How to Get Rich Colors in Your Photograph

Lighting, exposure values, and lens quality make a difference in the way a camera may render color. Professional photographer Ken Rockwell says 90 percent of vivid color in your photographs begins in the camera. To achieve those rich colors, a photographer must take into consideration the factors that contribute to significant color rendition, which is embedded in the image information.

Instructions

1

Purchase high-quality lenses. Research how the glass represents color. Many camera-manufacturers have lenses for every price range and proficiency. Prime lenses, which are lenses with only one focal length (35mm, 50mm, 85mm) are crafted with high-quality glass which better represents color intensity and clarity. Standard camera-kit lenses don't have the same high-quality glass and don't represent color in the same manner. Higher quality glass usually is a substantial investment for the serious photographer.

2

Understand light-color and exposure. Light-color is the hue of natural light at certain times of day. Neutral light is closer to the morning into the afternoon while warmer colors are during the evening into sunset. Lighting and exposure are essential for brilliant color rendition. Determine the correct exposure by viewing the image on the LCD. An overexposed image is when the photograph is too bright. An image that is too dark -- or underexposed -- may suffer from too much contrast and make the color look over-saturated and dark.

3

Make an effort to search for places where there is dynamic color. Take notes on what time the light will have the most impact.

4

Capture glorious light, the light quality with the most impact. When shooting at dawn or dusk, the best light is the first and last few seconds of orange sunlight as the sun is rising or setting, Rockwell says. This typically occurs 15 minutes before or after sunrise or sunset. Plan to set up at least an hour before the calculated sunrise or sunset and be prepared to shoot at the appropriate time.

5

Review your camera settings to find options for JPEG and Raw. Select capture in Raw, or both if available. Shooting in Raw allows flexibility when post-processing the images within a photo-editor. The Raw file is the file's raw data without compression. This allows for a broader range of colors information and tonal range.

6

Set the parameters of your camera such as the saturation, contrast and white balance that will be attached to every image. Locate the parameters in your camera settings and use the plus sign to increase the parameters or the minus sign to decrease the parameters.

How to Photograph Buildings and Monuments

Taking pictures of buildings and monuments is one of the fun things most of us like to do on vacation; however, it doesn't take most of us long to realize the difficulty of this task. Why does the perspective look wrong and buildings all look like the Leaning Tower of Pisa? How far away do I have to be to get the entire building? Do I need to get the entire building? What is the best time of day to shoot this monument? Architectural photographers may take weeks to plan how they will photograph an edifice. They also might use a crane or a helicopter to get the best angle and light. Read on to discover some tips on how to take better pictures of building and monuments WITHOUT a helicopter!

Instructions

1




The first thing you have to grapple with is perspective. Notice how the towers of Notre Dame are kind of leaning to the left. This is caused by the perspective distortion of the lens. The wider the angle, the greater the distortion will be. This makes life tough since you will probably need a wide-angle lens to get the entire structure. Architectural photographers use view cameras in which the front element of the lens can be tilted to counter this distortion. SLR users can buy special wide-angle lenses that have tilt controls built into the front of the lens. These are expensive solutions, but the only way you can correct this during image capture.

2




Digital camera users, however, can use image-editing programs like iPhoto to correct this distortion during postproduction. Simply adjust the image with the slider until it looks correct and save the image. The tower is now straighter, although some of the image has been cropped to account for the perspective change.

3




Pictures of buildings can be static and boring. If you are taking pictures of a whole edifice, try to incorporate some other element to help "tell a story." This picture of the Trump Tower in Chicago during construction uses the light flare to draw your attention to the scaffolding to add some energy to the image.

4




Use people to add life to your images. This is an image of the entry to the Bguinage in Bruges, Belgium. I was drawn to the entryway because of the significance of 1776 to all Americans. This was not to celebrate the USA, but instead to mark the opening of the Bguinage in Bruges. The young couple adds to this picture and reflects the tranquility of this space, which is for healing the sick and for prayer.

5




Don't be scared to photograph the details of the structure. What is it that interests you about it? Not every picture needs to be of the complete structure. In this case I was fascinated by the window patterns and reflections. The buildings themselves are kind of boring, but the reflections are examples of modern architecture and the design they bring to the City of Chicago.

6




Always try to make your picture tell a story. An open door always provides some sort of story, especially if it leads to another open door. A building can be simple in nature and yet have great architectural appeal. The old brickwork and simple sculpture over the door adds to the element of mystery in this image. Photographing structures of your travels can provide great memories if you take the time to plan them out. Photograph what you see; if you can't get the whole structure, take the image that is in front of you. Trust your own vision and compose carefully, since you may not be back that way again.

About Photo Gifts

Photo gifts are keepsakes that can be given at any occasion. If you have a photo a friend or family member would like, you have many options of how to make it a memorable gift, such as framing it, printing it on a mug, shirt or mouse pad, or even printing it as workable puzzle. Many photo labs and online stores offer unique ways to give a photo as a gift.

Wall and Framed Photo Gifts

The most classic photo gift is the printed and framed photo. Photos are often from special occasions such as family get-togethers, graduations and weddings. These gifts are simple to make --- choose a size for your photo and have it printed. Pick a frame of the same size. You can choose from a large photo for the wall, a small photo for a desk, table or shelf, or a set of small photos in a large multiple photo frame. If you are artistic, you can make a photo collage for the wall by cutting out and gluing special photos onto a sized sheet of poster board and framing it.

Apparel, Bags and Accessories

Photos can also be given as clothing or accessories, such as a shirt with a photo printed on it or a locket with a special photo inside. Many online companies and print shops allow you to print any photo you like on a t-shirt or a tote bag. For example, if a family member or friend carries a tote around with all her baby's needs a photo gift idea could be to print a picture of her baby onto a customized tote bag. If you would like to give someone a jewelry gift you can add a photo charm onto a bracelet or necklace.

Household Keepsakes

Household keepsake photo gifts can be anything from family photo calendars and mugs to customized photo folding umbrellas. If a friend or family member has just gotten married, a photo mug featuring the couple would make a keepsake that could be used every morning. Photo calendars can make future planning a more personal and memory-filled experience. On a rainy day, a customized umbrella could bring comfort to a loved one. Another household keepsake photo gift idea is a custom mouse pad.

Unique and Specialty Photo Gifts

Unique and specialty photo gifts can be fun to show off to friends and family. Unique photo gifts include photo puzzles, photo cell phone skins, photo sculptures and photo ornaments. A photo puzzle is an interactive photo gift which your loved ones will have fun putting together. If you want to give a more practical gift, photo cell phone skins are portable, decorative and interchangeable and they help prevent cell phone scratching and damage. A photo sculpture could be a fun and unique display at a family party, birthday party or wedding. If you are looking to give a gift close to the holidays, photo ornaments are festive and can be used to personalize a Christmas tree.
