Exercise 32: Tungsten & Fluorescent Lighting

With this exercise we examine three light sources:  natural daylight at sunset/dusk, tungsten lighting (that provided by typical light bulbs), and fluorescent.

Before shooting, we are asked to gaze out a window at sunset in a room lit with tungsten light.  After one minute, we look back into the room, then again back out the window to note the difference in lighting.  What I noted is the outside light was blue, inside orange.  The eyes quickly adjust to these changes as you move back and forth between light sources.

We were then to shoot a series of photos combining different types of light sources. The first set was shot about an hour before sunset and shows tungsten to have an orange cast, fluorescent blue-green.
