Clock Tower 6:15 pm
the Elongated shadows cast by the setting sun on the brick buildings and pine trees fall long across the hilly lawn that has taken on the tint of gold where the sun hits it and shadows do not hide. The Magnolia tree's plasticy leaves reflect the sun light while the thin pine needles absorb the golden rays and the insides bear a dark colour where the sun is not shining. So much depth and detail is added by the light, especially in this time of day and intensity of the sun. the way the shadows fall seems as though the sun is choosing to highlight things and patches on the lawn.
Grassy knoll 5:10 pm
Again the sun was in it's golden state casting long shadows, but I looked to a smaller portion, a small patch of long grass behind campus woods. while sitting on the ground I noticed how many ants the campus/Wilmington has. I got lower sort of like the ant's view and looked at the light on the grass. on the surface the tops the of the blades looked golden yellow, but towards the centers of each cluster, there was dark brown. Each blade cast shadows on the other in line behind them from the sun. The thicker blades cast thicker shadows and added to the nice contrast. Light is so crucial in seeing detail.
