Photo Observation #11

July 2023(?), Photo Taken by me

Theme: Summer

For me this is summer in a nutshell. Being at home, wandering around Philly, navigating through all the crowds of tourists….Peak summer. There’s never any shade in the city around lunch time. the sun just beats down on your head, and makes it feel like it’s 200 degrees out. The sun reflecting off of the buildings’ windows around this time in the summer is so blinding, but it adds to the experience.

Photo Observation #11

  1. Summer
  2.  This image was taken a very long time ago by my parents when they took me and my two sisters on a cruise. When I think of summer I think of finally having the time to see my sisters and the rest of my family. I also really loved the light in this picture. It was getting later in the day but the sky was still bright as ever. While I know that me and my sisters were anything but, this picture is peaceful. The bright yellow sun casts its reflection off of the water making its blue more vibrant in some places, but also painting it a creamy white where it directly shines off of it. The sun is not overly bright but more of an ambient light of the evening.

Photo Taken by: my mom circa 2012

Photo Observation #11

  1. Summer
  2. This photo is of the festival by Hofstra that happened last summer over the Fourth of July. To me, its bright lights juxtaposed on a dark sky perfectly encapsulates a summer night. I love that you can almost hear the sounds of a carnival through the photo. I took this from a hill a bit away from the carnival at night, so the only light in the photo is from the carnival. I like how intense the light is, almost making the colors white light in the photo because they as so bright in real life. I also felt the juxtaposition, specifically of the ferris wheel in comparison to the darkness of the trees and night sky is really intriguing and emphasizes that freeness and joy associated with summer.

Photo Observation

I took this photo at my friends house last summer

Theme: Summer

Ever summer my best friend and his family go on vacation to Maine for a week, and I have become their de facto cat sitter. This is Ralph, he’s four years old, very sweet, and very food motivated, he likes me because I feed him. While most of this picture is in a shadow, the lighting on Ralph felt very warm, helped by the fact that his orange fur contributes to the warmness of the picture. Any cat in a sunbeam makes the lighting feel comfortable and warm as well, which is what summer is to me

Photo Observation #11

I took this image around four years ago on a cruise.

Theme: Summer

I took this photo about four years ago when we were on a cruise. The image is very yellow being below the lifeboat and the stain on the deck really help to emphasize the warmth of the day. The light is coming from the sun off the deck. The sun casts a shadow of the deck chair and railings. Though bright this image feels very calm and relaxing in its simplicity.

3)When I think of summer the first thing that comes to mind is sunsets. The days are finally longer, and the sun doesn’t set at 5pm anymore. One of my favorite things is getting to watch the sunset after a day sitting poolside. I’m not one that enjoys the beach so I typically don’t enjoy going, however I will go to watch the sunset because I think that is where you get the best view, and the way the different colors light up the sky as the sun sets. As much as I don’t like the beach, when I think of summer I also think of the ocean, the waves, the sound of them crashing against the shore. Seashells found in the water as the waves pull back, quickly trying to see what you can find.

Theme: Summer

During the summers, we are usually always out at the country house that we own in Sweden. My birthday is in the summer, and as a child, we used to go sailing in Italy for my birthday. However, after an inchident, we stopped going every year, so ever since then, we’ve gone out to our country house in Sweden

Lighting Observation #12

  1. April 27, 2025; 2:19am; C-square
  2. The street lamp next to a bloomed tree
  3. After walking to Hofusa and eating, I found some friends and decided to go to C-Square with them. When we got into C-Square and were walking to my friend’s dorm. While walking, we saw this really pretty tree that was nicely lit.  The white gel that was from the streetlamp was lighting up the white pedals on the tree. It felt warm outside but the wind blowing through the tree was making it feel colder. One of the dorming houses was as lit up with a warmer gel. There was sound of my friend laughing and causing mayhem at 2am.

Photo Observation #10

  1. My photo during my dog Tink
  2. Summer
  3. Summer to me means warmth, happiness, and sun. Last summer while I was home in Maryland, I saw my dog looking off of our patio to watch me coming home. She had been outside waiting for about 2 hours so she felt really warm. The sun was starting its setting phase making the sun shine right into her eyes. The deck was covering her face just enough where half of her face is lit wile the other is darker. She also reminds me of peace and happiness (which also reminds me of summer). I can’t wait to see her in the next few weeks.

Photo Observation #11

1.) a photo my friend took of me on Lake Winnipesaukee last summer

2.) Summer

3.) The photo is overall pretty brightly lit. It feels light and quite vibrant, which are words that also come to mind when describing summer. The light from the bright blue sky also reflects off of the water, making the photo feel even lighter. The light shining on my hair and shoulders is also very, very warm, giving the image that sunset golden hour feel which is unique to summer. This vibrant warmth in the forefront of the photo, mixed with the bright and clear, light blue sky and water in the background gives this photo a very specific summer vibe.
