In this next “Touring Maine with art” I want to make some observations about light and its relationship to the sea. This time is dawn light. I put together some examples of what I look for with dawn lighting. - In this first set of photos that I took at Dawn at Pemaquid you can see that the changes in the coloration of the light in the sky doesn’t necessarily go the way you think it will. The whole sequence was about four minutes long I just selected some to illustrate. - One of the great things about dawn light is it low angle to the sea so it adds drama to the waves which catch light. - The clouds can also catch the light but it’s a fleeting thing. - And finally one last thing to think about is if you’re looking into the light versus if you’re looking away from the light at the same time of day, same location you can get dramatically different results. Next time I’ll try backlighting. - There are lots of different terms that I use in referring to light. Light is a fairly big topic so this is just one segment of light. I put up some of the pieces that I’ve done during this time of day in this post. Swipe Left . - I’ve added post the full video on IGTV and it’s also on my site on my bigscreen page.

Tour Maine with Art: Watching the sea- Dawn Light. So last time I talked about catspaws as a design element. In our “Touring Maine with art” I want to make some observations about light and its relationship to the sea. This time is dawn light. - In this set of photos that I took at Dawn at Pemaquid you can see that the changes in the coloration of the light in the sky doesn’t necessarily go the way you think it will. The whole sequence was about four minutes long. - One of the great things about dawn light is it low angle to the sea so it adds drama to the waves which catch light. - The clouds can also catch the light but it’s a fleeting thing. - And finally one less thing to think about is if you’re looking into the light versus if you’re looking away from the light at the same time and day you can get dramatically different results. Next time I’ll try backlighting. - There are lots of different terms that I use in referring to light. Light is a fairly big topic so this is just one segment of light in relationship to Maine, the sea and plein air painting.
