Different Light

For this assignment, we had to take pictures of the same subjects in different types of light at different times of day.  Here are my two favorite sets of photos: a wind chime and a street lamp.

Morning

Afternoon: I like how blue the sky is in this picture, and the texture of the clouds. 

Evening: similar to morning, but there's more of a shine on the right side of the chimes, where the soon setting sun is hitting them.




Street lamp in my back yard, in the morning

Afternoon: Again, I liked the blue sky and thin clouds in the background. 

Evening: In this photo, the light is very very blue just after the sun set, but unlike the last photo, where the background, the sky, is blue, the whole photo has a blue tint.


I really liked this assignment because it made me focus on the best time to make a picture, but it was also very difficult to get the angles right, and to watch the same subject until the light is perfect. I think for the most part they turned out well (certainly better than my last assignment!) :)

    Be sure to use your "portrait mode" when trying to isolate the subject-that will blur the background. The chimes have a few distracting things in the background. Good to see the different light and how it makes a photo look.

  3. I like the sky in the background or the second sky picture. I also like in the second street lamp one how it just stands out compared to the sky. Very well done.

  6. I like the pictures of the lamps, especially the afternoon one because everything is lit up and there is more color.

  7. The morning picture is my favorite. The light hitting the lamp isn't to bright but its not to dark either.
