Some domes the third graders (i.e. tenth graders) have placed on the field to make the position of the sun during the day. This is looking west.

Originally shot with the wrong white balance, and I quite liked it that way, but then I played around with removing the colour cast and I liked it better.

It's not a tuft of grass but a nylon field marker.

Interesting looking exercise. I can remember doing sun-tracking at high school, but I think it involved shadow sticks.

The world of technology. Interesting cloud formation.. although, I suppose cloud cover can be a disadvantage when tracing the position of the sun.

Sounds like a fun project! I'll tell you what though, my son would love to get his hands on those domes for playing with!

I stared at this for a while, curious about the quality of the light. It looked different. Then, I see it is in Japan. I find it fascinating how the color & quality of sunlight is so very different, around the world. I wonder if it is the light in Japan that encouraged so much interest in photography there. And these students are tracing the angle of the sun. How cool is that!
