-NC, 43 degree elevation angle, sidelight from stage right at 25% intensity.

-NC, 27 degree elevation angle, sidelight from stage right at 25% intensity.

The shadings used in this photo are used to depict what a sunset in Vermont would look like. A red and a yellow light is shone in the direction the sun is facing representing the warm beams that the sun can create. They fit in with the tree just losing it’s leaves in the autumn. The two faintly lit white lights are used to show that the atmosphere around sunsets aren’t completely bereft of light. The colors used in the backdrop gives a warm feeling that a sunset would normally evoke.

2. Spring Sunrise in New England.

The colors and lighting in this photo depicts a spring sunrise in New England. The warm atmosphere of the beach exhibits features of what spring can look like in the New England. The dark clouds above could possibly show an April shower about to occur. The red and yellow lighting comes from the angle the sun is rising from as it hits the subjects with and amber-ish glow. The two uncolored lights on the side represent the lighting around them. Just because there is one light source in the picture doesn’t mean everything around them is shrouded in shadow. The faint light on their feet is to show the very dim and blue glow upon their feet. The red and the deep golden amber in the backdrop give an aura of what a sunrise would give while the blue and red exhibit the light on the floor of the beach.

3. Noon on a hot Summer day in Brazil.

Top Cyc Lights:

-NC at 90%.

-R4560 (CalColor 60 Yellow) at Full Intensity.

Bottom Cyc Lights:

-NC at 30%.

-R4560 (CalColor 60 Yellow) at 75%.

-G120 (Bright Pink) at Full Intensity.

Model Lighting:

-NC, 37 degree elevation angle, 56 degree back angle, backlight on stage left at full intensity.

-RE452 (One Sixteenth White), 54 degree elevation angle direct backlight, front light center stage at full intensity.

-RE452 (One Sixteenth White), 37 degree elevation angle, 56 degree side angle, front light stage right at 50% intensity.

 

The shadow angle and sheer brightness in this picture shows what Noon would look like on a hot summer day in Brail. The backdrop exhibits shades of bright pink and pale yellow. These two color combine to create a wonderful shade of white that still exhibits colors of heat. The gold and white colors shine down from the back of the subject casting a bright beam of sunny colors as the sun is at it’s highest peek. The gold represents the sun and the white represents the light the sun emits. This beam of light creates a shadow in front of the subject. The shadow points in the same direction as the lady’s in the picture. The other white lights around the subject exhibit the quality of light that would shine around the subject. They are used to make just there are few shadows around the subject.

4. Winter Afternoon in Alaska.

Screen Shot 2014-04-16 at 3.05.37 PM

 

Top Cyc Lights:

-NC at 50%.

-AP6500 (Bikini Yellow) at 30%.

-G770 (Christel Blue) at Full Intensity.

Bottom Cyc Lights:

-NC at 75%.

-G920 (Pale Lavender) at 50%.

Model Lighting:

-NC, 54 degree elevation angle direct back light, front light center stage at 65% intensity.

-AP3300 (Whispering Lavender), 54 degree elevation angle direct back light, backlight center stage at full intensity.

-AP4800 (Ice Blue), 37 degree back angle, 56 degree back angle, backlight on stage left at full intensity.

-AP4800 (Ice Blue), 37 degree back angle, 56 degree back angle, backlight on stage right at full intensity.

The shadows and cool colors here, represent the winter chill of an afternoon in Alaska. The backdrop uses white and blue on the top to simulate the chill of a winter. Yellow is mixed in with these colors to represent the light of the sun. Pale lavender is used to mix in with the white to give a shadow-like feel. There is use of icy blue colors and lavender, not because of the light but because it adds to the shadow effect that a sun would create at his time of day. The white front light represents the light that would still be around him. In this time of day, his entire body wouldn’t be completely surrounded by darkness.

Lighting Observation

1) 3/26/14, Student Center Front Cafe, 9:25 PM

2) The light from Sbarro reflecting

3) I looked up and saw before me a glistening sheet of metal. As the generic yellow track lighting in Sbarro reflected off of their overhead vent, the light changed, and produced beautiful lines all around. All around, the room was illuminated, as the transformed yellow light bounced off of the vent. The light, no longer harsh, reflected back off of the scrim like curtain that blocks the window. The entire scene was beautiful, until I realized the danger of the place before me. Calories. ‘Nuff said.

 

Photo Observation #3

2.  Theme: Nightlife

3.  The lighting in this photo accurately portrays “nightlife” in a variety of different ways. The neon street signs in a huge array of colors are a huge point. They show off the city’s street and advertise the life within the city. The brightness of the signs and buildings juxtaposed to the black sky create a contrast that emphasizes the colors and shapes. The signs and light all try to sell you to the exuberant life within that city.

Photo Oberservation (Light Lab-Week 12)

1) LIGHT LAB #1 (2013)

I used two lights for this description (A Fall Sunset on Venus). The light in the back is AP7600 Full and the light in the front is AP2190 Full. I decided to place the lights directly above the figure because I found it to be the closest color of Venus during this time of year. I think this image depicts the moment because Venus has an orange color to it and during the Fall, I thought this is what would be appropriate for this description.

 

2) LIGHT LAB #2 (2013)

I used three lights in this image to make the lighting look like a (Spring Sunrise in New England on Earth). The two lights in the front are L767 Full and G345 Full and the light color in the back in LHT010 Full. I decided to place the lights this way because when I think of a sunrise on Earth, I think of a orange/bright yellow color getting lighter and lighter as the day begins. I think this image depicts the moment because these are the colors in which a sunrise looks like.

3) LIGHT LAB #3 (2013)

I used six lights in this image to make the lighting look like (Noon on a hot Summer day on Mars). The three lights in the back are L100 Full, G480 Full, and AP6400 Full and the three lights in the front are L104 Full, L117 Full and NC Full. The reason I feel that this lighting depicts this moment is because during the day at noon, when you look up the sun is very bright and the color is sometimes white from the shine. I think of when I am in certain areas of the city and it is very bright, and I look up, the color of the shine and glare of the sun is this color for lighting.

4) LIGHT LAB #4 (2013)

I used seven lights in this image to make the lighting look like (Winter afternoon on Saturn). The four lights in the front are Yellow Full, AP8300 Full, AP8250 Full, and AP1800 Full. The three lights in the back are AP7770 Full, Ap8300 Full, and AP8100 Full. I tried to make the lighting look appropriate for being on Saturn and I felt that this is what an afternoon in Saturn would look like. I felt that the bright yellow on the top hand side of the figure would signify that it is afternoon on Saturn.

 

 

 

 

Light Lab!

1) A Fall Sunset in Vermont

Backdrop:
AP3150 at 75%
AP6900 at 75%

Downstage left (top to bottom):
AP3150 at 100%;  32 degree elevation angle; 56 degree side angle
G180 at 100%;  23 degree elevation angle; 56 degree side angle
G315 at 100%; 0 degree elevation; 56 degree side angle
AP6900 at 100%; -19 degree elevation angle; 56 degree side angle

Upstage right (top to bottom):
AP1800 at 100%; 23 degree elevation angle; 56 degree back angle
AP7750 at 100%; 0 degree elevation angle; 56 degree back angle

I chose the colors for the backlighing because I wanted them to represent the colors of autumn that would be seen on trees. I made the front light the progression from lighter to dark the way a sunset changes as you look farther up in the sky. I made the backdrop similar to the front light to further show the sunset changes.

2) An Easter Sunrise in a Gothic Cathedral

Backdrop:
AP5800 at 75%
AP8500 at 75%

Center stage left (top to bottom):
AP5800 at 50%; 37 degree angle elevation
AP8500 at 100%; 0 degree angle elevation

Upstage right:
AP5800 at 75%; 23 degree elevation angle; 56 degree side angle
AP8500 at 100%; -19 degree elevation angle; 56 degree side angle

I like these colors because the pale pink and aqua make me think of easter eggs, and Easter in general. I wanted the lights to work the same way as they did with the sunset, with the lighter colors on the bottom and the darker on top, to recreate that sunrise/sunset feel.

3) Noon on a hot Summer Day in the Caribbean

Backdrop:
G841 at 100%
G455 at 100%

Front light:
AP7350 at 100%; -31 degree elevation angle; 37 degree side angle

Center stage left (top to bottom):
AP7350 at 75%; 37 degree elevation angle
AP7350 at 75%; 27 degree elevation angle

Center stage right:
AP6500 at 75%; 0 degree elevation angle

Upstage right:
AP6500 at 75%; 32 degree elevation angle; 56 degree side angle

I used the backdrop to create the lively feeling of the ocean and beach of the Caribbean, coupled with bright, warm, all around lighting on the figure to show the sunlight hitting her.

4) Winter Afternoon Just Before Snow

Backdrop:
G820 at 100%
G515 at 100%

Upstage left:
G515 at 75%; 0 degree elevation angle; 56 degree side angle

Center stage left:
G515 at 75%; -31 degree elevation angle; 37 degree side angle

Upstage left:
G515 at 25%; 0 degree elevation angle; 56 degree side angle

Upstage right (top to bottom):
G515 at 50%; 32 degree elevation angle; 56 degree side angle
G515 at 50%; 0 degree elevation angle; 56 degree side angle

I wanted the light to be kind of soft for the early afternoon, so I threw some blue into the backdrop. I really wanted to emphasize the coming of the snow, so everything is in stark white, and is fairly evenly lit the way it would be with light reflecting off the white of the snow.
