Beneath the Canopy - Week 8

This photo was taken this weekend while walking around campus, by Engineering Lecture Hall. Although the sky is still rather bright here, it actually wasn't too long before sunset, between five and six. You may be able to pick out some of the very light orange in the sky. I like the way the light shines through from the top of the canopy and illuminates some of the vines and flowers on the top, but immediately beneath those areas, the shadows are the darkest.  It's only as you go further from the source that the shadows lighten up. The white light effect is quite apparent here as, things beneath the canopy are still easily visible, but everything beyond it are shined on quite brightly, appearing to bleach the colors.

  1. I feel like this is a shot a lot of filmmakers use in fantasy and romantic films. I would have never known the engineering area was pretty.
