1st lighting observation
1) Feb. 11th – 11:42 a.m – Suffolk Hall, lounge area: I was in the lounge area on the 3rd floor of Suffolk Hall when I had my lighting “moment.”
2) The light that came in the window from the mid morning sun. The windows have been decorated with paint and the shadow of the letters was readable on the floor below the window.
3) As I was doing some reading for class on Friday in the lounge area on the 3rd floor of Suffolk hall I noticed that the painted letters on the decorated window were being cast onto the floor by the sunlight that shone in from the middle window facing out onto campus. The sun was very bright in the mid morning of the day and I didn’t need to turn a light on to read. Each floor has a suite that was converted into a lounge this year and our lounge has a balloon theme specifically from the movie “UP.” We were also able to write on the windows with paint and on one of the windows it reads,”How about that 3rd floor.” The sun was shinning so brightly into the lounge that morning that the letters from the window were cast onto the floor in front of me when I walked into the room. The shadow of the letters were very defined because of the strength of the sun and I thought it looked really cool to have the letters cast on the floor. The whole room was lit from just the one source and anything that got in its way, such as the painted letters cast this nice defined shadow.
