Light Observation #6

Posted on March 14, 2025 by previousstudent

1)    March 14, 2025, a movie theater in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

2)    The low lights inside the movie theater before the movie started

3)    The movie theater was completely empty; it was 15 minutes before the movie started. The lights were already low, as if the movie had already started, but the projector had not started projecting anything yet. The lights gave off a soft, warm, yellowish, orange light that made the relatively large theater feel cozy and comforting. The lights were spaced evenly through the theater along the walls, so almost every inch of the theater was covered in the soft light, except low down on the floor, where the light did not reach.

Online photo, May 3, 2024, 3:24 pm

Theme: spring

The blue of the sky juxtaposes with the purple and orange sky. As it sets, the sun’s orange and pink hues reflect off the clouds. It creates shadows and definition to an otherwise one notes sky. The darkest part of the picture is in the very center, as the blue of the ocean matches the dark underside of the clouds. As the horizon expands closer to you, it gets lighter and lighter. You can here the seagulls calling. There is a slight breeze as you stare at the horse, your best friend. The fur matches the sand of the beach, the perfect place to spend a spring day.

Lighting Observation #6

Posted on March 13, 2025 by previousstudent
  1. Wednesday March 12, 10:30 PM, Hotel Room in Smithfield RI
  2. Street lights come into the window of the dark room.
  3. Shadow envelops me after a long day of travel and dancing leaving me weary. The room shrouded in darkness is only invaded by a slight cool white light filtering through the shade on the window. The eery glow from the the outside world seems to tempt me even after my taxing day. Opposite of the warm light of the sun, this light mimicked its faint reflection off of the moon.  The light is a temptation pulling me away from the sleep I so desperately need.

Lighting Observation #6

Posted on March 13, 2025 by previousstudent
  1. Wednesday, March 12th, 6:45pm. Outside the Student Center
  2. The sun setting without any obstruction
  3. As I walked outside, I noticed the deep orange glow that encapsulated the cement beneath me. It was “golden hour,” or the time of day when the sun casts a warm blanket of light across anything and everything it touches. Looking up, I was shocked to see a perfectly round ball of fiery orange-red hanging low in the sky. It was completely unobstructed, not covered by any buildings or branches, and it hadn’t dipped low enough to be cut off by the horizon yet. The wholeness of the circle created a beautiful display of color and light.

From the movie Cameraperson (2016)

Spring

The warm, bright, sunlight illuminates the beautiful sunflowers in the foreground. The sunset and flowers bring up memories of the nice warm spring day where the sun’s gaze strikes my skin as I walk past the flowers as they bloom. The warmth and overall color temperature remind me of the nicer weather in spring versus the cooler, bluer color temperature of a winter setting.

Lighting Observation 5

Posted on March 13, 2025 by previousstudent

Taken by me in Westborough MA

Theme: Spring

It was mid-april and the first really nice day of spring, so my family went to our favorite ice cream stand to celebrate. They have a pasture for cows by the parking lot, and I noticed that one of the cows had a heart on it’s head. The grass is especially green and the sky in the background is very picturesque, very blue with lots of white clouds. The grass gets more yellow in the background and is almost like a gradient, which contrasts nicely with the dark green trees in the background.

Found on Google from Kungsträdgården  (King’s tree farm)

2. Theme: Spring

When the words spring come up I get brought back to the light of the day in Sweden. Coming from a winter when we rarely have any direct contact with the sunlight, spring coming back is a blessing. I do have a cherry blossom tree of my own in our yard, however I couldn’t find a picture of it. The reason I think cherry blossom trees represent spring is because of the fact that they only bloom through the spring before falling again right after. I love how this generally represent the lighting that we get in the swedish spring (in like april) because it’s neutral, it’s not cold, nor is it a warmer sunlight

Light Observation #6

Posted on March 12, 2025 by previousstudent
  1. March 12th, 2025 at 7:18pm – on my deck outside my house
  2. I am outside looking at the solar powered string lights lined across my deck.
  3. On my deck, the string lights cast a soft, inviting glow that wraps the space in warmth. The bright white center of each bulb catches my eye, but it’s the soft, golden halo around it that feels comforting. It’s almost like the lights are breathing heat into the cold night; This warmth shines onto the remaining plants from last year, patiently waiting for spring to return.
