Lighting Observation 5

Posted on March 13, 2025 by previousstudent

Taken by me in Westborough MA

Theme: Spring

It was mid-april and the first really nice day of spring, so my family went to our favorite ice cream stand to celebrate. They have a pasture for cows by the parking lot, and I noticed that one of the cows had a heart on it’s head. The grass is especially green and the sky in the background is very picturesque, very blue with lots of white clouds. The grass gets more yellow in the background and is almost like a gradient, which contrasts nicely with the dark green trees in the background.

Photo Observation #5

Posted on March 12, 2025 by previousstudent

Found on Google from Kungsträdgården  (King’s tree farm)

2. Theme: Spring

When the words spring come up I get brought back to the light of the day in Sweden. Coming from a winter when we rarely have any direct contact with the sunlight, spring coming back is a blessing. I do have a cherry blossom tree of my own in our yard, however I couldn’t find a picture of it. The reason I think cherry blossom trees represent spring is because of the fact that they only bloom through the spring before falling again right after. I love how this generally represent the lighting that we get in the swedish spring (in like april) because it’s neutral, it’s not cold, nor is it a warmer sunlight

Light Observation #6

Posted on March 12, 2025 by previousstudent
  1. March 12th, 2025 at 7:18pm – on my deck outside my house
  2. I am outside looking at the solar powered string lights lined across my deck.
  3. On my deck, the string lights cast a soft, inviting glow that wraps the space in warmth. The bright white center of each bulb catches my eye, but it’s the soft, golden halo around it that feels comforting. It’s almost like the lights are breathing heat into the cold night; This warmth shines onto the remaining plants from last year, patiently waiting for spring to return.

Lighting Observation #6

Posted on March 12, 2025 by previousstudent

1.) March 11 – 8:43 pm – Adam’s Playhouse

2.) When moving the mission on stage in the middle of Guys and Dolls, a red sidelight shines across the cross on the interior wall.

3.) At first, the cross starts off dark. Then, slowly, a red splotch of light creeps up from the bottom right corner of the wall. It makes its way up, until the cross is fully illuminated in a deep red wash. It feels like a warning, quietly creeping up on you and before sounding the alarm. The meaning of this ominous image is unclear, but it is certainly not good. Then, the light continues on, and the cross returns to its original yellow color, as if nothing had happened. While in reality, this was caused by the mission moving across the stage lights, every time we do that transition I think about how that could be a great shot, right before the climax of a horror movie.

1) Photo found online

2)Theme: Spring

3)This photo reminded me of spring because when I think of spring I think of things like the cherry blossoms, and flowers. The way that the sun is sitting in the back of the photo just out of focus. The sunlight bleeds through in the background putting extra emphasis on the cherry blossoms. The background of the photo really makes the flowers pop in a unique way, that combined with the amber lighting hitting the flowers just right, brings the whole photo together and I think it is very visually pleasing.

Photo Observation #5

Posted on March 12, 2025 by previousstudent

Taken by me in Indianapolis, Indiana, 2024

Theme: Spring

Although I took this picture in early July, it was the first break that I had had all year at that point. It was an extremely warm day and surprisingly humid. The sun was beating straight down, and although there were clouds, the clouds cast no shadows on the ground, making it seem as if it were a completely clear day. The shadow cast by the tree in the back makes it feel as if there is some kind of cool safe haven just up ahead, but in reality, it was actually hotter under the trees. If I am remembering correctly, it was actually very cold earlier that day, and when we made it to the park, it was actually a little bit hot, thanks to the bright sun. With how bright the sun is, it makes this picture look almost artificial, like an old Windows 95 desktop wallpaper.

  1. Taken by me in Hempstead, NY
  2. Spring
  3. This image shows a cluster of pink flowers, green leaves, and wooden branches against a clear blue sky. This resembles spring to me for a few reasons. First, the blooming flowers are a clear indication of the time of year and the weather, and pastel colors like spring are often closely associate with springtime. In addition, the color of the sky and the sparse shadows on the flowers make the temperature of the photo appear cool in a way, like spring weather often is. It is not blindingly hot and sunny, but instead a mild temperature.

2.) A photo my friend took of some flowers in Chautauqua, NY.

3.) Spring

4.) This photo is very brightly lit, making the bright colors on the flowers in the foreground of the image really pop. The full wash of light that is neither too cold nor too warm creates a vibrant feeling of new life that is typically associated with spring. In the top left corner of the image, it looks slightly faded, as the sunlight is coming from that direction. This mutes the background slightly, again bringing attention to the flowers in the front. The fact that it is coming from the top left corner also indicates that the sun hasn’t full risen yet. While this indicates the time of day more than the season, spring is often associated with growth and new beginnings, so early morning light makes sense to connect with spring, whereas if the sun was straight overhead the photo might feel more summery.

Photo Observation 5 – Spring

Posted on March 10, 2025 by previousstudent

  1. Found this photo online
  2. Theme: Spring
  3. This photo reminded me of spring because of the cherry trees backlit by the warm glow of the setting sun. The amber light covers the entire photo – its color washes over the bark and flowers and casts shadows across the green grass. The light blue sky and vibrant green grass enhances the clarity of the individual white flowers on the trees, bringing this idea of “spring” to life.
