MACROPHOTOGRAPHY TOOLS, TIPS & TECHNIQUES FOR DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHERS 2012 Importance of Colour Just as bees are attracted to colour, so are human beings. We react to different colours and colour combinations in predictable ways. Red is the most powerful colour and evokes feelings of passion or danger, which is why it’s not a surprise that stop signs and stop lights are red. Understanding the psychology of color is valuable to photographers and graphic designers and anyone wishing to take better pictures. Below are just a few elements to be aware of when you take photographs. White light is made up of a rainbow of colours that vary from warm reds and oranges to cooler greens, blues and violet. When the colours are organized into a colour wheel we recognize certain relationships between the colours. Complimentary colour Colours that are on opposite sides of the colour wheel are called complimentary colours and they possess contrast when displayed together. <strong>The</strong> image of the shooting star flowers appear to come forth in comparison to the yellow Heartleaf Golden Alexanders in the background. When complimentary colours are placed next to each other they make each other appear brighter. Robert Berdan | 59
