Light is an amazing thing… and if you’ve spent any time with me in the late afternoon, you’ll know that I can be quite vocal about proclaiming my love for it. Don’t ask – it’s involuntary! I’ve been noticing the changes in light a lot more than I used to – case in point: I have a love/hate relationship with a shadow I drive past on my way to work. Love/hate, you ask? I love the shadow. I hate the fact that I can’t physically fit in the space I need to take the photo I want. I’ve watched this shadow move across the building – I could tell when we’d gone past the shortest day of the year, because it started to move back in the opposite direction. All this is making me sound like I sit and stare at shadows all day… I promise it’s the 15 seconds as I drive past at 8:10am every morning, that’s all! Or… in that location, anyway – just up the road is a different story…! Anyway – I’ve taken a couple of photos lately that really show the difference a few minutes or a change in conditions can make:
… can you see why I love it?! In case you were curious – the first two photos are three minutes apart, the second two are 21 minutes… and yes, I sat in my car and waited for the sun to come out from behind a cloud. Worth it? I think so.
