Project 48: cloudy and dull weather

In this project I was to take photos of the same scene once in sunlight conditions and once in a cloudy weather.
Here are the photos:

Sunlight:

Cloudy:


There is a one stop difference the two photos. I chose the red bricks of the house to be my reference point of the photos. As the sun is direct on the wall the difference is seen very clearly where in the cloudy photo is much more dark-red. you can also see the reflection of the light on the cars in the sunny photo.

Sunlight: Cloudy:


I took this grass-head to be my man-face photo... the difference in F-no here is much bigger - 3 steps! Here you can see clearly the in the sunlight photo the contrast between the colours while in the cloudy weather everything is darker and less sharp and because of that contrast the brick wall behind the grass-man on the sunlight photo is almost black and in the cloudy photo is much closer to it's real colour.

Sunlight: Cloudy:


In this photo I feel like the sun has 'taken' a little the colours out of the photo. The F no difference is 1 stop.

This pair of photos I took in different days. The cloudy photo was taken in very extra cloudy-grey weather that I have seen only in this country. The difference is huge. The f no. difference is only 2 stops. Maybe that's why there is such a big difference.

Than I was asked to take 3 photos in a cloudy weather. I went to the brown-gery-green colours as I believe emphasize the dull autumn weather. You can see that the colours are not as strong as they would have if I would to take this on a sunny day:




For the last part I was asked to find 3 photos from the textbook that were taken in a cloudy weather:
1. ‘A photographic tour among the abbeys of yorkshire’ by Philip H. Delamotte and Joseph Cundall.
2. ‘The Redan:interior of Fortifications at Sebastopol after Evacuation by the Russians’ by James Robertson and Felice Beato
3.' San Antonio, Texas, October 1913, Preston de Costa, fifteen year old messenger, No.3 for Bellevue messenger service’ by Lewis Hine
