MODULE FIVE ASSIGNMENT

• Choose one scene or object to photograph. Take at least three photographs of this scene at three different times of day. Be sure to note the times of day that you choose. Write a brief response about how the light changed in the photograph.

The first one was taken at sunset, the second at noon, and the third in the afternoon. Between noon and afternoon the light did not change much, but the light changed drastically between sunset and noon.
