Looking at Natural Light and Color Temperature: How does color temperature change throughout the day?

Using your Digital Camera set to the daylight setting in white balance, take a series of photos from sunrise to dark (at least 2 hours after sunset). Take photos outside, using natural light only (no flash), at least every 2 hours if possible. ISO 100 or 200. You may need a tripod for early morning and evening.

Tell a story with your photos- the story of one day, but any story you want. Make it interesting!! These images can be a mixture of portraits, cityscapes, still life- whatever you think tells a compelling story. When is the light warmer? What time of day is the light cooler? What role do these tones play in the meaning of your image?

Bring all digital images to class as RAW files. You should have an edit of at least 10 photos.
