Create a compact study of changing daylight by using the same framing for a few photographs taken at different times. Gather a camera, a notebook, and an unobstructed indoor window.

Set it up

Pick a view without private details of neighboring homes and note where your camera rests relative to the window frame. Clean the inside glass first and keep room lights off if their reflections appear in the photographs.

Put the idea to work

Take four photographs from the same safe indoor position, keeping the camera angle and visible window edges consistent.

Finish and keep it useful

Arrange the images in a two-by-two grid and label each with the time and the visible weather conditions. Do not lean outside or include identifiable people without considering their privacy.
