These photos have different lighting. The quality of the lighting has effects on the color tones and shading of the picture itself.  

The lighting in this picture is right. That does not mean that the picture has a lot of light, but it does have the correct tone, quantity and angle to complement the picture.

On the other hand, the light in this picture it too direct, resulting in washed out lighting. What you cannot see because of the flare on the screen is the true darkness of the hallway this picture was taken in. The quality of this particular light flooding in through the windows and door only came through at these particular points, causing deep light-dark contrast, resulting in an ugly white-washed photo.

"Rise and shine" is a common saying. When taken literally it has a motivational context that in quite unfitting of the time of the day it is most often said at. However, the saying is epitomized quite nicely by the following series of pictures. Morning can be noted for its pale skies and muted landscapes.

As the sun rose, it did indeed shine. and melted off the fog that clung to the morning air, leaving only vivid, vigorous colors and strong defined shadows.

Evening closes and the light begins to wain. Clouds move in and obscure the sun behind their curtains before it descends behind the horizon, going up in a fiery orange blaze. I dunno if that's how most people's days end, but it sure doesn't end that way for me.

Until next time.
