Lighting Observation 2- Week 12

When/ where:  Outside of Cafe on the Quad, 12pm

Objective Description:  Shadow of branches.

Subjective Description:  The branches from the tree above me cast a shadow on the table I was sitting at.  It made the stone table look very jumbled and complex looking because of the opposing patterns.  It looked busy and hectic.

Photo Observation: Large

Source:  http://homeimprovement.resourcesforattorneys.com/comments.php?y=08&m=06&entry=entry080624-215618

Theme:  Large

The way this bathroom is lit and colored makes it look bigger and more spacious than it actually is.  The light from above makes the ceiling seem higher when the light also is reflected off of the white tile floor.  The fixtures in the room are fairly small which also helps the room look larger.  The way the light reflects off the curved edge of the bath tub makes the tub look longer than it is as well.

Photo Observation 12 ish

1.)Image taken from  http://fransxavegatra.blogspot.com/2010/12/history-made-eiffel-tower.html

2.) Large

3.) I really liked this image of the Eiffel Tower because the light doesn’t accentuate the size of the tower, but instead minimized it. Instead, the size of the fountains is emphasized and made to look much larger than ther are@ In fact, they look almost as big as the tower itself! I looked this and though it beautiful and interesting!

Lighting Observation- Week 12

When/Where:  Mineola Train Station, 11pm Monday

Objective Description:  Street light in the fog.

Subjective Description:  The street light made the fog surrounding it an eerie orange color.  The lamp made me feel mournful and sad.  It looked like it belonged in a depressing music video.

Light Observation 12 B

1.) 5 pm 4/15/11 Trinity Church

2.) Sun breaking through clouds on the side of Trinity Church

3.) Coming out of the subway station on Wall Street I always notice how exquisitely beautiful the garden/grass area of Trinity church is, especially lately as it’s been raining so much. On this day it was especially gray, growse and cloudy but I noticed a small  ray of golden sun shining down on the side of the church. In contrast to the grey light all around from the clouds and nasty weather, it was especially beautiful! It was holy, angelic, pure beauty to behold.

Large Photo Observation

1)

2) http://universe-beauty.com/albums/hubble/shadow-opportunity-big.jpg

I think this is just a site that has nice space wallpapers. High performance photo gallery.

3) Large Photo

4) This photo appears to be from a rover of some sort-on mars or the moon or something, I’m not sure. For one, the shadow makes the rover look huge, I think it looks like the shadow of a massive robot on the landscape. Then the strange way the light strikes the mountain range in the back makes you unsure how big they are. The perspective and odd shadows of the photo could be shifting them to look massive when in reality they could be small. The whole photo appears to have a strange distorted size feature about it.

 

Opposite to large is this cool photo style, called tilt shift

Light Observation 12 ish A

1.) 11pm ish 4/28/11 BQE near Brooklyn Bridge

2.) Car taillights in front of me while I was driving

3.) DRiving home from Brooklyn tonight I was crawling through road construction and found myself behind a car with angry/ evil taillights! It was hilarious as the shape of the lights dipped down to look like someone with furrowed/angry eyebrows! And then every time they would brake, the lights flashed up a bright glowing red, like a demon’s eyes out to get me in the night! It was really funny, and kinda creepy… Especially funny since the other person in the car thought they looked like a happy face!

Light Observation 12B

DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 4/25/11; 5:50PM; Liberty/Republic parking lot

OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: daylight through fog

SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light appeared to be a dim grayish white through the fog.  The fog created a depressing feeling because it diminished the normally warmer color of the light to a dreary grey color.  The fog engulfed the towers and created a different (slightly brighter) color on the lower portion of the towers.  It was as though the day light had a “frost filter” in it.
