I chose this photo because of the juxtaposition of light on either side of her face. The way the light is hitting her is leaving half very blue and cool, and the other half very orange and warm. This makes one side of her face look more alive and awake and excited, while the other side looks somber and tired. The light reflecting on her glasses is also very eye-catching and makes it hard to see her eyes which makes the picture more interesting to look at.

ATTRIBUTES : This photo was taken by Jeff Schultz.

THEME : Wildcard

DESCRIPTION : The first thing that I noticed about this picture was the use of color. I love how the picture has generally muted colors, and then there is the bright strike of green against the muted colors that pulls focus. I love how the limited use of the green makes it that much more impactful. I also enjoy how the water reflects the skyline to create a mirrored effect. The cool tones of the picture give the feeling of cold weather.

Photo Observation

Attribute: Google Images

Theme: Wildcard?

Description: I chose this photo because I thought it was unique that there was a person walking by in the foreground. I like how it looks like the person is in motion and simply passing by the full moon in the background. I also like how the person and the trees are a silhouette and the sky in the background is still blue, seemingly after the sun has set. The moon is the brightest part of the photo so it drew me in first. Then my eyes adjusted and took note of the rest of the details. The image without the person would still be beautiful but the addition of something just passing by gives it more of a story line.

Lighting Moment

DATE/TIME/LOCATION: 4/23/2022 Playhouse Tech Rehearsal 3:00pm

OBJECTIVE: The house lights are down and it’s very dark on stage. There are many people in the theater besides my cast, SM, and the tech crew. As the lights are being adjusted we are marking through the main parts of the piece and walking through molding the piece to the stage.

SUBJECTIVE: This made me realize how empty the space is when there isn’t an audience. Even thought this wasn’t my first time in a tech, I liked the way it felt to be on the stage with no audience. The way the seats look in the dark with no one in them gave a sense of potential energy that I hadn’t noticed before. I think because this piece is particularly high energy it was more prominent.

Lighting Moment

DATE/TIME/LOCATION: Wednesday 4/27/2022 Residential Side of Campus 3:11pm

OBJECTIVE: It’s a sunny warm afternoon. The trees are shifting in the breeze and the shadows from the trees are reflecting the movement of the trees.

SUBJECTIVE: I like watching the branches and how they move and dance in the breeze. I like the gradient of different intensities of shadows on the ground. The shadows of the treasure reminiscent of the roots that are below the surface of the ground. It feels like I’m looking at the ancestry of the trees that are near each other because you can. see how their shadows are intertwined.

Lighting Observation #10

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: April 25, 2022, 5:30 PM, Constitution

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I turned on the big light instead of using my lamp while I was on a Zoom call on my computer

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: After months of suffering from wanting to be seen but not being able to see people on the zoom call, I decided to try turning on the big light in my dorm instead of the nice lamp I normally use. Since the light wasn’t coming from directly behind me, I could finally see the other participants without any glare.

Bring the Magic of Fireflies Back Home Again — First Light Wildlife Habitats

2) ATTRIBUTE: First Light Wildlife Habitats, photo by Radim Schreiber

3) THEME: Wildcard

4) DESCRIPTION: I like this photo because the flowers give the picture scale, showing that what looks like such a tiny light to us is a whole world of light for the firefly. The petals of the flower are so thin that the light shines right through them, making them and the rest of the flower glow. I also like how the light bounces off of the other flowers.

Light Observation

  1. Date / Time / Location: April 26th / 7:29 pm / John Cranford Adams Playhouse
  2. Objective Description: Currently, I am sitting in one of the downstairs dressing rooms of Hofstra’s large playhouse. There is one singular dim-lit rectangular light illuminating the entire room. In front of me sits a vanity mirror with two parallel sides of light bulbs emanating warm light.
  3. Subjective Description: The cool-tone of the ceiling light provides a nice contrast to the warm lighting from the vanity before me. Although I am usually one who disdains warm lighting indoors, I feel like this low-intensity lighting from the vanity is helping me to relax before traveling to the stage. The closet within the room doesn’t have a light, but again I feel that the low quantity of lights is helping me to focus only on what’s in front of me / what matters.

Lighting Observation- #11

  1. April 23, 2022, 2:12pm
  2. Second floor of the library in front of the big window facing Hofstra Hall
  3. It is a bright but somewhat gloomy day. The big windows letting in natural light makes everything around me appear bright, but when I look out towards the sky it is mostly cloud covered and a more muted blue. Against the white sky and the large white building (Hofstra Hall) in front of me, the greenery of the trees and the blue “pride and purpose” flags on the light poles pop out.

Photo Observation – Wild Card

  1.  Theme: Wild Card
  2.  Attributes: pinterest.com
  3. Description: I love the haze and shadows in this photo. The dark coloring creates a silhouette effect on the people holding hands, and the fog in front of them makes them appear almost ghost-like. What stands out most to me, however, is the glow in their eyes. Overall, these elements work together to create an unsettling and eery photo that I really appreciate. It makes me curious about who these people are, what their relationship is, and what they are up to.
