Dynamic Effects Exercise
Sunrise 6:06 am
Sunset
8:07 pm
For this project, I elected to use black and white film to reveal the changes in light condition over time. I elected to study my living room, a space I have sat almost every day the past few weeks working on thesis. When I sit and work, I do not notice much of a change in the light. I do notice sunrise and sunset, but not much in between. I wanted to test to see how much the light did change.
I took pictures every 5 minutes from sunrise until 7:05 am. Light varied enough during this time to warrant pictures over a smaller time interval. From then on, I took pictures every hour - save for a break at 12 noon and 1 pm for a meeting.

sunrise
To my surprise, the adjustments made by the camera rendered null the lively light variations between sunrise at 6:07 am and 7 am. During this time, the sun rose, cleared the ridge, and burned through the fog. Light varied significantly. As our own eyes adjust, I left the camera on auto so it could adjust. The slide show shows little variation at first.
610 AM
sun is up to sunset
By the time the sun cleared the ridge and burned through the fog, it was 44 minutes after sunrise. From this point on, there is noticeable variation within the room.
