Reflection on the Expert Interview The expert interview took place at Rory’s aunt and uncle’s house the Sunday before last. Our interview subject, Chris, the founder of lightsaber club, did very well as a speaker. He definitely liked to talk so we had no difficulty in trying to make him comfortable or getting him to open up.

What do you think of the club? Why would you recommend others join or not? What do yo...

The light is very intense, considering that the sun is the sole light source. Beyond the archways, harsh light falls on the fountain and the water - I think the color temperature is around 3000 °k - 4000 °k, it’s quite warm, the sun is between late afternoon and dusk. The way the sun streams through the vines creates warm toned leaf cutouts in the shadows on the ground and the pillars. Downtown Wilmington - 9/3/2017, 5:31 pm From the roof of a parking garage, the intense direct sunlight casts harsh light on surrounding rooftops. Shadows are cast by air conditioning units and telephone wires - cast down and towards the viewer, some rooftops are fully in the shade of their neighbor buildings. The color temperature may be growing towards 2000°k, dusk is...
