Sun Rise!

Week 6: Blog #3

In my previous blog, I took a picture of a sun set and I have learned that its color are dim orange ish! However, for this week's blog, I have decided that I want to explore the color of the sun rising in the sky. It was on Thursday early in the morning as I was on my way to UCI from Walnut where I came from. Due to traffic and because my 1st class starts at 8:00 AM, I woke up at 5 AM: I showered, ate breakfast, and left the house at approximately about 5:40 AM. It took me about an hour to get to the 55 South freeway! As I was on the 55 South freeway, I noticed that the sun is rising bright in the sky! I took my phone camera as I did before and I took a snapshot! To my surprise, the color of a sun rise is also very intriguing to look at just as the color of a sun set! It is somewhat yellow red ish with a little orange at the very bottom and it is not too bright as I thought it would be. Looking at this picture, I was wrong when I thought that it would be difficult for me to imitate the color of a sun rise. Analyzing this picture and giving some thoughts about it, if I was to imitate this color in lighting, I would use the par can in the back as a source to recreate the imitation of a sun setting! I am so glad that I have been given the opportunity to witness the sun rising in the sky! Thank you Lonnie for encouraging me to continue to study sunlight!
