2) Objective: walking back from the student center parking lot to Nassau Suffolk and looking at the Soccer Fields bright lights.

Party Photo

From denim and diamond girls website. A Kansas City Escort Girl site. This is an example of an event you’d take a girl to apparently
3)Party
4) Instead of going for a out of control type of college party with binge drinking and orgies, I decided to take a classier approach. I wanted to pick a type of ball or gala party, something luxurious and decadent. This party seems like its only for the richest of the rich and the lights provide a soothing yet sensual backdrop to this fancy event. The candles are soft and inviting and the blue and purple on the drapes are lovely.
Lighting Observation 2 (week 11)
1) Wednesday, 9PM walking outside Hofstra Hall
2) Soccer stadium lights diffused in the sky
3) I was walking back from work around 9, when it should have been dark out when I noticed I could see quite easily. I looked at the sky and the fog and mist was all reflecting the bright white lights from the soccer stadium. This created a soft whiteish purplish glow across the whole sky and was in actuality a very good light source. The strange white light of the sky created a strange surreal feeling as the night was illuminated. It was similar to the color of light you get when lighting strikes and everything is bright, but this light was constant and a little softer.
Light Observation
LOCATION-DATE: Home Block, 12am. May 9
OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION:Street Light was off
SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I came home and two street lights were off surrounding one in the middle. This gave a creepy, yet cool effect. Lighting only one area, which reminding me of those old detective movies. As I walked by I thought of wearing a long trench coat and a fedora, chain smoking a pack of cigarettes under the one light, as I wait for my contact.But anyway… It was cool.

Lighting Observation 1 (Week 11)
1) Sunday 11PM, Driving back to campus from my friend’s apartment
2)Light from the Marriott Hotel
3) It was a dark and stormy night. Ok, not really stormy but there was a lot of fog and a light mist coming down and it was cold and dark. As we were driving back, I saw the Marriott Hotel’s distinctive red sign in the distance. Instead of looking inviting and warm, the fog shrouded it and it took on a very ominous look as if it were in a horror movie. The bright red was a diffused crimson against the dark sky. Lights were also coming from below as they illuminated the base of the building and shot cones of foggy light upward adding to the unnatural feeling. It was quite creepy.

3)This actually is pretty awesome. The lighting insinuates a party because there are so many different lights, making the scene look busy without there actually being any people there. I like how the rarity of blue draws you into the center of the photo. Also I love how there is that area of shadow in the corner of the page, which has many possibilities in terms of actor blocking. This picture just makes me feel lively, as the trees are lit up in red and blue, but there are some white light lamps inside the tents. The pattern of shadow created is very cool effect.

Photo Observation #10

PARTY!
This looks like a party to me. I really like the way the white light seems very warm, highlighting the color of the champagne, and how it is dispersed by the fizz. It emphasizes the droplets, which makes the photo feel more fun. It feels explosive (in a good way) and vibrant, but simple.
