Lighting Observation 6
Date: 3/2/2016 Time: 6:00 p.m. Location: On the shuttle near Fulton Ave
Objective Description: The sun is just starting to set, so the colors are pastel looking being mostly blue and a light orange. The wires coming from the telephone poles and the tall, industrial structures that liter the sky are all silhouetted.
Subjective Description: The soft colors of the sky, orange and blue, were blended together effortlessly. The sky, although the sun was setting, still seemed to have a glow to it, even though it was not providing much light. In contrast, the black silhouette of the poles, wires, and metal structures lining the streets stood out as dark and gloomy. The thing that stood out the most was the overlapping silhouettes of the seemingly thousands of wires that covered the sky. The dark nest of twisted and intertwined strings above the bus seemed so out of place being in the foreground of the soft, pastel sky. The fact that there was such a contrast between the foreground and background emphasized the infinite amount of wires which may not have been as noticeable during the daytime. The slight change of lighting brought out qualities of the surroundings that otherwise may have been missed.
