Lighting Observation

Photo Attribute: Google Images

Theme: Summer

Description: I chose this photo because it reminds me of vacation. Often my family and I will go on vacation upstate each summer. We always enjoy swimming in the lake so this photo made me feel nostalgic. I like how the person doing a flip into the water is almost aligned with the sun. The sun acts as a back light for the person jumping.

Lighting Observation

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 4/20/21- 5:00 pm

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I was in my dorm hallway when I noticed the light from the windows in the lounge was being casted through the doorway.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Nearing the end of the day, the light shines as brightly as it can before the sun continues its steady procession towards its vanishing. As it marches on, the windows capture that light and throw it all around the room, aiming for the nooks and crannies of the area. Light carries straight until it is cast through the door, creating a rectangular shape on the hallway floor.

Lighting Observation

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 4/21/2021 – 11:30 am – pathway of Breslin Hall

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sun just came back out after a rain shower and was reflecting off of the puddles and peering through the dewy leaves of the trees outside of Breslin Hall.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The relief felt as I pulled my hoodie down on this chilly, rainy day woke me up as I exited a particularly bland lecture. Excited for a new day as the sunlight reflected off of the puddles on the ground and warmed my skin, I felt refreshed as I walked to my car, saddened that I would have to stay in and work the rest of the day at a desk.

Lighting Observation

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 3/25/2021 – 6:30pm – Uniondale

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sunlight is dispersed through the clouds as it begins to set, creating a salmon ring that can be seen through the clouds. The clouds soften the light blurring the light.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light tries creeping it’s way to me, filtered by the clouds, stopping it from brightening the world and tinting the sky. The clouds soften the usually blinding light of the sun, creating a gentle, pastel color, making the two a perfect pair and creating a sense of calmness.

Photo Observation- Spring

2) Attribute the Photo, tell us where it came from.

This is a photo I took of my dog last March (2020).

3) THEME: Spring

4) DESCRIPTION:

The sun has emerged to stay and its inhabitants soak in its spreading rays. The playful beings bound about in the bright green grass and sniff around in the fresh dirt and crisp air. The sweet smell of budding flowers and growing trees. Sun covers all and wraps its warmth across blue skies and bright colors.

Lighting Observation

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 3/6/21- 5:30 pm

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sun came out at the end of the day while I was on the intramural fields with the frisbee team.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sun pokes its head out to view the ground below but it is not noticed by the people facing away from the sun. As it pops out, it hits the back of their heads so that one person’s yellow shirt lights up and another’s hat shines under the light. A spotlight of sun coming to play.

Lighting Observation

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 9:01am on 3/4/20 behind CV Starr

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sun was very bright and there were lots of shadows. 

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The early morning sun was high in the sky. As students were walking to class, their shadows were cast on the tan concrete, crisp and unfuzzy. The shadows drank coffee, listened to music, and ran to class.

Lighting Observation

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 2/3/2020 at around 7:45am in my room in Vander Poel, facing East

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sky looked like a line of grey clouds, but then it abruptly ended right above the horizon when the sun was rising. 

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sky was a wall of opaque grey clouds, but there was a stark line of demarcation on the horizon where the golden sun was rising over the Nassau Collesium. Despite the light, the clouds remained dominant. 

 

Light Observation 10

1.) Hofstra Campus near Chalkins hall at 6:25 PM, Wednesday April 10th.

2.) While walking along side Chalkins, the sun was getting low and at about 40 degrees up and 30 degrees to my right. The sun was producing a light straw color, and the trees that blocked the sun revealed a cooler light blue lighting coming from directly above in the sky.

3.) I never noticed this before. The blue and the straw almost act like the warm and cool concept we use in lighting class. Also, I like the way the trees made the lines of cool and warm like a pattern or something.

Light Observation #3

When & Where: February 14th, 2017 / Constitution Hall Room 302

Objective Description: The suns rays were beaming into the dorm room. The light was hitting everything face-front from the window, causing shadows to extend far behind each object. Everything behind a shadow is nearly invisible due to how bright the sun is.

Subjective Description: The scene was intense and arrested my view as the sun shined directly in the dorm. It was as if the suns rays were flooding like water in the room and anything in it’s way were rocks in the stream.
