Mastering color is an important occasion for every good photographer. To achieve the skills, knowledge of the primary colors and complementary colors, is necessary. We define these basic concepts and to teach them to use it to better pictures.

The great physicist James Clerk Maxwell showed in 1859 that each color can be obtained in light of the age of three bands of color, red, green and blue. Because of over-projection of these three rays on aWhite screen and a precise determination of their intensity, so that each color can be achieved. This is the basis of correspondence with the name "additive." These three colors (red, green and blue, o) While the primary RGB. The addition of all colors with maximum intensity, resulting in white, black is the absence of light.

Each primary color has a "complementary." The complementary color of a particular primary color is defined as the coloradded to the base color is white light. We can show (but we do not), the demonstration show that the complementary colors of red, green and blue are the colors cyan, magenta and yellow, respectively. As a photographer must always keep in mind are simply (basic and supplemental) pairs of colors:

(Red, cyan)

(Green, Magenta)

(blue, yellow)

Masterful control of complementary colors in the image is essential. Game complementary colors alwaysContrast color efficient. Therefore, if an object from its background should be a substantial integration of the subject. Good examples are the fall leaves yellow on Sky blue or magenta flowers on green foliage. The main topic will be immediately assumed the attention of the viewer. No matter how small the main theme, if there is an additional fund is always an important element of composition. UsuallyIt will examine all the attention.

Similar colors are not harmonious and complementary. If only the harmonious colors in an image are available, the color is usually not the main attraction. Other basic elements of the game, like the shape and texture. An example would be the green grass on blue sky background. Let me give you some advice: if you intend to take a shot of green grass, the backlight for a stunning effect, so that the bright green and shiny. So keep in mind that the managementSunlight is important. Be careful if you are compositions with similar colors to white and black. Often, what seems to be clear and well defined in the colorful world seem to be in black and white and opaque.

Now you know how to compose an image with high contrast, or rather, a harmonic framework. All this from a color standpoint. Now it's time for something better you can do is experiment, what you have heard correctly.
