Photography 1: P & P, Proj 18: How Space Changes With Light

Project 18: How space changes with light.

For this exercise I visited a place at different times in different weather conditions to see the effect of light on the space.  Changes in the sun's position and in the weather can alter an image greatly.

I visited the same place three times in different weather conditions and photographed the space from the same position each time.  The resulting photographs are shown below:

2565; Bright White Cloud.

The weather conditions in this photo were bright, white cloud.  There is good, even lighting with few harsh shadows.  There is excellent saturation of the colours in the image.

2570; Bright sun.

There was bright sun when I took this photo.  The resulting harsh lighting has produced dark shadows.  Reflection of the sunlight from the leaves of the plants has resulted in a lower saturation of colour.

2573; Overcast, Showery Weather.

Here overcast and showery weather has provided dull, flat light with little contrast.  The colours of the foliage are unsaturated.

Conclusion

The difference in the lighting in the three images here has produced a totally different feel.  The first image was photographed under overcast conditions, creating soft, diffused light.  The colours of the leaves are more saturated and more delicate detail can be seen.  The second image was taken under direct sunlight, producing more contrast.
