Digital cameras offer today’s photographer
incredible fl exibility. No more carrying two or
more SLR bodies loaded with different fi lm stocks, or a
bag of colour correction fi lters to counterbalance
unwanted colour shifts in different lighting conditions
(well, you can still carry fi lters – more on that later).
You can now add colour, take it away, make it subtle,
make it vivid, make it colder, make it warmer – all in a
matter of seconds using a single camera. To create
unforgettable images though, you still need to
understand the basics of colour theory. You need the
ability to judge the colour of light and a knowledge of
when you’re camera’s going to get it wrong.
This book gives you all the information you need to
start taking more control of your photography. We
show you exactly why certain colours combined in a
single frame can be used to increase the power of your
shots, while others can turn perfectly composed,
beautifully exposed photographs into painful viewing
experiences. You’ll also fi nd a useful guide to
Photoshop’s colour enhancement tools towards the
back of the back – see what can happen when you go
to extremes…
