I was in the park the other day as the sun was going down and at first I was just interested in the bird that is in this picture, but also I took notice of the way the sun is lighting this. Because the sun was low it is similar to a side light and I love the way there is a contrasting from a lit side and a shadowed side with the strong directionality of the sun. Even though there is only one actual source of light here and that is the sun, the side of the tree/pole/bird that is not getting hit by the direct sunlight is still lit by ambient light. This is something that we see a need for in creating lighting designs, even when we have a strong light source we need additional light to fill in the shadows with some kind of light so that they are not in complete darkness.
