Sun & Shade

To supplement my research on sun and shade modelling, I have been creating stop-motion animations to record the movement of sunlight through the landscape. Each animation on this page was recorded over a one-hour period, unless otherwise specified. These animations illustrate the dynamic and ephemeral nature of sunlight.
