For this project, after thinking about light, I realized I have a plant that is the perfect subject for this. My leafy plant, the third plant from the left, he’s a prayer plant. His leaves fold upward when it gets dark. So, I chose to do a timelapse that examines the way the prayer plant moves based on the light. When it got dark, it was tough to keep it dark enough so that the plant reacts but not too dark that the camera cannot pick up the image. I noticed if I have too many lights on inside, the plant will not fold. Although hard to see, the leaves on the prayer plant fold upward when it gets dark and back down as the morning sun comes in.
