Colour through the day 1

What makes color photography so fascinating is that the available hues on display change vastly throughout the day. From the deep blues of early pre-dawn, to the stark, contrasty, top-down light of midday, to the fiery reds and oranges of sunset, there is something different every hour. By staying at one location and shooting it throughout the day, even with unchanging composition it is possible to capture totally unique images in the evening, from those taken at 10am.
