4) DESCRIPTION: This photo reminds me of all the summer days I spent lying on a beach with the sun in my eyes. Even if I closed my eyes, the sun was so bright that it would give my eyelids an orange tint. The sun is also reflecting off of the water, making it even brighter.

THEME: Summer
DESCRIPTION: A purple and blue light shines into the crowd. Hear the guitar while shrouded in bright purple haze. Carefree we dance in the darkness illuminated by colored light. This is Summer.
ATTRIBUTES: This photo was taken by me in Connecticut over the 2020 summer.
THEME: Summer
DESCRIPTION: The photo showcases a beautiful sunrise on the beach. The bright orange ball of light illuminates the sky in rays of orange, yellow and pink. The reflection of the sun on the water almost resembles fire. The pink tinted ocean creates a feeling of warmth and relaxation.

THEME: summer
DESCRIPTION: The rising sun pushes past the hills on the horizon. The trees barricade the orange glow from pushing onto the land for one last day at a summer camp. The water is calm and peaceful. Serenity flows through the air

4) DESCRIPTION: The amber colors beaming out of the sky remind you of iced orange juice on a hot summer afternoon as the sun silhouettes the palm trees, instantly making me think of the dry heat on this family trip to California. The wispy clouds are a sign of beautiful summer weather, even as the sun begins to down.
I chose my inspiration picture as it has an interesting contrast of the orange and the purple. It has the feeling of Fall in that it has romantic warm colors, and the way the woman is lit is similar to the background but with less harsh warms and a light cool to make her look more real. The lighting has a richer version of purple than the inspiration as it better exemplifies the rich feeling of Fall.

Springtime is a very romantic time of year, so the colors I found in this image of a Spring sunrise on Long Island fit that idea perfectly. The subtle pink melding in the bluish sky gives off an impression of warmth that isn’t overpowering. The sweetness of the lighting evokes the romantic time of springtime along with the bright energy of the emerging morning.

A hot summer day in New England means there are no clouds in the sky and everything is too bright. The harshness of the day is reflected in the far too bright sky, and the lighting itself makes you want to be wearing sunglasses.

An afternoon in the Winter of Alaska consists of a dark blue sky with an orange tint of the sun reflecting off the land. It’s almost a sunset but the sun doesn’t alter the sky yet and simply adds a glow to the land.

I took this picture myself at Universal. This has a really summery feeling to me because of the way the sunlight is hitting the brick walls, which are already a very warm color as it is. All the light bouncing off the brick walls and shining through the skylights gives it a very warm welcoming tone. Overall it just feels like the atmosphere is sort of like the peak of the summer where you can see the heat rising off the streets/

The harsh sunlight brightly washes over the scene. The colors of the flowers stand bright with the fun reflections of the pin reminding me of the place I always go in the summer. A mini golfing place right down the street to me has the same wooden boundaries with brightly colored flowers and little metallic pinwheels. There’s something really fun about the pinwheel, it’s a cheesy addition to the beauty of nature right next to it.
