When everything is grey...

A classic example is the landscape of an overcast sky. When the layer of clouds is very, very thick, all around seems dark. Scattered light blurs the contours of objects, everything looks flat. When we look at the landscape through the camera viewfinder, sometimes difficult to choose the point of focus. No wonder, then, that does not appear in the open air if too many amateur photographers. And yet - shooting in such conditions can be a great exercise in skill composition. To make an interesting picture so illuminated the area, place a frame from the elements that speak the same shape. Moreover, precisely in such conditions, we can see the importance of sztafażu - located in the frame, a small element in a vivid color image completely changes the pronunciation. Especially when the color contrasts with the dominant color of the frame. Anyone who took a picture of a person in a yellow sztormiaku walking by on the shore of the sea stalowoszarego, knows what I mean. Fog is another example of a condition which leads to images with no color, though a topic so broad that it deserves a separate article. Shooting in the fog requires that great knowledge and intuition. But that's when you can quickly see how it affects the image the presence of strong foreground element. Picture misty surroundings without a clear theme is totally illegible. Therefore, a good workout composing shots in the fog. This allows you to separate the staff from our emotions. Usually when we look at the misty landscape, we are so charmed by his beauty that you want the picture to show everything. And so arises gray frame without any tension. Show mist in the photograph be stressed perspective - in the foreground, something clear, in a strong color, the next - less visible elements.
