Photography, like writing, requires a certain amount of emotion.

Fog Zhangjiang, hazy dim, confused.

Blue sky and white clouds, clear translucent, brisk.

Black clouds attack the city, depressing depressing, lost.

Pictures can be a substitute for our voice, sometimes, a picture of the thousand words.

Why is the latter an integral part of photography? Because photography as an art, its purpose is not entirely to restore, but the need to doping a certain degree of the author's subjective intentions, and later, is to help us better complete the expression of subjective intention.

In the graphic design, the general white to represent the thin, clean, black to represent the thick, textured, the same size of the circle, Black will give people a heavier feeling, this is the result of human visual experience.

The higher the purity of a color, the more colorful the color, the more attractive the line of sight, so, if a number of high purity of color gathered together, will give people a complex feeling.

Similarly, the lower the purity of the color, the more peaceful, less aggressive, giving a quiet feeling.

Warm color is the expansion of colors, cold color is shrinking color, warm color to the feeling is hot and expanding, cold color to the feeling is cool and convergent, this is the result of human visual experience.

With the above three principles in mind, we can understand how photography affects mood. Taking our common Japanese photography as an example, Japanese photography is generally higher brightness, lower saturation, and blue, which is actually because it uses the principle of vision, by creating a clean, peaceful, cool visual feeling to affect the audience.

Therefore, how to rationally use and adjust color is something we have to learn later on.

For example this picture:

Purple gives people the feeling is quiet and beautiful, it belongs to the neutral color of warm color, give people a sense of stimulation is not strong.

We can change the color appearance of the picture through the color temperature tool:

About the color temperature tool: Color temperature is the light in different energy, people's eyes feel the color change, to Kelvin (K) for color temperature calculation unit, simply said that the color of the light, K value the higher the color temperature is more cold. White balance, refers to the camera to restore white to white, in order to correct the screen color deviation process. In the era of digital photography, white balance is based on color temperature, when the camera set the color temperature value and the external color temperature consistent, the camera can be the correct performance of white. Now a lot of digital cameras and raw processing software to provide some fixed color temperature preset, such as cloudy, sunny, tungsten and so on. You can also adjust the temperature values in the machine by setting the value of Kelvin (K). When the external color temperature is certain, the higher the temperature in the machine, the warmer the picture is. Because the higher the color temperature in the machine, the information to the machine is the more cold outside color, in order to correctly display white, will increase the warm colors to achieve balance. Photographers usually set different color temperature values to achieve their own purpose of expression.

Get the picture as shown:

At this time the appearance of the picture has a fundamental change, however, the color temperature tool can only make a general adjustment, can not be very accurate adjustment, the overall picture or red, we use the orange in the HSL:

Effect as shown:

This time the color is the standard warm colors, the expansion of color, the overall feeling is warm, brilliant, with aggression.

HSL: able to make more accurate adjustment, you can adjust for different colors, there are red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, purple, magenta. You can adjust to their hue (adjusted to similar colors, such as orange to yellow), saturation (color saturation), lightness (color brightness) Three aspects of adjustment, which is based on color classification criteria.
