Lately I have been doing a lot of Exposure Compensation photos to make daytime look like night,here are two examples :
And, it made me start thinking. Concerning sunrise and sunset, is there a way to tell them apart? And can any of you think of a creative way or concept which helps to tell them apart from each other?
Not that in the end it really matters. They are both beautiful, but if you DID want to distinguish them from one another, what elements might you include? ??
@kannafoot Wow, that is really scientific and complete. So, according to this article, your eyes might see stuff differently in the morning than at night. And particles can affect the sunset whereas sunrise is clearer because of less human activity and smog that blew out overnight....
LOL Yeah, I interpreted as a definite no, unless it's a maybe when sometimes it's a yes. Living in a very urban area, I guess I'd see a distinction because of the pollution factor, but if you live in the Great Plains, perhaps the distinction isn't so prevalent.
I observe sunrises over the ocean with little or no pollution but occasional low cloud. The sunset over the mountains is less spectacular because any clouds have burned off.
If I went to our West Coast I doubt that a sunset over the ocean would be significantly different to my sunrise on the East Coast.
@adambralston You've got a great point there Adam. When I used the word 'mountains' I was referring to our mere pimples not the grandeur of the Rockies. That is certainly an impressive capture.

Otherwise... the answer is kind of no?
Cool.

I agree that pollution changes either.
