Understanding colour is a fundamental part of photography, as it's one of the first things you notice when looking at an image. Master how best to use colour and you'll soon see an improvement in your pictures. Colour has a strong visual pull, so it makes sense to always use it to your advantage. For example, if the focal point of your picture is where the main source of colour is, the viewers' eyes will naturally be drawn to where you want them, adding strength to your image.

Showing off shape
Back lighting is a great way to emphasis strong shapes and gives a really artistic feel to a photo.
Avoiding flare
Lens flare is a common problem when the sun is low in the sky. Avoid it affecting your photos by using a lens hood or simply using your hand to shield the sunlight.
Impressive patterns
A telephoto lens can help accentuate repeating patterns and it compresses what it sees giving greater impact to the pattern.
