Morning Light after Rain, Isola Bella (Stairs and Sweetpeas) / Site Four: Isola Bella, 1989

 

Weather conditions change the quality of light. A photograph taken on a bright sunny day looks very different from one taken in the rain. Photographers use time of day and weather to capture an effect or create a mood. The colour and detail in this image are intensified by the early morning light after rain.
