Light Lab
When I think of winter, I immediately picture a cold icy winter night. North Dakota’s mountainous landscape brings gives me a sense of chill and brisk air while gazing at the rolling hills under the moonlight. I used (359 medium violet) for the backlight to create a cold moonlight/midnight feeling, (47 light rose purple) to create a dramatic and eerie feeling as one often gets when the air is cold, and lastly, (66 cool blue) to bring that icy feeling of winter into the lighting.
Noon is the brightest time of day, with the light pretty much directly overhead. When thinking of summer I feel the warm glow of the sun, and picture the vibrant colors of sherbet dripping from a child’s hand amongst the hot chalk dressed sidewalk. For the backlight I used (34 flesh pink) to create a bright atmosphere, (20 medium amber) to give the stage the feel of an afternoon sun, and lastly, (312 Canary) for a more vibrant sunlight and summer glow.
Fall is my favorite season, as it gives me the calm and cozy feeling of warmth and peace. When imagining the lighting of fall, I wanted to capture the colors of the changing leaves, along with the feeling of running through a pumpkin patch. For the backlight I used (22 Deep amber) to give a campfire like warmth because who doesn’t want a s’more on a chilly autumn evening, (95 medium green) to capture the colors of the changing fall foliage, and (15 deep straw) to provide the sense of a warm golden glow.
When thinking about a nice spring Sunday mass, I am inspired by the colors of the sun pouring through the stain glass windows, and the freshly bloomed flowers surround the alter. For the backlight I used (349 fuchsia) as an accent color to represent the pink of spring, and reds tones used for many catholic reasons, (313 light relief yellow) to portray the golden sun beams shinning through the windows, and lastly (377 Iris purple) for the sense of cool colors of the stain glass peaking into the pews.
