Lighting Observation

Posted on March 17, 2022 by previousstudent
  1. Date / Time / Location: March 12th , 6:08 pm , Pig Beach
  2. Objective Description: Before work this past Saturday, I stopped at a neighboring  restaurant and bar called Pig Beach to grab some dinner. The venue was large and full of people but still appeared spacious, since it was just one large room with a bar and kitchen along one wall. The room was well light with a bright yellowish color. There were no other colors present but there were lights strung along the ceiling above every other table.
  3. Subjective Description: The vastness of the space as well as the warm glow from the overhead light bulbs gave the bar a “home-ish” feeling. Not one corner was too dark or too bright, and the consistent lighting throughout made me feel as though I were never out of place, no matter where I stood. Furthemore, the calm lighting helped establish a calm mood for the people present at the bar, whereas loud and rambunctious bars have colored lights or dim brightness.

Light Observation #6

Posted on March 17, 2022 by previousstudent

DATE – TIME – LOCATION : March 17, 2022 at 12:24, Bits

 

OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION : In the back room of Bits, all the window blinds are shut, so the only light in the room is provided by the yellow artificial light of the overhead lights.

 

SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION : The harsh yellow light creates an uneasy atmosphere in the dining seating as students cram for their midterms. The artificial sense of the lights pulls attention to the forced behavior of the students to deprive themselves of fun in order to work towards good grades. The light is centered in the middle of the room, leaving the corners of the space slightly darker, creating a feeling of seclusion in the heavily busy area.

Light Observation Eve Alas

Posted on March 17, 2022 by previousstudent
  1. DATE: 03/17/22
  2. TIME: 10:00 pm
  3. LOCATION: Hofstra University Dempster studio
  4. OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: When I was in the studio last week, the weather was really dark and rainy/snowy so there was barely some light in the studio plus I did not put the lights on. What I have not noticed before is that usually when you are tired you want some calm and neutral light. The studio really dark and one little spot light coming from the outside was going through the window.
  5. SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The feeling that this lighting gave me was a sense of calmness, very serious, neutral, emotionless, and more inward/introverted feeling. I am a very extroverted person but for some reason this lighting was making me feeling very inside my thoughts and I wanted to be alone. It also gave me a sense of reflection about things I had in my head. The light was coming mostly from the left upper windows but it was really light and not heavy at all and the color was white.

Saint Patricks

Posted on March 17, 2022 by previousstudent

  1. DATE: 03/17/22
  2. TIME: 10:30 am
  3. LOCATION: Ireland
  4. THEME: Saint Patrick’s Day
  5. DESCRIPTION: I have never really celebrated Saint Patrick’s Day but I loved this photo because of the balloon and the small car with all of the decorations because it shows the liveliness of the celebration and the party mode people get into when it comes to this day. Also, the fact that it is in Ireland gives it an even bigger meaning because this celebration is from this country.

Lighting Observation – #6

Posted on March 17, 2022 by previousstudent
  1. March 17, 8:20am
  2. Location: in my fridge
  3. Fridge lighting isn’t all that aesthetically pleasing to me. When I opened my fridge to grab some leftover food this morning, the harsh lighting was not super pleasant, especially compared to the window-lit kitchen. I appreciated the contrast between the two kinds of light after going into my fridge.

Photo Observation

Posted on March 17, 2022 by previousstudent

Attributes: Independent.ie article

Theme: St. Patrick’s Day

Description: I chose this image because I found it interesting that there is lighting both from below and above yet the subject is so large that there is still a dark band around the center. I also really like how cool the green light is and how it’s more on the blue side. To me, this makes me think of those pictures of ships at the bottom of the sea that are being excavated or photographed which adds an eerie and forgotten nature to the photo.

St. Patrick’s Day

Attributes: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Flisting%2F1073237361%2Ffour-leaf-clover-neon-sign-neon-wall&psig=AOvVaw2rGTX9bSY_rJarTzhlHuhN&ust=1647609487300000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAwQjhxqFwoTCPjYxOOdzfYCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE

Theme: St. Patrick’s Day

Description: I found this really cool neon four leaf clover on Etsy. The way the cooler green and warmer gold bounce off of the wall and photos was really interesting. This is a very literal interpretation of a “St. Patrick’s Day Photo,” but I thought that it was a really awesome way of bringing light to an art piece.

Photo Observation

Posted on March 17, 2022 by previousstudent

  1. I found this picture on google
  2. Saint Patrick’s Day
  3. I chose this picture because of the green light coming from behind the person. I like how the lights from behind the bars illuminates them and gives them a green appearance despite the fact that they are not green. I also like how the bars are the focus of the picture while the hallway is dimly lit by a green light, and the person is just a silhouette.

Photo Observation – Saint Patrick’s Day

Posted on March 17, 2022 by previousstudent

  1. ATTRIBUTES: depositphotos.com
  2. THEME: Saint Patrick’s Day
  3. DESCRIPTION: Inside  an Irish pub, focus on the green lights. I like the atmosphere, and the green, of course reminds me of Saint Patricks day. I like how the light of the bottle case pop up in the background, despite being blurry. If looking at this out of context, because of the lighting and atmosphere, I would assume it is Saint Patrick’s Day.

Lighting Observation #6

Posted on March 17, 2022 by previousstudent

Date/Time/Location: March 17 at 12:15 am in my dorm

Objective Description: My desk lamp shining on my desk (particularly on a packaged Hot & Spicy bowl of ramen)

Subjective Description: The desk lamp shines on my ramen bowl specifically. There are other things it hits, of course–a few papers, my mask, a water bottle–but the Hot & Spicy ramen is particularly in focus. The light of the lamp is ever so slightly warmer than my ceiling light, so I much prefer it even though it is darker. The ambience it gives the room is very cozy and warm. A sort of softness the ceiling light is unable to provide. It feels like the kind of light you could curl up in a blanket with a loved one under and watch a really crappy tv show. But in this case, it seems more to be putting a strange amount of emphasis on my uneaten bowl of ramen than to be making my room super nice and cozy. It’s really bright on the packaging, drawing my attention further towards the bright, almost garish colors on the ramen rather than helping me relax into the warmth the lack of bright light provides the room
