When: Tues Night
Where: My apartment
Objective: I was doing some photography for class and taking pictures of a friend of mine dancing. He was lit from a single light behind him and a dim light from the room adjacent.
Subjective: The shadows that he created when he was dancing would seem to extend the length of his legs so it looked as if he was almost floating. It also accentuated his movements.
Where: Brower
When: Monday Night
Objective: The light was shining in through the blinds of the window behind me onto the back of the person sitting in front of me. There was a tree outside the window that was blowing in the wind and changing the light coming into the room
Subjective: Only slight flickers of blurred light were able to get through the trees and the blinds. These were flashing all over as the wind moved the trees outside, creating an almost lightning bug affect. This would also trick my eyes into thinking there were things moving when it was merely the light.
To me there is nothing more powerful than mother earth, and the wave in this is a good symbol of her power. The light brings your attention to each wave and ripple and then forms a powerful circle of light.

THEME: Power
DESCRIPTION: The strong backlight against this subject makes it seem to eminate power, as well as give it an ominous feel. The color scheme also adds to this, because the lack of color diversity seems to make the dark subject more imposing in the photo.
1) March 23rd, 7:48, NAB
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Behind the curtain of the NAB, there is very little lighting, it is very dim. There is a rack where the seats are usually hung when they are not in use up against a wall. The bars on the second layer of this are casting a very interesting shadow against the wall. Although the bars are all parallel, they have created a criss-cross patterned shadow.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: What is interesting about this light is that it looks like this shadow should be impossible. The shadow is lying’ based off of this shadow alone, the rack should have some crossed bars on top, but when looking at the rack, it is apparent that this is not so. The shadow created by the light is lying about the object who casts it.
4) ASSIGN CATEGORY & TAGS: Category should be “Lighting Observation”. Include your first name as at least one tag, other optional tags can be added to describe the post.

Theme: Power
When I think of something powerful, I think of mountains. I found this picture of a mountain casting a shadow because it expresses the grandness and solidity that is a mountain. I liked that you could see other mountains and valleys in the distance bathed in light and then the strong triangle of shadow that is the giant mountain. The shadow looks so rough and imposing in contrast to the soft yellow light on the horizon.

THEME: POWER
This is a very powerful picture. The lighting creates a very rigid and powerful silhouette. The shape of Castro can is made of sharp lines, and he is obviously in this picture a person who is in control, and who holds power. The light is dark on both sides of him, so that his face is defined by little more than a thin beam of white light splitting the black, but instead of this making him look frail, it emphasizes how solid he is, and how thick the air around him is.
Location/ Time: Residential side of campus, 3:30pm
Objective Description: The clear, blue sky.
Subjective Description: The sky was clear and blue for the first time in days and it looked perfect and pure. The light from the sun was incredibly bright and made everything look beautiful and colorful. The sky looked fresh and life-giving, and made it pleasant to be outside.
Where/ When: Mineola Train Station, 7pm
Objective Description: Streetlight in the rain.
Subjective Description: The lamp created a soft orange glow that was reflected off of the falling rain. The light looked like a beacon of peace in a chaotic world with wind, rain, and rushing trains. The light gave a certain warmth to the air surrounding it, which contrasted the cold, greyness that enveloped the rest of the train platform.

2.) Power
3.) First of all, not much can top the sheer power of a nuclear explosion, and this is the Tsar Nuclear explosion which was apparently the most powerful device ever detonated. It was really interesting going onto this site because a video of this explosion automatically plays, and the force of destruction of this thing is absolutely insane! But all that aside, the light from the explosion is so powerful, the blinding mushroom cloud is pretty incredible and the arrays of reds and oranges and shocking yellowish white is so powerful it just jumps off the page!
