Weather - effect of weather conditions on light
An
ever changing and infinite range of lighting is created by different
weather effects and this is often associated with mood - for instance
although the photographs might be taken at the same time of day -
a bright
sunny cloudless day - puffy white clouds - a grey overcast sky - rain
and snow each have their own characteristics. Clouds
become like giant reflectors that also filter the light - as they
are never the same the effects are always changing. Look at the effect from the weather in each of the images below.
