(Photo credit to my brother. I was standing next to him and took the same shot but his phone definitely has a better camera than mine.)
I did not think that I would struggle this much with this blogging assignment. The problem I have about the lighting situations I'm in is that the sun produces a nice, even light during the daytime so the only interesting photos, in my opinion, occur at night or in special situations during the day. I have not found those special daytime situations, though.
There are several unique aspects about this photo that I think are really interesting. Even though the sun is still peeking out over the mountain, the light does not hit the houses that much. It has a "sleepy town" feel to it because there is a bright point in the distance but the immediate area is dark.
In the background by the mountain, it looks really hazy. The camera did not do a good job picking up how hazy it really looked. I believe the haze help refract the light, making the sun have more red and orange colors. Since reds and oranges have a longer wavelength, they are able to reach this camera better than the blue colors, which has a shorter wavelength.
One last thing that seems interesting to note is the difference in illumination throughout the photo. The darkest part of the picture is the very bottom and the most illuminated part is the sky. This makes sense, since different land forms are probably blocking the sun's light from reaching straight ahead but nothing is restricting it from hitting the sky.
