Autumn Sunset in Vermont-

LIGHTS USED:

PAR 64 WFL @ 15% intensity, color “Gallo Gold”

cyc @ 10% intensity, color “Medium Red”

cyc @ 10% intensity, color “Deep Straw”

36 Source Four @ 20% intensity, color “Apollo Orange”

Whenever I think of sunsets, I think of dimmer lighting filled with warm tones. I wanted it to be soft, with lots of oranges and a nice blend of red and yellows.

A Spring Sunrise in a Gothic Cathedral-

LIGHTS USED:

36 Source Four @ 40% intensity, Church Window template GOBO, color “Light Lavender”

36 Source Four @ 30% intensity, color “Spanked Pink”

cyc @ 5% intensity, color Medium Red

cyc @ 5% intensity, color Primary Blue

The stained glass of the cathedral was something I wanted to play with. The sole light source is the rising sun (coming from the east) filtered through these windows, casting the scene in shades of pink and purple.

Noon on a Beach in Hawaii

LIGHTS USED:

cyc @ 20% intensity, color “tahitian blue”

36 Source Four @ 50% intensity, “Water Shining” Gobo, color “Island Blue”

6″ Fres @ 50% intensity

PAR 64 WFL @ 45% intensity, color “Pale Bastard Amber”

I wanted the feeling of the hot, tropical summer sun to feel almost oppressive in its lighting. It is all meant to be very bright. It’s peak daytime where the sun might begin to feel overwhelming.

Winter in North Dakota

cyc @ 15% in “Primary Blue”

6″ Fres @ 50%

PAR 64 MFL @ 20% in “Sky Blue Silk”

36 Source Four @ 10%, “Moving Clouds” GOBO

PAR 64 WFL @ 35%

I wanted to show a place covered in bright snow, hence a lot of the bright lights with no direct colors except blue. It’s freezing cold, and the sun reflecting brightly off the snow is nearly blinding.
