Lighting Observation 1 (Week 5)
1) Wednesday March 2, 5PM, past Dutch Treats walking to Nassau Suffolk
2) Bright sunlight coming between the clouds hitting a bush.
3) As I was walking back to my dorm, I passed on my right a bush covered with tiny yellow flowers that had just bloomed. The late afternoon sun was creating shadows on most of the bush, but some sections lit up with color reflecting the bright sun. The flower’s were so bright and so vivid compared to the brown/grey of the bush. The bush’s branches were still mostly bare except for the flowers and the thin branches were exposed. The sun passing through the many branches created long, thin, vertical, shadows which criss-crossed the bush. This distinct shadows combined with the bright spots of yellow created a happy and eager feeling as one of the first signs of spring emerged.
