Project 18: How space changes with light

In this project we were required to visit a space at different times of the day and in differing weather.

I decided the first place I would visit would be the National Museum of Rural Life in East Kilbride.  I attended on a sunny day and took a series of photographs in the main display hall which at one end is dominated by a wall of glass.  I thought as a consequence the lighting conditions would differ markedly.  I was wrong.
 
I found the the orientation of the building, north facing, was such that the lighting conditions did not change from one part of the day to another.  This was a design criteria so that the exhibits can be seen under the same lighting throughout the day, whatever the ambient lighting or weather conditions. 

One set of images were taken at the start of the working day (1000hrs) and the other at the end (1600hrs).

Thanks to Ms. Marion Lawton for her unrestricted access and permission to take my photographs within the museum.

The second set of photographs is taken within my living room using the Canon EOS utility remote shooting allowing a set number of photographs to be taken automatically at a preset time interval.  The camera was set to take seven images at a hourly interval.

I feel that the photograph taken at 1134 hours, the forth image, is the most dramatic as the shadows cast from the vertical blinds are the most dramatic. I felt that this was a good exercise although the subject matter is a bit uninteresting.
