Shade Continuity: No Gaps Allowed

A subtropical pedestrian street at noon, with an emphasis on continuous shading. The image clearly shows the shadow coverage: the canopies of street trees overlap to form a continuous green canopy; gaps between tree canopies are filled with simple metal grilles or canvas awnings; arcades on both sides provide another layer of shelter. The three types of shading connect seamlessly, with no exposed sections longer than a few steps, allowing people to walk from one end of the street to the other almost without being exposed to the sun. A corner of the image contrasts this with a discontinuous section: a ten-meter area completely without shade, the ground bright and glaring, with all pedestrians crowded to the shaded side. Avoid: making the two sections similar, large gaps in shading, using heat-reflecting metal ground surfaces, depicting pedestrians in unshaded sections.

一條正午時分的亞熱帶徒步街道,重點在遮蔭的連續性。畫面可以清楚看出陰影的覆蓋:行道樹的樹冠彼此交疊形成連續的綠色頂蓋;樹冠之間不足的路段以簡潔的金屬格柵或帆布頂棚補上;兩側的騎樓提供另一層遮蔽。三種遮蔭互相接續,沒有超過幾步的曝曬路段,因此人可以從街的一端走到另一端而幾乎不被曬到。畫面一角以有斷點的路段作對照:一段十幾公尺的區域完全無遮蔭,地面明亮刺眼,行人全部擠到有影子的一側。避免:讓兩者相似、讓遮蔭出現大段斷點、使用會反射熱的金屬地面、把行人畫在無遮蔭的路段。
