Soft Colours (10)

Requirement
At least 3 photographs

Purpose         

To explore the impact on mood which using soft colours has in landscape images

Technical learning

  • Muted colours create their own mood
  • Fog or mist are nautral softeners of colour
  • Water as a reflective surface does the same
  • Location can provide a small range of colours,  e.g. autumn leaves, clay quarry


Exercise instructions

Shoot at least 3 scenes where the colour range is neutralised, i.e. the ranges of hues is so small that the image has a colour cast.  Each picture should be different. Do not use filters.

Images and Review



Road by the golf course in fog, Weybridge

Fog
The fog muted the colours of the trees, grass
and the road running through the course 


Seagull launches on semi-frozen lake, Bushy Park


Water reflection
The contrast between the gull and its reflection in
the lake shows how water tones down
colours. The overcast conditions
add to the effect.


Dawn at Sanxenxo, Galicia


Light
Early dawn light created a blue colour cast
over the sky, town and water
