1.) I see light illuminating the room from the sky outside and the lamps inside. There is also light bouncing off from the wooden floors.
ReplyDelete2.) The light is coming from the back near the windows going downwards towards the wooden floors, bouncing upwards towards the objects in the room.
3.) The light is hitting off the machines of the materials and the floors as well.
4.) If you zoom in, the light gives details of the machines and the textures are expressed. The light is aslo hiding the bottom half of the machine.
5.) To me, this picture looks like it was taken around noon.

ReplyDelete1) The light is coming from the big windows at the end of the hall and the overhead lights over each station.
2) The light comes from the big windows in the forward-most direction and from above in the form of the overhead lights hanging over every station.
3) The light from the window is hitting on the floor beneath the people and the top of the machines on the left and the back of the man on the left a little. The overhead lights are hitting on the white cloths on each of the stations.
4) The light shows the floor closest to the photographer and the cloth shirts very well. It hides the workings of the machines the floor closest to the window and the inside of the overhead lights.
5) The time of day looks to be sometime in the afternoon around three or four.
2. This shows leading lines because the floor and rows of machines go down in straight lines toward the two people working at the end of the room.
