Light Observation

Posted on February 10, 2022 by previousstudent
  1. DATE / TIME / LOCATION: February 10, 2022, 10:06 pm, from my dorm in Constitution
  2. OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: A jar of fairy lights sitting on the top portion of my desk. The brightest source of light in my room
  3. SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light from the jar is very dull, but it gives the whole room a warmer, cozier feel. The gentle, yellowish light emanating from the jar and the tiny size of each light makes it seem like I’ve somehow trapped a multitude of tiny fairies. The light actually escaping the container is somewhat distorted by the imperfections of the jar, making the projected light on the wall misshapen and strange to look at

Light Observation

Posted on February 10, 2022 by previousstudent
  1. Date / Time / Location: February 5th, 4:11 pm, my bedroom in Hempstead
  2. Objective Description: My bedroom in the attic is small and narrow, but there is one medium-sized window in the corner of the room facing the sunlight. As the sun is setting, it shines a warm glow onto the side of the room and onto one of the walls. It’s warm-toned color displays a stark contrast to the cool-toned gray paint on the walls.
  3. Subjective Description: Typically, my bedroom is my office where I get work done, my dining room where I eat my meals, and my studio where I dance. However, I had a moment to relax on my bed this past weekend and seeing this light made my space feel like a peaceful, comforting bedroom once again. The warmth of the setting sun provided not just brightness, but a sense of ease and contentment. Since it has been cold and foggy the past month, this glimmer of light gave me great joy.

Lighting Observation

Posted on February 10, 2022 by previousstudent

DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 02/09/2022 – 8:48pm – Living Room

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The string of moon and star lights that go around the bedroom door of my suitemate. This is the only lighting in the room, not even light from a window.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The distance between the moons creates a widespread of warm and strong light, yet it isn’t overwhelmingly strong. The lights create a warm and calming emotion within the gaze of anyone looking. They shine just enough to make a once-pitch black ominous room serene. Such streams of light create an effect that makes everyone who sees them stop and stare for a second and can’t help but comment on their beauty.

Sunset Picture

Posted on February 10, 2022 by previousstudent

My grandma always told me there is nothing more beautiful than a Kansas sunset. Way out in the middle of nowhere there are no intrusive buildings, trees, or really much more than a hill. This allows the light to completely flood the area surrounding you. The picture may not do this occurrence justice because in reality the orange glow seeps into everything.

Sunset Post

Posted on February 10, 2022 by previousstudent

Date: November 19, 2020
Time: 4:40pm
Location: Area between constitution and graduate housing
Theme: Sunset
Description: The texture of the clouds reflects the color of the sun creating a multicolor effect with each ridge holding on to a different color. You can tell where the sun is because the peach color is on one side of the ridges and the blue-gray is on the other. There’s a gradient of color that changes from a pale yellow to a purple/peach as the light travels away from the sun. The dark tree cuts across the colorful sky creating a deep contrast and the vibrant colors of the sun are contrasted against the dark green of the grass below and reflected off the windows on the building.

  1. Attributes: This photo was taken by Michael Fletcher in Laguna Beach, California during the first few days of winter.
  2. Theme: sunrise / sunset
  3. Summary: A faint beam of yellow peaks out in the distance from behind a cliff. The yellow is most vibrant behind the cliff and fades slightly as it extends further above the ocean. Multiple peachy and blue colors cloud the sky as the sun rises. I love this photo because you cannot see the sun, but you can recognize its affect on the color of the clouds surrounding it.

Light Observation

Posted on February 9, 2022 by previousstudent

Date/Time/Location: Feb 9th, 5:11pm, Target parking lot

Objective description: The sun is low in the sky. There are thin lines of clouds in the light blue sky above a thin yellow-orange line. There are silhouettes of tree branches behind a large pile of leftover snow and geese grazing on the grass.

Subjective description: The colors illuminating the short remainder of the day time are the perfect balance of warm and cool tones. They reflected off of the greens and blues on the geese’s feathers and the snow reflected the colors back like mirror of the sky above. I don’t usually pay much attention to the birds on the side of the roads near school, but something about the lighting drew me to appreciate their presence.

2. Rosarito, Mexico

3. Sunrise/Sunset

4. The sun is setting over the ocean and creating  path of light leading directly to the shoreline. It’s light is projecting far into the sky in a circular pattern despite sinking further and further out of sight. There is a green orb in the corner and only a faint cloud illuminated by the remaining rays. The photo seems warm despite it having been very cold.

  4. THEME: Sunrise
  5. The sun is setting above the freshly fallen snow and below the clear blue sky, creating a cascaded horizon above the tree line. With the bright yellow illuminating center of the sun acting as the eye of the sky looking down on the Long Island winter scene before it hides behind the bend of the earth.

2) I took this photo on February 4, 2021 at 7:22 a.m. while driving to school in Atlanta, Georgia. I saw the sunrise in my rearview mirror and got out of my car to capture its beauty.

3) THEME: SUNRISE/SUNSET

4) DESCRIPTION: This photo depicts the epitome of a winter sunrise in Atlanta: a mix of bright, warm colors washing away the cool tones of night. The clouds glow coral orange from the sun shining as it rises from beneath the skyline of houses. I think this photo is especially interesting lighting-wise because of the street lamp’s radiating glow; this displays the true earliness of the morning, as the remnants of darkness have not completely faded away. The way the clouds fan out from the sun reminds me of physical sun rays, almost reaching out to spread its light. It feels hopeful; like taking the first sip of coffee, feeling the softness of the rug next to my bed on my feet, and picking up my bags as I get ready for the coming day.
