The changing position of the sun throughout the day creates a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, colour and contrast. From cold dark blues of night, the colour evolves into warm sunrise hues and then cooler blues towards the middle of the day, before getting warmer in the afternoon and evening. We can’t control the natural light, but with experience and technical knowledge we can harness its qualities for our photos.
