STRONG COLOUR
There are several techniques for making colours strong and insistent in photo- graphs . One of the most obvious is to choose lenses and viewpoints that allow you to be selective . As we have already seen , large - scale views are not usually strongly covered overall , mainly because there is a large mixture of objects . Flowers growing at the edge of a wood become lost as you step further back . Closing in has the opposite effect . For this reason , both a macro lens and a telephoto can be used to isolate one or two strong colours from duller sur- roundings .
The lighting also plays a key role . If you use flash or other photographic lamps , you have complete control , but even in natural light you have the important option of waiting for the right angle of the sun , or better weather conditions . Generally , the best conditions for showing a colour at its most intense are full lighting with the least shadows and least reflections . If you look back to some of the examples of sunlit scenes , you can see that back- lighting in various degrees is strong on atmosphere and depth , but weak on colour . Frontal lighting , however , with the sun behind the camera or slightly to one side , enhances colour richness . On the same principle , so does a camera- mounted flash , with the exception that a shiny surface is likely to throw back reflections that drown the colour .
Overcast weather that gives flat , diffused light can also give good colour intensity , simply because shadows and reflections are at a minimum . Because we are conditioned to think of dull light as being weak , the colour may not seem so strong , but , provided that you close in tightly on a single hue , it will be on the film .
Another control that you can exercise is over the amount of light - by means of exposure . As an exercise , take a bright , pure colour , and photograph it at several exposure settings . The darker exposures will be the most intense . Slide film is particularly good with this technique for increasing colour saturation .
ABOVE The red of this jacket is already strong , but it has been deepened further by using low - angle , warm sunlight . Colours such as yellow and orange also benefit from this kind of treatment .
RIGHT Strong frontal lighting , where the sun is behind the camera , makes colours richer than if they were shot backlit . Moving close in to the subject also accentuates rich colour .
ABOVE Fit a macro lens and a whole new world of strong colour opens up before you . Using a close - up lens helps isolate one or two strong colours , and careful composition helps eliminate potentially distracting hues from the scene .
LEFT When using slide film , try underexposing by between one half and one full stop to increase colour saturation . To test this , shoot several frames of a single scene at various exposures ; the darker ones will feature the more intense hues .
