Lighting Observation 4/12
4/8/24 – 10:03 AM – 6th Avenue
Objective: The sun shines and reflects light on the buildings as we walk down the street toward Radio City Music Hall.
Subjective: The sun is not reluctant to tell us it is morning. Although the buildings scrape the sky and block the sun from direct view, we still experience the power of its rays against the sheen of the glass windows.
Advertisement Light Lab 4/11
For my lab recreation of this ad, I used the middle overhead light with a soft focus, one side light from stage left, and one front/side light from stage left. The sidelights were hung at the second level, and all lights were set to a 26-degree range. I am uncertain whether the advertisement uses two lights from the side or not, but I chose to use two because my subject was too dark compared to the ad otherwise.
Light Observation 4/5
Location: Breslin Hall, 4pm
Objective: Sun beams are seen from the thin area between the window sill and curtains. They are created by ambient dust and haze which dissipates as class continues.
Subjective: The outdoors stabs through an oppressive hall, impaling themselves into the minds of students who want nothing more than to leave.
Light Observation 4/5
4/5, 4:00 pm, bay window in my house
Objective description:
It is mid-afternoon, and the sky has scattered dark clouds with some blue still peeking through. The sun is not out, but it is hidden behind the clouds, so it is still light outside. The muted sun makes everything look grey-washed.
Subjective description:
The lack of sunlight outside makes my street look very cold and empty, and the energy is overall very bleak. As I sit in the window and look outside, the grey sky makes me want to stay home and take a nap. It’ll seem much nicer and warm out once the sun comes back from behind the clouds
Light Observation 4/5
4/4 – 12:49 PM – Bits & Bytes
Objective Description: Cool, natural white light coming in through the windows contrasts the warm light from the indoor lights with yellow lampshades.
Subjective Description: Another cloudy day disperses its cool light into the room, lighting it up easily. However, this light lacks the character that the warm yellow light projected by the indoor lamps displays. The juxtaposition between the two forms of light creates the effect of a warm shelter from the harsher weather outdoors.
