“Vibrant, Colorful, Saturated” Photo Observation

1)

2) Kids Blog

3) THEME: Vibrant, Colorful, Saturated

4) DESCRIPTION: Nearly all of the colorfulness and vibrantness  is radiating directly from the main light source which is various glow sticks. The photo is time elapsed which allows for the streaking and fluidity of the photo. The reason I choose this photo is because the colors immediately stick out to you and draws you in. Which I feel vibrant, colorful, and or saturated light should do.

Photo Observation, Vibrant, Colorful, Saturated

3) Vibrant Colorful Saturated

4) This is one of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. It is simply filled with rich colors. The light is radiating through the tree bringing out so many reds, oranges, and yellows. The colors appear full of life somehow and are so vivid. In contrast to the tree, there are beautiful tones of green on the right side of the picture. Again, they seem full of life and are dripping with color. Even the pond has taken on a green reflection adding to the prevalent green. Wherever this place is, I want to be there. It seems so peaceful and serene, yet is full of breathtaking life and beauty. The photo creates a happy, warm feeling coupled with the calm of a garden or shrine.

3. THEME: Vibrant, Colorful, Saturated

4. I’ve always been fascinated aurora borealises, I think it’s crazy that such a beautiful phenomenon can just exist in the natural world! The neon greens, blues, purples and pinks look as though they would be better suited to a street in downtown Tokyo than in the flat lands of Iowa! I’ve never been witness to so beautiful an event, but truthfully I would probably withstand a trip to Iowa- or another equally wretched state- in order to see one! Seeing these colors in nature, I start to think about why neon colors are so popular for different things; these colors at first remind me of early teenagers, then the eighties, then a big Eastern/ Oriental city- like Tokyo or Hong Kong. Yet, long before dyes or neon lights and glow sticks were even conceived of, the earth’s magnetic fields have been trapping gases and whatnot to produce this stunning and vibrant display.

2nd lighting observation

1) Feb. 12th – 2:50 p.m – on the LIRR back to Mineola: I was riding the train back from city class on Saturday when I had my lighting “moment.”

2) I was riding on the LIRR from Penn. station to Mineola on Saturday afternoon when I was looking at the sky and noticing the sun and the clouds. The sun was shinning down through the clouds with “sharp” rays of light.

3) On Saturday afternoon I was riding on the train to Mineola and I had a backwards window seat. I was staring out the window for sometime until I realized the sky. We were about to pull into Jamaica station when I looked up and noticed how bright the sun was on a somewhat cloudy day. The clouds were gray and heavy and the big bright ball of light was shining over us. The rays peeked through in only some areas of the clouds letting rays of sunshine down on us. There were several of these rays of light and you could see almost completely around them. Like they were just these beams that were shooting down on the world. All I could think of was they were like rays that would beam you up to heaven if you were standing in their path. It was a comforting feeling though and for a day that wasn’t overall very bright it was a moment of light and peacefulness. Once we pulled into Jamaica I was blocked from the sky until we pulled away and like the sky does it seems to constantly change and when we came through on the other side it had changed completely. But for that moment I felt comforted by what I had seen and thought of loved ones that have passed before me.

Light Observation

1) Southern state parkway
2) Wednesday at noon
3) The relection off the of the guys made it impossible. The sun was strong as ever in the reflection. It made me feel rage because I was incapable of stopping its power.

bright,vibrant,saturated pic

1)

2) Came from google images of a digital photography contest.

3) I really liked the bright, vibrant colors of this cityscape. I really love to look at city skylines and with all the bright colors of this one it just immediately jumped out at me. I love how bright and alive the place looks and how you can see individual blocks of color/light pop out of the high buildings. I also really liked how the water reflects the colors on the water and striking each color and line is, everything is very defined and precise looking. Each color stands out and grabs your attention. On the side of the picture you can see what seems to be a restaurant/ bar area that just radiates onto the water line. The colors are so bright, and saturated its as bright as day in this city.

1st lighting observation

1) Feb. 11th – 11:42 a.m – Suffolk Hall, lounge area: I was in the lounge area on the 3rd floor of Suffolk Hall when I had my lighting “moment.”

2) The light that came in the window from the mid morning sun. The windows have been decorated with paint and the shadow of the letters was readable on the floor below the window.

3) As I was doing some reading for class on Friday in the lounge area on the 3rd floor of Suffolk hall I noticed that the painted letters on the decorated window were being cast onto the floor by the sunlight that shone in from the middle window facing out onto campus. The sun was very bright in the mid morning of the day and I didn’t need to turn a light on to read. Each floor has a suite that was converted into a lounge this year and our lounge has a balloon theme specifically from the movie “UP.” We were also able to write on the windows with paint and on one of the windows it reads,”How about that 3rd floor.” The sun was shinning so brightly into the lounge that morning that the letters from the window were cast onto the floor in front of me when I walked into the room. The shadow of the letters were very defined because of the strength of the sun and I thought it looked really cool to have the letters cast on the floor. The whole room was lit from just the one source and anything that got in its way, such as the painted letters cast this nice defined shadow.

Beja Photo Observation

What, Where: Outside my bedroom, toward sunrise.

Theme: Sun

Description: in the morning the sun does a magical thing. The suns light is barely shining, this light is however casting up toward the blue sky. This in turn is casting a blue shadow at the top of the snow and houses. The sun is also casting brightly toward the sky. This layered sky goes from blue to white to orange. The background sky has a glowing quality and makes me feel cheerful. To complete the picture there is the silhouette of the trees and tops of the houses. This scale like effect feels like they are trying to break through past the sun.

Light Observation 2 B

1.) 2/11/11- 7:00 am ish- My living room

2.) Amber sunlight streaming through the window onto a painting

3.) Half asleep I stumble upon a sun beam streaming through my living room window, a happy amber alighting petals of silk sunflowers and concentrating on a poetically tragic funeral painting. The usual gray, blue oil paints come alive in the amber sun, the bitter, perpetual chill of snow and sorrow melt away as the warmth and comfort snuggly wrap them in its radiating arms. Meanwhile the artificial light of news tells stories of coldness and tragedy, playing on a loop just shy of the sun’s warmth.
