Lighting Observation
1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: This past Wednesday, the 17th, and the bottom of my stairs around 9PM.
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The lighting moment I captured was directly on the wall at the bottom of the stairs. All the lights were off, and the light was a reflection from the moon through the window. Tree branches appear as a shadow from the light.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Typically, I run up the stairs when it is completely dark because I am still convinced a monster could chase me to my room. However, right before I started running, I noticed a gloomy light peaking through a window onto the stairs. My fear then shifted into being mesmerized by the magic of the moonlight. The moonlight created a silhouette of the tree branches that were moving from a gust of wind. I was so mesmerized by this square of light because it created a picture that was not originally there. Normally, when I run up the stairs, I just see a black wall. But on that very night, I imagined a background setting from a movie my dad used to make me watch all the time, Dracula. Ironically, the reflection was not scary, even though it reminded me of Dracula, but the feeling of comfort ran through me. That night, I walked up the stairs.
