I have a hard time finding interesting daytime lighting examples because I feel like the sun only does an amazing job at fully lighting everything, but this was the first scene that I found more interesting than any of the others throughout my day.
Like always, the picture does not do the scene justice, but it does help me see some things that I didn't see before. For example, the spots where the sun breaks through the trees are extremely different from the spots where there is little light coming through. Coming from the shadowed portion of the grass to the center of one of the areas where light gets through, the color goes from dark green to a lighter green to a white color. I think this is a good find because when lighting a show, I'm assuming based off of this photo that if we use a light at full intensity, it might white a person's face out.
Another interesting point of this picture is that we get the best color of the grass when light is not directly hitting it. This makes me believe that the McCandless way of lighting gets verified by this photo. With a warm light and a cool light coming in different directions and not directly hitting the person head on makes for a nice light.
Other than these few points, I feel that light during the daytime is not as interesting as light during the night. I feel the tools that daylight has are a full intensity light (the sun) and gobos (shadows on the ground). With night scenes, we can have street lights creating different colors and designs as well as different colors during a sunset.
