Watch The Magic

I have taken pictures of a flower in my garden and this was not an easy task because the hue of the flowers were strong compared to the atmospheric perspective that it was hard to get two pictures that were different. The top left picture hues are not as strong as the picture on the top right. When you look at the top left picture the atmospheric perspective has a strong yellow and white tint at the top of the picture which is also reflecting off the green leaves making the leaves have a stronger value. The bottom of the picture is shaded which adds more of a gray scale to reduce the value. The colors within the flower are almost blending light purples to pink to orange with full saturation. There are intense colors in the center of the flowers that when compared to each other show two different hues. The top left picture was taken early evening as the sun was setting so the shadows darken the darker hues. Even the leaves are stronger in value. The top right picture was taken after the sun has set taking away the intense brightness in the hues. The hues then in the flower have less of a value. The center of the flower color has also changed. There are now dark pink to light pink to yellow-orange saturation. The leaves are even lighter with more of a gray scale due to the shadows. The bottom picture which is high noon not only reveals the shadow from the light source but has an intense bright atmospheric perspective. There is a lot whiter and yellows with the color scale changing the flower all together. The saturation of the flower’s hues is almost full yellow and orange with just a pinch of pinks at the end. The leaves as well are having a high value of green. The bottom flower is a great example of chiaroscuro, light in top and dark on the bottom creating depth. I hope that you enjoy the pictures and my observations.
