Brennan Sunset Photo

 

From: My camera roll, taken November 22nd 2022. Sunset from my bedroom window in Hempstead, NY.

Theme: Sunrise/Sunset

This was a photo from the end of last semester. I had just wrapped on a film project I had been working on, and this was my last night in New York before heading home for Thanksgiving break. I have a West facing window in my bedroom, and often have a chance to view the sunset over the trees and buildings. This particular sunset struck, it had already crossed the horizon (at least as far as I could tell from my perspective) and the deep twilight blue was taking over the sky — broken by a strip of glowing orange as the last streams of sunlight bent around the far curve of the Earth. The glow from the light silhouetted the neighborhood, which turned into a mass of shape and form. It looked pretty cool, so I took a few photos. I was in the sunset of the semester, and that Thanksgiving was the first real break I had from working on any big projects in months. It was a great moment of catharsis knowing I could relax for a while.

Sunset Photo

April 5, 2022 – Picture taken by me at my best friends house (Atlanta, GA)

Theme: Sunrise/ Sunset

As I was leaving my best friend Katie’s house, we both pointed out how beautiful the sunset was, which prompted me to take this picture. The orange color makes me feel very calm and relaxed because it symbolizes the end of my work and school day and the start of me being able to relax. The warm light also makes me feel nostalgic because I miss being able to drive to my best friend’s house to see her whenever I wanted to.

Light Observation #9

  1. Wednesday, April 13th, around 7:00am. Looking out the window outside of the girl’s bathroom in Lowe.
  2. The sunrise peeking out between the Playhouse and Calkins Hall.
  3. Most of the sky was a light grey, the color before the sun actually takes over the sky. Although I couldn’t see it, I  believe the Sun was just above the horizon and the orange and pink from the Sun were peaking out above the buildings. There was some cloudage in the sky which gave the pink and orange something to shine off of and create more saturated areas of the sky.

Four Seasons: Virtual Light Lab Project

1. A Fall Sunset in Vermont

Instruments 1-4 are hung USR using gel R32 at full with a 36 degree flood and soft focus. Instruments 3-6 are hung two positions below instruments 1-4 SR and are using gel R40 at full with a 36 degree flood and soft focus. The top cyc lights are using gel R74 at 80% and the bottom cyc lights are using gel R11 at 65%.

The lower hanging lights are representative of the direct sunlight as it is about ti set while the upper hanging lights is the brighter pinker light that fills the sky. The blue light on the cyc represents the color that slowly takes over the sky in a sunset’s last few minutes.

2. Easter Sunrise in a Gothic Cathedral

Instrument 1 is hanging in the upstage SR corner using gel R45 at full with a 50 degree flood and soft focus. Instrument 2 is hanging in the upstage SR corner using gel R68 at full with a 50 degree flood and soft focus. Instrument 3 is one hanging position below instruments 1 and 2 SR; it is using gel R13 at full with a 50 degree flood and soft focus. All instruments are using the “Breakup” gobo.

The gobo is giving the impression of the light coming through a stained glass window, along with the colored light that the Sun gives off when shining through the stained glass. The light is coming from SR like the Sun has just begin rising in the East.

3. Noon on a Hot Summer Day

The bottom cyc lights are using gel R75 at full. Instruments 1 and 2 are at the downstage corners using gel R313 at full with a 90 degree flood and soft focus. Instruments 3, 4, and 5, are center stage using gel 313 at full with a 50 degree flood and soft focus.

The direct overhead center stage light represents the direct overhead Sun at noon and the light that the corner instruments give off helps fill the space to give more of a hotter feeling. The blue cyc gives the illusion of the Caribbean sea.

4. Winter Afternoon Just Before the Snow

Instruments 1-6 are in every corner hanging position with gel L201 at full with a 90 degree flood and soft focus. The top and bottom cyc lights have no gel and are at full. Instrument 7 is DC using gel R67 at full with a 90 degree flood and soft focus. Instruments 8 and 10 are in the downstage and center hanging positions that split center and SL; they are using gel R67 at full with a 90 degree flood and a soft focus. Instrument 9 is in line with instruments 8 and 10 at the upstage hanging position; it is using gel R67 at full with a 50 degree flood and a soft focus.

There is a flood of white light that gives off the harsh white hue that Winter air seems to have. The flood of blue is the Sun’s Winter Light, and the more distinct blue beam shows where the Sun’s afternoon light is directly coming from.

Photo Observation

  1. Attributes: This photo was taken by Michael Fletcher in Laguna Beach, California during the first few days of winter.
  2. Theme: sunrise / sunset
  3. Summary: A faint beam of yellow peaks out in the distance from behind a cliff. The yellow is most vibrant behind the cliff and fades slightly as it extends further above the ocean. Multiple peachy and blue colors cloud the sky as the sun rises. I love this photo because you cannot see the sun, but you can recognize its affect on the color of the clouds surrounding it.

Sunrise Post

  1. ATTRIBUTES: This photo was taken by Susan Ogan in Marblehead, Massachusetts on December 30, 2020.
  2. THEME: Sunrise/Sunset
  3. DESCRIPTION: The sun is barely visible as it has just begun rising. Its bright light pierces through the sky to create a gradient of colors. Further, there is a pillar like ray of light that is emitted of the sun that creates this feeling of movement or trajectory through the sky. I chose this sunrise because I like how even though you are not able to see the actual sun, you are able to see how its bright light affects the rest of the sky.

 

Sunrise Picture

  1. This is a photo of a sunrise I took looking out into the Atlantic Ocean from the 39th Street beach in Ocean City, Maryland at 6:21 am on July 22, 2021.
  2. Theme: Sunrise/Sunset
  3. The Sun appears to be a nice, small ball of white light surrounded by an orange aura. The surrounding orange reflects on the ocean’s surface, which makes it appear as if a line of fire is coming to greet you at the edge of the waves. There is also some nice “cloudage” in the sky, allowing for there to be a nice transition from the peach colored sky into the grayish-blue sky.

Photo Assignment 2-11-21

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

I took this photo in January of 2021 on my way home from Myrtle Beach, SC. (So this picture was taken somewhere in SC.)

3) THEME: Sunset/Sunrise

4) DESCRIPTION: The sun always manages to fight through its cloudy roadblocks in order to brighten the sky. Amber glows bright and warm amidst the continually darkening skies. A layered farewell before the night sweeps across the golden light.

Light Observation

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 3/12/20, 7:45ish am, my room in West Hempstead

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: It was very early and the sun had just risen, casting some light into my room. 

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: As I rubbed my eyes after being unseemingly awoken, I noted how the sun was up and was casting small slivers of white light into my dark room through the cracks of my blinds. 

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.
