Strategy #2

Emitted Light
Close to all of the light we see outside during a bright day is reflected sunlight. Very little amount of light originates elsewhere when the sun comes out. This strategy has me seeking out and using light sources other than the sun during a sunny day. One example would be a signal light at an intersection, but I am sure that one could find many, more interesting and usually unnoticed examples of emitted light in the daytime. This light could be captured at close enough range so that the reaction, at least initially, is, "what is that?"

Strategy #1

Reflections, refractions and other Distortions
The strategy is to gather light that is someway distorted by reflection or refraction. This may be reflections in the surface of water or light that is seen through smoke. Basically any type of reflection OR refraction in which distortion is sufficient that you can not make out a specific image in it. The reaction should be, "what is that?"
