Colour Techniques-Top 10 tips

Don’t leave the choice of white balance setting to the camera – get into the habit of selecting it yourself.

Boost sunsets by choosing a Cloudy WB setting, and cool a daylight shot with a Tungsten setting.

Create bold images by only including two colours that are opposite each other on the colour whee

Two complementary colours of equal size in the frame can lead to disappointing images.

If you shoot JPEG, increase the colour saturation in-camera, rather than in an image-editor.

If your camera allows it, and you have time to edit your images, it’ll mean less image degradation.

They’re expensive but worth it; they reduce glare in images, increasing saturation as a result.

Don’t sell your warm-up filters; they can produce a more natural result than a Photoshop treatment.

To create a restful mood, fill your frame with colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel.

Always shoot in colour; you can always convert an image to black and white on the computer.
