I wanted to catch a landscape photo with wide horizon for this project so I went to the port meadow to have a very open place without objects that can block the sun (except from occasional clouds of course).
I came at about 5:45 but have to wait to a big cloud to clear before I started taking the photos:
6:11pm
You can notice the sun is coming from the left as the little hills making a shadow to the right side. The blue of the sky is very bright, and the cloud are very white.
6:17pm
The grass got darker and the clouds have more gray parts in it. The sky colour didn't change.
6:26pm
Again, the grass got darker but the feeling is that the sky got even brighter. maybe it's because the sun is very close to the horizon making the sky that are close to the horizon to more bright.
6:28pm
It's seems pretty the same as on field I had a feeling of change.
6:36pm
Much darker field and the feeling is twilight begins.
6:52pm
The field getting darker, the sky that are close to the horizon get darker too with clouds more greyish but the light up and left are still clear
6:59pm
All getting much darker, you can't see the shadows of the little hills as everything is dark.
7:12pm
Twilight has started....
I like the second photo best as still all the little detailed are in the photo and you can clearly feel the sun is on her way back as the shadows fall to the right.
I have to say that I was surprised from this project. I expected the photos to became darker much faster then it really took them. I discovered that clear detailed photos came out even when I thought it was to dark to photo. The last photo was taken when it feels extremely dark and still it came out nice. It gives me a new perspective about photoing at night with no added light.
