5 images of the same landscape, re-framed to suit the changing light conditions throughout the day
Purpose
To appreciate how differences in light caused by the movement of the sun affect the landscape and require changes in composition
Technical learning
- Landscape composition must always attend to light and shade
- These change during the day as the sun moves across the sky

Exercise instructions
- Pick an interesting scene with prominent features and a good weather forecast for the day
- Start early morning and shoot an image with a viewpoint, lens and composition that suit the scene
- Take a second shot mid-morning with the same lens. Frame the image differently, if needed, to make the most of the new light and shade conditions
- Take a third photo at midday, re-framing as needed
- Take a fourth mid afternoon

- Prepare a short commentary on your composition choice
