Virtual Light Lab: Four Seasons

 

1)Fall Sunset in Vermont

In this scene, I recreated a fall sunset in Vermont. The warm hues of ambers, golds and reds created here are like the colors of the trees and of the sky.

2)Spring Sunrise in New England

This scene shows a typical New England spring morning. It has deep blues which give a cold, morning chill to the picture, but warm yellows in the background, rising with the sun to burn away the morning mist.

3) Noon on a hot Brazilian Day

This picture shows a steamy Brazilian jungle. At high noon, the light would be filtering through the leaves, looking green and yellow and textured.

This scene depicts a cold, wintry afternoon in Alaska. I tried to recreate the harsh lighting that would be reflecting off of the snow and the cold darkness that would be setting in.
