The object I chose to take two pictures of was something that was already outside- a part of my parents' backyard that has a beautiful bush blooming with purple flowers. The picture to the left was taken at 2:30 in the afternoon while the picture on the right was taken at 7:30 in the evening.
The afternoon picture is bright and vivid, with hues of green, purple, brown and orange. Their values are lightened due to the sun’s brightness, which accentuates the yellow of some of the dry leaves on the plant. This further adds to the warmth of the orange and it actually warms up the greens (typically cool colors) giving the feeling of a hot, summer’s day. The greens in the afternoon photograph seem absolutely saturated with color. The contrast of the shadows cast by the plants and rocks are very striking, almost completely black. They create thick, dark outlines- separations between the rocks and plants which greatly define them.
Unlike the afternoon photograph, the evening photo is much cooler. The hues in the plants are still purple and green, but the yellow is gone and replaced with a very lightly tinted brown. The rocks themselves have lost most of their orangey essence and are instead
much browner and even gray in some areas. The shadows cast by the rocks and the plants are much less pronounced. Their penumbral shadows stretch much farther than they do in the photograph from the afternoon.
The level of saturation in the orange rock is lessened and the dry leaves are a weak tan, leaving their boldness weakened in comparison to their afternoon appearance. The violet of the flowers is a much deeper shade, definitely darker in the hue’s value in the afternoon photo.
During the afternoon, the sun was shining directly on the flowers and rocks, creating a bold expression to me as I walked through my parents’ backyard. The flowers also happened to be my son’s favorite part of the backyard, which is another reason I found them to be suitable to be photographed.

I chose an object that was already outside too! You seem like you really understood how the lighting effected the colors of the rock and flowers. good job!
Great images, Nicole.
