Shutter Bug Skill - first attempt

Skill 1:

Find a stationary object and photograph it from the same position at sunrise, 12:00 noon, 6:00pm, and sunset. This is to show the color temperature, soft and hard light, light direction and shadows.

I didn't fair too well on this first attempt. Took lots of pictures. Sunrise was really beautiful, however the day clouded over so task was put on hold. I had trouble setting the camera and getting a good focus.

 

                  Here the sun is overexposed, but I did love the effect it had over the lake.

This was my 6pm shot and even though it was cloudy, I like the composition I got, however one does have to be careful as you can see the blinds reflected on the left side of the photo.

 

Sunset - well, shall we just say, I'm not too good with the 24 hour clock - so the sun was long gone when my alarm went off. Live and learn.
