learned in those years.
In fact, art techniques are helpful in many aspects for photography, such as composition and layout, such as what I want to say today: use color.
People who study art or art are all familiar with the concepts of contrasting colors or complementary colors.
. Mastering this concept is actually a "key to win" to take good photos.
has a lot of introductions to this aspect online, so I should try to be simpler.
There are thousands of colors in the world, but they are all composed of three primary colors - that is, red, yellow and blue.
This creates a color circle.
Look at this color ring carefully. Among the colors above, the two colors between 130 degrees and 180 degrees apart can be called contrasting colors. The larger the angle, the stronger the contrast relationship.
For example, the yellow, green and blue between red and 130°~180° is the contrasting color.
. When the contrast angle of the two colors reaches 180 degrees, it becomes a complementary color, and the contrast between the two colors is the strongest.
such as red and green.
Usually, when we want to take some contrasting photos, we must use this concept well.
For example, many people say that when we go to grasslands and forests, we will make a better appearance.
What it uses is the concept of complementary colors. Photos like
will give people a great visual impact, and the characters will highlight the environment and be very eye-catching.
And if you are wearing orange clothes, the grass is not as green as it is.
On the color ring, you can see that the spacing between these two colors is less than 90 degrees, and this color is actually the same color.
photos will look much softer, and the characters are not that prominent.
Then, if you understand this concept, what is the use of taking photos?
gives two simple examples.
This scene, I took pictures of the person in front of the stands.
If you just take a random shot, the color tones of the photos are very uniform, they are all warm orange, you may also think that it is okay.
However, if I incorporate contrasting colors and when the large screen is a blue light source, the complementarity of blue and orange will become a major contrasting highlight of the photo.
In fact, if you want the photo to have a subject and the subject is prominent.
must be good at observing, so that the colors of the subject and the overall environment complement each other.
For example, most of this scene is mainly blue. I use telephoto shooting. When selecting the subject, I choose this red as the subject.
Blue and red become contrasting colors, so the subject of the photo becomes clear and clear.
Of course, I emphasize contrast and complementarity, which does not mean that similar colors are useless when taking pictures.
In fact, the same colors are similar in color and the style is consistent. If we take pictures and want to present them, we are a whole. So, during the scene or later stage, try to avoid contrasting colors and complementary colors, and try to use similar colors.
@Grandpa, please give me fairy
For example, this photo was recommended by a masterpiece at that time. I said that its goodness is that the green and yellow inside are bright or dark, harmonious and unified, and are the same as each other.
And this photo only has bright yellow and green colors. Doesn’t it feel that the integrity is very strong?
The set of photos I took before is the same. The location of the photos is Olympic venue Ice Ribbon:
I hope to show that kind of ice and holy cold white tone,
So the characters' clothes are gray and blue, forming the same color as the environment, so that the characters and the environment are combined.
The photo gives people the feeling that it is very harmonious and quiet.
If at this time, you add a contrasting or complementary color, such as red.
You can read it again.
cannot be said to be bad, I can only say that it is another feeling, right?
, and this can actually be extended to another knowledge.
means that if the object you are photographing is similar in color to the environment, it cannot be compared.
So, when framing, you should pay special attention not to take some prominent contrasting colors in it, as not only the picture will appear chaotic, but the subject will also be eclipsed accordingly.
