EX87 Emotional Colours
In this weeks exercise I want you to try modifying the colours in a colour photograph to enhance the mood and emotions in the photograph.
See if you can effectively improve the emotions in the photograph by altering the colours.
For this exercise try global changes to your photograph. Though you may want to use other changes if you so wish.
We can alter the colours in many different ways in Lightroom. Each processing software has different methods. In Lightroom these are:
Change the profile in Lightroom
Change the tint and / or colour temperature in the white balance settings. This gives you two scales. The blue / yellow scale is the Kelvin Scale while the red / green is the tint scale.
Changing the ‘Hue’ of individual colours in the HSL control panel
Split toning and adding hues to the highlights and / or shadows
Through the calibration panel in lightroom. This gives you a different range of hues to play with. Green to purple, magenta to orange, yellow to cyan and cyan to blue.
Play with the RGB tone curves
Alternatively, you can play with colour temperature and tint adjustments in your camera and alter the mood and emotions when you take the photographs.
In this exercise you can post up to three different scenes, and have a couple of different interpretations of each colour palette for each scene. Alternatively you can just post one photograph with the version of colours that you have settled on. When we discuss these we will be looking at how the colours effects the emotional reading of the photograph.
