- Special Subject: Blue
The color blue is often associated with tranquillity, peace, and serenity. In photography, blue tones can be used to create a sense of calm and relaxation, making it perfect for seascapes, vast skies or any scene that conveys a tranquil ambiance. Blue does not need to be the dominant color of the image, but must impact the finished photograph, either aesthetically or symbolically, or both.
