I found this photo because it showed up as my lockscreen for my laptop. So, I was like “Oh damn, this fits the theme perfectly” and found a way to save the Windows Spotlight photos for this very purpose.
Theme: Hot
Description: What I love about this photo is that it’s a vibrant, warm, orange glow that flows all the way to the top of the staircase. Also, the circular pattern of the stairs as it focus more towards a condensed spot, the space between the bulbs is decreased and it looks like balls of energy converging into one. Also, from a different perspective, it looks like you’re going down towards the core of the Earth.
Time: Friday, 1:30am
Objective: Two computer screens, one with a warm color temperature and another with a cooler, illuminate an otherwise completely dark room.
Subjective: The lights from the screens cast a pool of light in the area surrounding, bouncing off the walls and allowing me to see the every inch of the room as if the lights were on. My roommates screen is a bright white that is a bluer shade, while I have changed the color of my screen to be more amber, which just so happens to match the color schemes in our room: her side blue, mine orange.

Theme: Hot
Description: This is a picture I took at Witches Brew coffee shop back in October when they had all orange, red, and yellow lights up for Halloween. This lights, along with the warm decor inside gave the entire building a warm glow and made the building look almost as if there was a warm fire crackling in the fireplace, inviting you in from the cold.
Time: Sunday, 8pm
Objective Description: A cloud of smoke coming out of a tall smokestack was lit up by the obstruction lights on the smokestack, creating a lightning-like effect.
Subjective Description: As I was returning to Hofstra from New York City, I saw a flash of lighting out of the corner of my eye – but that couldn’t possibly be, it was February and freezing, which aren’t exactly ideal conditions for lighting. I looked to see what could have caused this, and it turned out to be the obstruction lights on a smokestack. A thick, nearly opaque cloud of smoke was billowing out of the smokestack, silhouetted briefly by flashing white-blue lights. It looked extremely reminiscent of lightning flashing in the clouds during a storm. I watched the lights flash several more times before driving away, trying to pretend that it was summer and this was actually a thunderstorm and it wasn’t less than zero degrees outside. Seeing the imposter lightning made me marvel that something man-made could so easily recreate one of nature’s most amazing and awesome lighting phenomenons.
Date: 2/8/16 Time: 11:00 Location: Max Cerci’s Room
Objective: lamp in the corner that is lighting up the room with the TV on.
Subjective: the lamp is creating a pool of light that is making the environment relaxing while watching Christina Aguilera, Max’s favorite artist. It gives off an amber color that lights up the corner of his room leaving the rest of the room slightly lit.
Date: 2/18/2016 Time: 8:15 p.m. Location: Backstage of Blackbox during As You Like It
Objective Description: The backstage area is black, walls to curtain. The only light shining is coming from small lights every four feet or so. The light shines like a sort of spotlight would onto a run crew member’s face.
Subjective Description: Emily, the run crew member standing under the light, is partially facing the curtain and I’m looking at her face almost in profile. The light that she is directly under creates shadows on her face that accentuate her features. Her nose looks smaller and I noticed a bump on her head due to the dark shadows. This lighting made her look like a completely different person and transformed all of her features. She also looked kind of frightening because all of the surrounding areas around her eyes were pitch black and large.

Description:
this picture depicts hot/warming light themes. The orange light that is peering through the gate gives a silhouette effect off of the people standing in front of it. When looking at this picture you can feel the warmth from the sun. The lighting effect really characterizes as hot.

Theme: Hot
Description: I was amazed when I saw this picture, and it was even more impressive when I zoomed in on it. The way the orange sunlight filters through the clouds makes it look as if the sky is on fire, and few things in the world are hotter than fire. The stark contrast of the bright sky against the dark, quiet forest almost gives you the illusion that you’re standing on a mountain observing an enormous forest fire far away – but it’s just an optical illusion, which makes it particularly cool (or should I say hot) … (sorry for the lame joke.)

Time: 5:45 am
Location: Constitution Hall Window
Objective Description: I woke up to a dark room, ready for a full day of travel when I noticed a little bit of pink coming from the dark sky. the sun was rising but the room was still dark and the campus was still asleep with the he street lamps still illuminated.
Subjective Description: The room still dark and drowsy remained still as the final hours of the night came to a close. Through the dark-shaded blinds, the first ray of light peased through with beams of a warm and welcoming pink followed by blues and yellows. I drew up the blinds and the dim dazed room was immediately ablaze with light, color, and life. The street lamps below still burning with fury as the natural light from thee sun’s rays bid them a job well done. A fervent sea of lights reached out to shake hands with the rainbow of colors above.
