Without light, we wouldn't see anything--but without darkness, what would the light play with?
It's the combinations between light and dark that make a compelling composition. Infinite possibilities emerge from different weather conditions, the time of day and the time of the year. Changes happen in the sun's angle, intensity and colour.
Recently, I've noticed many intriguing indoor lights from elaborate lamps casting their shadows onto different surfaces.
Shiny reflections give the fabric canopy more depth...
Shadows sliced onto walls and ceilings...
Shadows bend and elongate into layered tones...
Now imagine how light and dark play outdoors...
- The last glimmer of sun just before it sets behind the ocean's horizon.
- Light slanting through a wooden fence, painting white lines across your face.
- A canopy of leaves waving in the wind, casting dancing spots of light and shadow on the ground.
What have you seen when the condition of light made the memory worth remembering? Please comment below!
