This plant sits in a big bay window at my parents house. The top picture was taken late at night, the second was mid-morning and the last was on a rainy afternoon. I tried to get the same angle of the flower each time and I used the same settings on my camera with all three. The two pictures that worked the best were the top one and the bottom one. I had an idea in my head about when I would take the three pictures and I really thought that the daylight one would come out the best. The night time picture and the rainy day picture really show the color of the flower where the daylight one shows the red of the flower but not the yellow inside it. If I had to pick a favorite it would be the rainy day one on the bottom!

  1. Cool pictures. The top and bottom picture really focus on the inside of the flower with the red and yellow. The second picture draws my attention to the bright red of the flower and then my eyes wonder outward. The bottom one is my favorite as it really shows off the plant as a whole. Great job!

  2. It is cool how the different lighting affects the pictures. The third one shows the most detail of the flower and is more viberant. Good work.

  3. Nice pictures. It is neat how much the light can change the picture. I like the first and last picture the best.

  4. Very nice job! I like how the different lighting changes the colors- They also give the effect that the pictures could have been taken in 3 different places.

  5. Wow! Amazing how much light can effect a photo. I agree that the bottom one is the best -- drawing attention to the oh-so-vibrant flower! These are also kind of examples of the complementary color scheme we're learning about this week, with the red contrasted with the green - I like that aspect of it too.

  6. Looks like a completely different flower! Great examples of how HUGE a difference the lighting in our photos makes!

  7. Yes isn't it interesting how the daylight washes out color...who would have thought so before undertaking the lighting study?
