Weekly Picture Project 5

This week we were given the brief of;

"the Twilight hour"

this is the hour of the day were either the sun is just coming up in the morning or when the sun is just gong down in the evening.
for this week's project i decided to look at both times, the morning and evening and show what different effects they create.
one is very dramatic and the other is hidden but beautiful.

i shall start in order of day so the first image i submitted was of the morning twilight hour.

Morning Twilight gives a due to the environment
I decided with showing morning twilight because as you will see later it is a great contrast to evening twilight.
the above image was taken in my garden at around 7.20am just when the sun was rising and when the due has not been dried off yet after a cold evening.
i took this particular image because i think it has a great amount of detail, texture and tone but also has a beautiful fresh emerald green colour and this especially emphasised by the due at this particular "magical" time of day.

Next i decided to photograph the evening twilight hour:

Evening Twilight can be quite dramatic
This image was taken on a field next to my house at around 6.30pm.
i looked out my window and saw this beautiful bright orange and red sunset and decided this would be the perfect opportunity to show the evening twilight.
Although the image has obviously been edited and it was taken with the sunset setting on my camera which gives the images a golden glow, the dramatic effect and stunning detail and texture in the clouds is all real.
As i mentioned earlier, this image is a stark contrast to the morning twilight, whereas morning has only small effects on the environment like a mist or due, the evening has a huge effect such as this sunset which has altered the clouds and the colour of the landscape almost like an explosion.

Both times of twilight shown are obviously very different but they are both also very beautiful in there own way and i think i have been successful in showing what "The Twilight hour" is.
