Colour Theory for Photographers - Get Better Colours in Your Photographs - Episode 4

Today I talk about colour theory and how it can help you with your photography. It is one thing to think about the colour palette when editing, but if you think about it when taking the photograph, it can really up your photography skills when you take photos with intention.

I suppose you could called this a landscape photography vlog ... but I prefer on location landscape photography!

(It's expensive but well worth it!)

Great introduction. Worth returning to. Thanks!

Thank you! Excellent color discussion I'll rewatch many times

[daimonde]

sir, your channel deserves far more views, the presentation is fantastic, invaluable for a keen amateur like myself. ive binge watched so many. looking at the old astro stuff next. keep em coming !

[rickframe]

Great video, I found this really useful as I'm not the best when it comes to colours. I'll have to save and watch it several times before it all sinks in. Thank you.

That was really interesting. I last did ColoUr Theory thirty years ago at art college and did not realise that there was an RGB wheel. Every day is a school day.
I've also moved away from my ancient Lightroom 5.7 to using DxO Photolabs and I really miss the ability to Split Tone. Sadly that's a no-go area.
However when video editing, I try to aspire to the Orange and Teal colour grade, hinted in your sunset images, but it is incredibly hard to achieve without looking like a dog's dinner.

I do enjoy the occasional Black and White image. Rather than being lazy and just removing "Saturation", I like to play with the colour channels to see if I can bring out subtle details or tones to help enhance the image in its Black and White form. I have no doubt that you do this as well. 😀

I have all but sold my SOUL to get a grip on this. Thank you so much for a colourfully simplistic explanation!!
😀

[jawneethecurious]

Good stuff. Although I know most of color theory, the temperature, tint adjustment advice is new to me. Thx!

[findermanimages]

Yup...I didn't see any of that! Please do more black and white 😉

[dingo]

Good one Mike, , can't wait for your take on B&W, which is what I shoot in most, great vid as per.

[martinoberstein]

Well done, Mike! Thank you very much again!

[alunrees]

A great series Mike! Really informative. Though I do have a love/hate relation with colour theory.

[OscarLodge]

In addition to your excellent instruction, .. you produce brilliant and very professional videos'... Thanks ''

[ashwinpatalay]

Another great video Mike! Very well explained. Thanks a lot 🙏🏼

[sgl_simon]

Your videos are always so easy to understand and grasp. I swear I've learnt more in the past few months since finding your channel than in the previous 5 years.

Also, did chuckle at the Colour spelling 😃

[tudorjones]

Another masterclass in video production. Once again an in depth and thought provoking presentation.

This is one of those videos that you tag for future referencing. An excellent tutorial packed into 9 mins. I pick my camera brand by the color science. You would be surprised how much they differ. I have an old Olympus e-5 with a Kodak sensor. It still produces some of the best color representations I have ever seen. I still use it for shots of flowers and landscapes.
