This photograph was taken at 4 in the afternoon, during fall.
To shoot the photograph, I used ISO 200, with a shutter speed of 1/100 and a diaphragm of f/16. Notice that the exposition is the same as the one taken in the morning, photograph 9. This means that the light intensity was the same.
However, the photograph looks completely different. The light in this photograph is not as warm as in the previous photograph. Why? Because it is farther away at this time in the afternoon. As a result, the light is whiter and still not warm.
The contrast is also higher than in the previous photograph and you can't see so much detail in the shadows. As times goes by and the afternoon approaches, there is less contrast and colour temperature increases.
To measure light, I pointed the camera to the sky because I didn't want it to look white (burned) in my photograph. I wanted it to show clouds. This is the reason why there is a loss of details in the shadows. If I had wanted more detail in the shades, I would have had to point the camera at the shades to measure them. This would have changed the exposition and would have resulted in a degree of detail loss from the bright areas.
This photograph 11 was taken during summer, at 11 in the morning at the beach. In this photograph, you can see that the contrast is greater. If you look at the shades on her leg, you can see that it is quite dark and you can tell that light is coming from above. The shades on her face are brighter because I used a white surface to reflect light and fill them in.
The colour temperature in the photograph is also neutral. It doesn't have that orange tone common at dawn or dusk.
This photograph is in the boundary between a picture taken in the morning and a picture taken at noon.
On the other hand, this photograph was taken at 20.00 hours, in summer.
You can plainly see the differences. The contrast is lower, in fact, shades are almost out of sight, and light is softer and more diffuse. This makes the photograph less dramatic than the previous one. It softens the facial traits of the model.
