"Designing the picture space" Part2

The second part of this section would be about color use and how color is used in photographs. Color is typically used in photographs if the photographer wants to add emotion or moods. In a photograph, color isn't just to make the picture stand out but also uses visual ques. Lines, textures, and shapes are examples. Reds , Greens, and Yellows are considered to be warm colors while the Blues, and Greens are cool colors. Being a photographer you have to be open to different colors and how they are being used. Here is an example of color with a picture of some mountains in Whitefish, MT the photographer is Jim Purdy. In this photograph you can tell that there is a couple of main focuses which are; mountains, rainbow, and the floor ground. In this photograph the mountains are rigid which causes for a more dramatic look and the colorful rainbow adds for a more interesting picture.
