SUMMARY Color photography
Light source and color film
The two main types of color film are balanced for tungsten light ( 3.200K ) or daylight ( 5,500K ) . Orange ( tungsten film ) or blue ( daylight film ) correction filters should be used if you want to use films with other light sources , For the best results always try to work on film of the nearest bal ance to the lighting .
Unless you want to create a special effect , such as shown below . avoid working in mixed lighting of different color temperatures .
Color contrast
Color contrast is formed by dif- ferences in hue as well as tone . You can use contrasting hues of the same tone , contrasting tones of the same hue , or combinations of both . A primary color and its complementary , such as blue and yellow , adjacent to each other create the greatest contrast .
Colors are greatly affected by their surroundings . When sur- rounded by black they tend to appear brighter ; white surround- ings make colors appear richer .
Color harmony
Harmonious colors are located . close to each other on the color circle . They do not necessarily fall into the groupings of " warm " and " cold " colors . A single dominant color , used in a range of tones to give depth and form , will give a particularly strong , harmonious picture . Atmospheric conditions , such as haze , help to enhance color harmony . Mis - matching film and lighting , using pale filters , or under- or overexposing can also . increase color harmony .
Muted color
Muted , or desaturated , color can either include a full range of tones , as above , or be restricted to pale tones ( high key ) or dark tones ( low key ) . Under most conditions , over- exposure gives a high key effect . Underexposure gives a darker , low key image with black shadows and rich color in the highlights . High key pictures are enhanced by using pastel colored subjects , and diffused front lighting . Low key pictures often use rich colored subjects and high contrast lighting .
Strong colors
Fully saturated colors - with al- most no black , gray or white- are the strongest , most intense colors . They have to be used care- fully as they easily detract from the main subject , and can confuse shapes and forms . Color saturation can be intensified by a polarizing filter , which suppresses some surface reflections and darkens blue skies . Direct lighting , clear atmospheric conditions and subjects with shiny ( or wet ) surfaces help to give an image maximum color brilliance .
Distorted color
Manipulating color , either locally or overall , can create interesting results ; but if over - done the result can appear too contrived . Gradu- ated or strong filters , combined with under- or overexposure of a high contrast subject , alter subject colors . Infra - red sensitive color film gives a distorted rendering of subject colors , such as shown above . The exact results are dif- ficult to predict , but you can often make dramatic pictures from quite simple subjects .
