Hello,
Is # 4 Correct?
Thank You
To take three photographs of the same object outdoors on a clear day, one in the early morning, one at noon, and another near sunset, you would expect the color of the object to appear
#1 The same in all photos
#2 orange-red in the picture taken at noon
#3 "flat" in the photos taken in morning and dusk
#4 slightly different in each photo
Didn't I answer this on the ninth? Here is the answer again: Is the light the same each time? Does light affect color?
In case Plato does not appeal to you, yes, number four is correct.
To determine if #4 is correct, we need to consider how the lighting conditions change throughout the day and how it affects the color of the object in the photographs.
As mentioned in the question, the three photographs are taken in the early morning, at noon, and near sunset. The color of the object can be influenced by the quality and angle of the sunlight during these different times of the day.
In the early morning, the sunlight is generally cooler and more diffused. This can result in a bluish hue being cast on the object, giving it a slightly different appearance compared to the other two photos.
At noon, when the sun is directly overhead, the light tends to be the harshest and brightest. This can cause the object to appear washed out or slightly orange-red due to the powerful, direct sunlight.
Near sunset, the sunlight becomes warmer and softer, often casting a golden hue. This can give the object a different color tone compared to the other two photos, potentially appearing slightly different.
Therefore, based on the changing lighting conditions throughout the day, it would be expected that the color of the object appears slightly different in each photo. Hence, #4 is the correct answer.
