Color
Color does not only evoke an emotional response by
a picture-
viewer, it also conveys a certain mood associated
with it. The
hot colors such as red, orange and yellow tend to
be visually
strong evoking and relating to fire, sand, summer,
sunlight,
heat, body warmth etc.. As in this photograph of a
small town
fair, hot and vibrant colors of the vendor's booth
and the bird,
seem to give an exotic appearance to this MidWestern
scene.
Visually strong colors in this photo are a good example
of the
colors that evoke certain feelings associated with
tropical
erotism. Cold colors such as
blue and green, on contrary, tend to
be associated with cold, coolness and even freshness
-- winter,
ice, water and the natural world, as in this winter
scene or as
the view of the Akko's shoreline shot on a rainy and
hazy cold
day, conveying atmosphere of the cold weather by introducing
cold, moody, pale and dark colors. Here, three little
boys'
facial expressions, reinforced by their outfits, being
dressed in
the colorful native American cloths for a Pow-Wow,
together
convey the mood of the event anticipated by them event.
The
brilliantly vivid and deeply saturated colors in this
photo of
the puppet chicken made the picture to look appealing.
Not only
bright, exotic, vibrant, vivid and contrasty colors,
as in these
photos of the hog oilers and the neon lights' stricks,
but also
moody, muted, dark, pale, subtle and harmonious colors
could add
to the mood of your picture, as in this photograph
of the native
American dress-ornament. When your subject is boring,
color can
revive the photograph. Polaroid instant picture colors
are very
unique and exotic, as in this photo of the marching-band.
