Like most of you, I’m not fond of shooting at midday as the light is colorless, just pure white light.
A tone is created when you add both white and black (in effect, gray) to a hue. Depending on the ratio of white and black added, a tone can be lighter or darker than the original hue, but is always less saturated and intense.
In fact, all warm colors — not only red, but also orange and yellow — advance. Cooler colors recede, falling into the background. By combining advancing and receding colors, you can make your subject pop and add depth to your image.
More than two-thirds of the earth and 100% of the sky is covered with blue, so is it surprising that it’s such a well-liked color? Blue is the most popular color worldwide, followed by purple, then red and green.
Blue is considered the most stable and reliable color, as well as the sincerest. Blue is also restful; it promotes peace and tranquility. Lying on your back on the warm sand or green grass and looking up at a blue sky is relaxing no matter what the season.
