Light Observation #1
It is about 7pm and I am sitting on the South End of Wrightsville beach. The sun is low in the sky over the mainland but is still very bright. The harsh light is creating very dramatic shadows when it hits any structure or standing object. Since the beach is flat with no overgrown trees the light hits the sand gives it a warm glow. There is a very bright reflection of the sun over the water making it the mainland seem dark because the high exposure of the sun. The shadows created by the low sun make for good dramatic lighting.
Light Observation #2
Its early. Around 6:30am. I am at my parents house overlooking the intracoastal waterway. The sun has not risen yet but there is an rich fiery glow on the horizon. The light has not really hit directly yet so if you are not looking directly at he horizon it seems to be dark. As I sit on the dock the light quickly intensifies as the sunlight spills over the ocean. The glassy morning water reflects the suns light as it illuminates the clouds. Like the first light observation, there is a lot of contrast in the environment because the sun is unable to provide even lighting from such a low angle.
These are lovely.
