Part 4 Ex 3.1 Judging colour temperature

For this exercise I was required to take three photographs of the similar subject on a clear day in full sunlight, shade and late sunlight.  I was then to note any observations.

I used my son as the subject and took the photographs on a clear winter day.

Midday sun

Shade

Low light

There are various differences between the photographs.  The brightest photograph in the mid-day sun has the sharpest colours and the colour of the skin is almost bright white.  In the shade the blues come more to the fore and colour of skin has more blue and orange to it.  The low light brings out the reds and oranges and gives the trees in the background, the hair and the skin an orange red tinge.
