Watch the Magic!




For my two pictures I chose a gift basket full of different types of loofahs. The first picture, shown on your left, was taken during peak sunlight hours, around 2:30 pm. The second picture, shown on your right, was taken during a less "bright" time of day, around 6:30 pm. Let's begin with an analysis of the first picture. The hue of the wood definitely has an orange tint, and because the sun is shining so brightly on the wood, it shows every flaw and every age line. The color of the wood is also very saturated and filled with vivid color intensity. The loofah in the top left corner is vivid yellow hue, making it have a darker value of yellow. The bow connected to the loofah in the baggy in the top right looks almost transparent, with the rays of light hitting the material directly and exposing its true substance. The hand-held loofah with the black front has that same orange hue as the container. Also, the black portion is sparkling and has a gray hue, making it a lighter value of black. Now onto the picture on the right. First of all, the wood definitely has more of a yellow hue, making it a much lighter value of color than the wood on the left. Although you can see some age lines on the wood, you cannot see every flaw in it, and the light is much softer and lighter because the sun isn't directly hitting it. Even the picture doesn't look as clear as the one taken earlier in the day. The loofah in the top left corner is now a soft, dull yellow, similar to the yellow hue you would find on a baby blanket. The bow connected to the loofah in the baggy looks like more of a solid colored material now, really picking up a gold hue that I didn't see as much around 2:30. The wood handle on the hand-held loofah is much lighter and almost looks faded. The black part looks much more black, giving it a darker value.
