Photo Tips: Colors enhance, pop, focus, and balance a photograph

Going through my pictures looking for color, I remember the umbrellas. I love color umbrellas and bringing them into a picture for lines, shapes, and balance. They add a mood to a picture, an emotion, and serenity because of their balance.

This dull space was enhanced with these color umbrellas. With shadow and light, as a photographer I am able to capture the beauty of the space that the designer was creating with the tables, chairs, lattice fencing. This is how designers come together to present beauty. The designer of the space and the designer in the photographer.

The colors make the San Antonio River Walk pop. The designer picked color for the table and the umbrellas with a great black for the chairs to give a wonderful Mexican feel to this Mexican Restaurant. The color umbrellas are great when walking on the over head bridges from one side to the other offering the photographer great chance for a wonderful capture of the scene. Love the shadows and light shining through onto the space along the walkway.

The Yellow umbrellas were nicely set up allowing me as the photographer to use the lines, shadows, and colors to create an endless photograph to the Ocean. The flowers in the barrel add a very nice touch to the whole scene. Noticing the scene is important and photographers must have an eye for beauty as they go about the world. This picture was featured in an earlier posting called Tranquil Day at the Beach with Yellow Umbrellas

SeaWorld Lighthouse Framed by Nature in Pink with Blue Skies Photo by Eileen Ludwig

Love this picture with all the colors throughout carrying the eye throughout the picture. The Blue skies, pink flowers, blue green water and blue on the lighthouse with the black and white whales makes this s wonderful photograph. Finding and framing this picture was the skill of the photographer using the materials present in assembling them into the perfect picture. Colors bring this picture into a really nice balanced serene photograph. This picture was previously featured in Photowalk Theme Park SeaWorll.

As usual, I could pick out many pictures and had about three other ones to add to this posting but will end here and they will have to appear in something in the future. Make it a great day!
