2)  http://www.astrosurf.com/luxorion/qsl-lightning-protection.htm (I found this photo on google images and this is the website it originally came from)

3)  Power

4)  I picked this picture because when I think of power in terms of lighting I think of lightning.  Lightning produces a very powerful light,  not only is it bright but it is full of energy.  I think the light that lightning produces is one the brightest kinds of light and it is like no other light.  The light produced from lightning is powerful enough to light up the whole sky for that split second.  There is a mysterious component to the light that lightning makes.  I think it comes from the fact that there is so much potential and build up that it is a light that may be short but it is very intense for that split second.  It is impressive to think about the amount of light that lightning is really producing.  Thinking about theatre a very powerful image for storms is flashes of light to represent the lightning.  Even though it it may create a strobe effect usually to create an effect like that you would flash lights on and off from full power to zero.  These bright powerful flashes are what help represent the intense storm.

Light Observation Devin Gee

Posted on March 22, 2011 by previousstudent

1)   3/22/11- about 1:30 am- walking between the student center and enterprise hall.

2)   The night was foggy and the street lamps were on.  They shined into the sky and lit up and area larger than normal.

3)   This moment was interesting because the fog allowed you to visually see the direction the light travels in.  Usually when you see a streetlight on a clear night for the most part all you see lit up is the ground and area underneath the light.  In this particular moment you could see the sky lit up above the street light and there was a sort of orb of light all around the street lamp.  This light was very spooky and was both white and yellow because of the different street lamps.  The light as it shined though the fog was very ominous and something you would expect to see in a haunted house during Halloween.  Though the yellow light was vaguely similar to an early sunrise, the spooky feel to it mostly overpowered that similarity.  This lighting seemed very dramatic to me just because we use this kind of lighting in theatre a lot and with the hazer like in War of the Roses it resembled the fog and everything perfectly.

1)   3/21/11- about 11pm- 10th floor of the library

2)   A fluorescent light shining down upon the brown carpet on the tenth floor of the library.

3)   This moment was interesting because the light that came from the fluorescent bulbs appeared white but made the carpet green.  The carpet is originally brown and everywhere where there isn’t light shining down it is easy to tell that the true color of the carpet is brown.  I think this lighting moment is significant because it was the first time I noticed light making some kind of material a different color.  I then immediately thought, what if the carpet were a costume?  It showed me that you have to be careful when choosing lights and costume fabrics because sometimes they wont mix well and your fabric will turn an ugly color you don’t want.  Lastly it made me think about fluorescent lighting and it led me to think that this is why we don’t use fluorescent lighting in theatre.  It also led me think that you could use this effect intentionally and through lighting make a costume or some thing look really terrible.

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 3/18/2011

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: It is morning. Light is coming through the windows of the classroom and the panes of glass are sharply divided against the white walls of the room.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The brightness of the light makes the classroom feel welcoming and interesting. Though the walls are merely white, the yellow light coming through the windows seems to tint everything a light gold color.

Photo Observation: Sad

Posted on March 18, 2011 by previousstudent

fluorescent on girl

Source:  http://grinandwearit.tumblr.com/

Theme:  Sad

Description:  This photo gave me the impression of sad light because of the bright, cold fluorescent light that is hanging over the girl.  You can only see the girl’s back side and her head is down so she also looks sad.  The entire photo has a blue, unhappy quality to it.

Lighting Observation 1, Week 7

Posted on March 18, 2011 by previousstudent

When/ Where:  New York City, 2:00pm

Objective Description:  Sun shining on building.

Subjective Description:  The sun was peaking out from behind the building on the left and shining brightly on the building on the right.  It made the buildings look powerful and extra tall.  It gave me the feeling that something was watching me from above in a strong and stern way.

2)Theme: Sad

3) This instantly gives off a negative vibe. It makes me feel melancholy because of the darkness surrounding the person in the picture. There is obviously light coming from another room trying to brighten the mood, but is ineffective. Not only has the person choose to be in dark room, but they are on the edge of the wall, ever so close to the light, but not close enough to feel its effect. So you get the feeling there is no hope. Everything in this picture suggests some series of unfortunate events.

1) My basement: 9:38 pm, 3-16-11

2) part of my basement was lit and the tv was glowing through the other half of the room.

3) It looked as if there was some moment of jealousy between lights. The lights that were on only light up a small area, as the TV shone. There was just something sad about the combination of light. It wasn’t enough to change my mood , but not subtle enough to go unnoticed.
