Like let’s assume 10am and 6pm are the same relative angles of sun in the sky- why isn’t the lighting identical warmth in photos?
In: Physics
The light is the same, but different things may be going on around YOU.
1. the dew or fog from a cold evening is evaporating in the morning, but is not doing the reverse in the afternoon. You can see this in the extreme in places that have “foggy mornings”, but not foggy afternoons/dusk. That’s gonna affect light, but this impact will be variable depending on where you are.
2. If you live in nature (like I do) you can tell a movie scene shot in nature is being shot in the wrong part of the day because the plant life will be wrongly aligned with the light – lots of things in nature align or hide from the morning light. This will affect the “vibe” of what you’re looking at in ways you may not be conscious of.
3. anything that dissipates in the air at night and accumulates in the day is going to impact things – smog most notably, especially in urban areas.
4. weather patterns move moisture based on accumulated heat which is different at different times of day. This is similar to number 1, but will be very different in different geographies and different alignments to sunrise/sunset.
