So our next lighting project is to make a time of day study and recreate it digitally. Now we are not actually trying to mimic the exact lighting in the scene, that is we aren't re-creating the study digitally, we are supposed to do more with it. We have to make an outdoor scene with a transition of light from across the day. I'd love to do the entire day if I have the time, but that is a big 'if'.
The first step, of course, is to make the study. Unfortunately, at the time that I was able to make this study, the weather did not cooperate with me, and clouds moved in to make the sunset completely overcast. While this is a great study of ambient light, it isn't showing the sunset colors like I had hoped for. However, I plan to take another study of the light at sunset when the weather clears (and I have the time.)
For now, here is my study, showing noon (winter time), dusk (overcast), "golden hour" (overcast), and dawn (twice). I plan to add more to this soon, we'll see how it goes.
