Lighting Observation #8 – Bridge Lights

  1. Date: 3/29/18, Time: about 5:50 pm, Location: Bridge near Netherlands dorms
  2. The lights that align the bridge create a pathway back to the safety of the parked cars below.
  3. I walk along a winding road, as I often do at the end of the day. There is still light outside, but the clouds make it dark enough to see the inner bridge’s lights shine a bit brighter. Each light acts as a spotlight of its own, pouring down a small pool of light on anyone beneath it.

Photo Observation #8 – Surreal

  1. Found on https://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/create-a-surreal-moon-balloons-scene-with-photoshop–cms-27547
  2. Theme: Surreal (plus Lighting Key)
  3.  The moon is a natural reflector of light, sitting in the sky like a silvery mirror. However, the fact that the moon is represented as multiple balloons of light is beyond bizarre. And yet, it still provides the same natural glow of the celestial object.

Light Observation #7

1) March 29th-5:15pm-Penn Station

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: After getting off an LIRR train at Penn station, I stood to the side while I waited for my friends to meet up. There was a long and large strip of a florescent light that was very bright above me. It hit me on an angle on my right side. There was also a large square shaped post that blocked a certain area of the light which created a sharp line to the shape of the field of light.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light was so bright it distracted me from what I was supposed to be doing. The light created a mesmerizing feeling because of how bright it was. I felt like a moth being attracted to light because of how I couldn’t stop looking at it. The light was leaning on the cool toned side, however not extremely cool toned that it was very noticeable. This lighting moment was distracting and very odd as it made me feel frozen in the busy train station.

Lighting Observation #8

March 28th / Axinn Library 10th Floor

Objective Description: The Sun is slowly setting and its light is directly behind someone’s head, creating a silhouette.

Subjective Description: Looking up from my book, all I could see is the outline of my friend. The Suns rays would have been beaming into my eyes if my friend hadn’t been sitting there and their long shadow hadn’t been cast. The image was nearly biblical.
