12:35am, inside Adams Playhouse lobby.
Dark lobby with lamposts outside casting dim white light. Silhouettes of the door panels are cast on the walls.
—
A tranquil space of comfortable solitude in the late shadows of the night. Against the cold tiles, I sat and watched the long beams of dim light cascade along the floors and up the walls illuminating the glass pane structures of the window. Within the lobby’s silence and darkness, there seems like nothing but time in the slumbering theatre.

#6/7/8: Primary blue, full intensity
I took this picture at a concert last summer, and I remember being there and thinking that the lighting was very surreal and unnatural, in a good way. The colors were so vivid and coming straight down to the audience from the stage, so it felt like I was in another world.

I selected this image because of the strange, almost unnatural lighting it displayed. Althought it is still on a single subject, I knew that it would prove as a challenge.
When making my diagram, I knew that I was going to utilise the cyc lights. I also planned on using ERS’s for the spots of color which break up the orange/red background.
In Light Lab, I would have made the floor and wall white to be more reflective but ran out of time.

This photo is taken by Nate Smith from google. I chose this because the lighting seemed surreal, almost like a UFO was landing.

Objective: The bright sunlight beaming across the lawn shines onto the relaxing students of Hofstra.
Subjective: In the warm, glowing heat of the sunlight provides a white and yellow-ish tint onto the students spread out across the lawn. This light makes the scenery feel light and happy compared to the recent cold and miserable rainy days.

Theme: Surreal
I chose this photo as surreal because it is unnatural lighting. The color combination is unusual, and putting myself in the model’s position in the image, staring directly into a light source can induce a feeling of surrealism.
For the angle/color diagram, there appears to be a front light containing an orange light with a green highlight, and a second orange spot from the upper left corner.
Deep Straw – full, front and upper left corner
Medium Blue Green – full, front
Medium Blue Green – 75, upper left corner
I used a soft focus on all four beams, 5-degree width on both Medium Blue Greens, and 14-degree width on both Deep Straws.
Light red – Full
Deep straw – full
Tahitian blue – 75%
Tharon delft – 65%

Objective Description: The shadow of the railing on the steps of the building is broken and wavy, even though the railing is a straight object.
Subjective Description: The railing stands all day with strength and never wavers. However, when its shadow was reflected on the stairs beneath it, I was deceived about its shape. If I didn’t know any better, I would have believed what I saw on the steps, but I remembered to look up and confirm that the railing was intact.
4/4/24 Narnia on Campus at 9PM
Objective: it is dark outside and filled with trees, making it seem even darker. It is hard to see the statues, as they blend in like shadows since it is dark out. The only thing lighting the area are the poles with lights on them.
Subjective: It looks like a mysterious forest. Not in a scary way, but it feels almost mystical and makes you forget you are on a college campus. The lights make it comforting, but the dark trees and statues add layers of mystery.
