Colour selection can play an important role in the improvement of photography. A good photographer should be aware of the various combinations of colours present in his composition.

Colour infrared photography involves capturing the infrared rays in your camera. This photography was once considered impossible but with the technological development taking place worldwide this statement was proved false.

If you have been clicking photographs for a while, then you must have come across a very unfamiliar term called colour temperature.

One look at the picture given below and it strikes us that it’s not natural and has been manipulated by some image editing software.

Most people do not know what the word infrared actually means. So before exploring the world of infrared photography we first need to understand what infrared is. Infrared is that part of the visible spectrum that exists beyond the colour red.

White balance is a term that is usually associated with photography, and is a process that is employed to remove unrealistic colour casts to ensure the objects that appear white in person are rendered white in your photo.

A very fascinating aspect of light is that it on many a time is not a true reflection of what it actually is! Getting confused?

Often when we are shooting with a coloured film, we come across a blue or red caste on your image. This may be due to incorrect white balance or when the lighting is not according to the standard day light.

We have known that if we wish to increase the contrast then we need to use contrast enhancement filters, and when we want to decrease the contrast we can use diffusion filters, but what do you do if you want to increase the tone of a particular colour in your frame?

As is obvious from the name, contrast filters are used to enhance colour contrasts in photographic images.
