Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
the course of a day, the color of light changes to match the passage of the sun, clear blue at noon and endowing everything it strikes with a rosy hue
at dawn and dusk (Gedzelman, 1996). Over the course of a day, the light can change from a warm red at sunrise, to a "cold blue" at noon, and then
back to a reddish or orange color at sunset (Curtin, 2000). In jargon of professional photography, the color of light referred to as "daylight" actually refers only to the light
at a specific time of day, which occurs between 10 am and 2 pm (Curtin, 2000). During this period, colors in a photograph will appear clear, bright and accurately represented
(Curtin, 2000). If this writer/tutor were to plan a presentation to show a prospective client how the apparent color temperature of daylight varies over the course of day, I
would use the medium of photography. I would photograph the same scene from the same angle, but at different times of the day. These photographs would provide
dramatic proof that the color and apparent temperature of light changes throughout the day. This is because our perception of sunlight changes when the light is modified by having to
travel through extra distance in the Earths atmosphere. Sunlight shines through the minimum amount of atmosphere when the sun is perpendicular to the ground, that is, when the
sun is at its zenith at midday (Lynch and Livingston, 1995). The greater the suns angle from the zenith, the greater the distance that light must travel before being perceived
by human beings on the ground. As a result, the brightness of the sky increases to a maximum that occurs just above the horizon. Due to the angle of the
