Observation and Inference Practice

Both of these figures display two pictures of a building, pictures A and B, and one of a tree, picture C. They are fairly similar upon first impression. They are both aerial views of a building that appear to have been taken during different seasons and this may have been an instruction in this person’s methods section. This is an inference based upon the observation that the trees are fuller in one of the aerial pictures, however in Figure One picture A has full trees, whereas in Figure Two, picture B has full trees. Pictures A and B in Figure One appear have been taken at a farther distance as opposed to Pictures A and B in Figure Two. Picture C in Figure One features a bright and greener tree with a bluer sky, whereas Figure Two’s Picture C appears to be in less sunlight. One inference I could make from this is that Figure One’s Picture C was taken earlier in the day than Figure Two’s Picture C. The building featured in Figure Two’s Picture A and B appears to be animated and the building does not seem to fit in with the background of the picture which appears to be more natural. An inference I could make is that this person photoshopped or edited the image. Figure Two Picture A has an arrow pointing to the tree and Figure One does not have any arrows.
