Two analogous color palettes with low-contrast and desaturated greens to keep developing your editing style! With @michaelkagerer / Studies on color psychology and preference surveys show that green is one of the most popular colors, particularly in Europe and North America. Green is a unique color in the way it affects human perception. It sits at the center of the visible spectrum, making it the easiest color for our eyes to process—which is why it’s associated with relaxation and balance. Because green is everywhere in nature, it instantly evokes a sense of peace, renewal, and vitality. Additionally, studies show that green spaces help reduce stress, so hospitals, offices, and homes often incorporate green tones to create a calming atmosphere. However, not all greens evoke the same emotions—some shades are associated with negative connotations, such as illness, envy, or decay. So, how do you choose or edit the right greens to enhance the mood of your photography? The right green depends on your story, subject, and artistic vision. Muted or earthy greens create a calm, nostalgic feel, while vibrant greens evoke energy or futurism. 1) For instance, the palette in the first image emphasizes subtlety and depth, making it perfect for crafting a mysterious, moody, and cinematic ambiance: Deep forest green: 0e1a19 Dark moss green: 1c2820 Muted olive green: 313e2d Soft woodland green: 49573c Dusty sage green: 707c60 According to color theory, this palette conveys tranquility and resilience, making it perfect for wilderness photography and muted cinematic color grading. 2) Looking now to another example, image eight has more warmth and earthy tones: Deep charcoal green: 101817 Dark olive green: 242e20 Muted forest green: 495242 Earthy olive-toned green: 424c29 Dusty sage green: 7e8164 As a result, this palette feels calm, organic, and grounding. Both palettes are excellent for storytelling, but the first leans more cinematic and dramatic, while the second has a softer, more nostalgic charm. Which of these stunning palettes by @michaelkagerer do you prefer? 🎨🌿

Ansel Adams Photographer, Artist & Activist
*Happy Birthday to Ansel’s ‘Monolith’!* 🏞️ “Born” on this day, April 10, 1927. Andrea Stillman’s biography “Looking at Ansel Adams” includes a wonderful chapter all about this storied photograph: “In 1992 I was in Ansel’s workroom selecting images for a prospective book of his photographs when Virginia appeared and announced that she had found a stash of home movies from the late 1920s and 1930S. With anticipation we rented a movie projector to screen them. Miraculously, one reel included footage of the trek to the Diving Board. It showed Ansel in his favorite plus fours, lugging his forty-pound pack, with a rakish fedora hat and the Keds high-top basketball shoes he favored for hiking. “The climbers struggled up…in deep snow, and when they reached the Diving Board they pulled each other up with a ludicrously thin rope. Virginia fearlessly inched out onto the sharply angled granite spur, and when she reached the tip she stood up and blithely waved. It seems appropriate that Ansel presented the very first print of ‘Monolith’ to Virginia. “Ansel was twenty-five years old when he made ‘Monolith.’ At age eighty he was able to recall the experience of making the negative, every detail as clear as it more than a half century had not elapsed. He photographed Half Dome hundreds of times, and there are many different interpretations that include moons, clouds, snow, flowers, leaves, trees, even deer and people. In 1978, during one of his last annual Yosemite workshops, he and his photographic assistant, John Sexton, contemplated Half Dome together and talked about the taking of ‘Monolith’ in 1927. According to John, Ansel laughingly confided, ‘Maybe I should just have stopped then.’” Text, film footage and Ansel Adams images are copyright ©️The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust.
