A Photo Experiment: How Does a Landscape’s Light Change During One Day?
Summary
Our editor Josef has headed out for some fieldwork into a field and spent all day capturing a landscape’s changes from dusk to dawn and back to the afternoon. After reaching the meadow I immediately unpacked my tripod, fastened my camera to it, and chose a spot for my full day of photography. As soon as the sun touches the horizon, long shadows start to appear in the landscape, and you see a gradual recoloring from cold blue tones towards warm and vibrant shades. As for how the sunrise itself looked, you can see it in this time-lapse: Long shadows suddenly start appearing in the landscape, and then gradually shorten, and the light becomes harder and sharper. This GIF graphically shows how by noon, my shadow has completely pulled back from the frame and ended up beneath the camera.
