Assignment # 4: Light & Shadow

During the winter months the sun moves across the sky at a low angle above the horizon, making for the possibility of dramatic light and shadow scenes throughout much of day. Look for times when the sun is above a cross street or avenue, or early in the day on the east side, late in the day on the west side.

Emphasizing light and shadow can be particularly striking in black & white photography, but color works too. Take new pictures being consciously aware of light and shadow in your images, do not go looking for pictures in your portfolio that already have these qualities.

Due January 5th.
