Evening Sun

The evening photos look very similar to the morning shots. Everything is pretty monotone, not too much differention between the top and bottom of the machine. Theoretically their would be a sharp contrast between the two sides of the object with an extreme highlight on one side ane extreme shadow on the other.











































Afternoon Sun



I got lucky in the afternoon with a little part in the clouds. The sun hit directly on top of the light machine giving the most contrast between the open V and the underneath of the wings. From each angle the light cast effected it differently.




















































































































































Morning Sun



The morning was not the most opportune time for photos, it was drizzling and there was hardly any sunlight. However, the intended outcome was to have a shadow underneath the top wing, but little high light within the V facing the sky.

My Design


My Light Machine is designed to maximize the shadows and reflections of the sun in the different areas of the site. I wanted to design something simple, efficient, durable, and easy to move. I chose white foam core and duct tape because both materials will reflect light very well.
-Unfortunately there was heavy cloud cover, so the maximum reflection was not achieved..
