The aim of this project was to photograph a sunrise or sunset showing the way the light and colours change through the period as with my shots of the sun near to the horizon and then after it has moved to below the horizon. The first thing that is most noticeable is that as the light gets low and less the more the shots become silhouettes as the shadows increase across the landscape. Next i noticed that while the sun is above the cloud level there's some colour to the cloud and sky but it isn't very strong, but as soon as the sun travels under the cloud level it becomes far stronger and more intense. The reason for this is because of the light reflecting off the clouds which is then spread throughout the sky because of the very low angle of the light. I wonder if there had been a little more cloud cover whether the colour would have been even stronger because the clouds would have held the reds/oranges more then the blue sky? Again this project has taken a little time to complete as with project 16 because you can never rely on the British weather to do what you expect, if anything this has made me more aware of how important it is to take notice of what the weather forecast are telling you (even though half the time they don't get it right). It been good to study how the light can change over a very short period of time because what i discovered is that i may think I've reached the point where the colours may start to weaken but then to my surprise they would get stronger or just completely fade away in a few seconds.
