The Colour of Light

Find a subject you can move around and does not have a strong colour (face for instance), in clear weather (oh dear...) take three photographs at different times of day; one in full sunlight during the middle of the day, one in shade at the middle of the day, one in sunlight when the sun is close to the horizon.

Make sure WB is set to daylight rather than AWB.

The following two images are quite similar because despite waiting for a sunny day the winter sun is pretty weak weak and watery.  It's not the brilliant blue sky I need to demonstrate the difference in light as things stand - if such a day ever arrives in time I will replace photo No 1.  Both are pretty yellow actually.  Very low sunlight to be confirmed.

AV f4 200 ISO 1/1400s - bright sunlight

AV f4 200 ISO 1/125s - shade
