I like the dreamy tone set by the light glares in the image. It gives the whimsical feeling of spring from soft colors complimented by the brightness and warmth of the light in the image

Lighting Observation 3/15

Posted on March 13, 2024 by previousstudent

Setting: Equipment Room Loading Hall, LHSC, 5pm Mar 13th

Objective: A Fluorescent Light Reflects off of a semi-glossy black-painted door. The reflection is semi-specular and results in a rounded and diffused shape.

Subjective: An echo of the light above, almost remembered. A Hazy memory in a jet black void, marred with scratches and imperfections. Almost there, almost not.

Photo Observation 3/14 Spring

For me, the most beautiful parts of spring are not those which border on summer, but those that break the crust of winter. The first few days, such as those that we aren currently experiencing, in which the air is warm and the sun shines brightly. I wanted to capture that feeling of life and warm sunshine by observing light casting through tree branches. This particular image was captivating as you can see the light diffuse through the branches, altering their colour, and the remaining beams caught in the morning haze.

To replicate this photo with lighting instruments would be difficult, as all of the light is motivated by the sun. That said, I would likely select a large, open face light with a wide beamspread for the primary lighting source. I would consider fresnels for their parallel rays but worry that their spread would be too narrow. I would also gel the light with CTS. The remaining light would be overhead softlights with a light ctb and maybe some additional diffusion.

Photo Observation 3/14

Posted on March 13, 2024 by previousstudent

Photo taken by Amy Marshall, April 2022

One of the best parts of spring is when it is nice out, and our modern professors let us take class outside. In the background, you can also see that there are a lot of other classes outside because it is warm out, and there is an overall happiness and warmth to the picture. Aside from the picture being taken literally in the spring, the bright sun and vibrant green grass give the picture a feeling of rebirth and renewing, which is what spring is all about.

Photo Observation – 3/12

Photo Theme: Spring

This photo reminds me of spring because the sun is shining on the fresh grass and trees. Soft whites, greens, and glowing sunlight scream spring to me, and that is all present in this picture. Flowering trees in bloom are my favorite things to see in the spring, and I’m always sad that they are so short-lived.

Lighting Observation – part six

Posted on March 12, 2024 by previousstudent

03/11/2023 – 10:40 pm – off-campus housing in Hempstead

Objective: The standing and desktop lamps are turned on in my friend’s bedroom, which has a more orange tone in the lightbulbs.

Subjective: Turning off the overhead light to the lamps had a very significant effect on creating a calmer head space for every individual in the bedroom, providing a sense of security and relaxation to the mind. Between the bright white light and the soft orange bulbs, the orange glow altered the atmosphere of the gathering.

Spring Photo

Posted on March 11, 2024 by previousstudent

This is a photo I took in April 2020. Flowers obviously signify spring, but the white, pink and green colors really get across the fact that it is the spring time. The white light coming out from the sky reminds of the “rebirth” feeling of spring. The brightness and vibrance of the photo really pop and emphasize feelings of spring time. If I edited the photo to make it paler or darker, I do not think the vibe of the photo would be the same.

Photo Theme- Spring

Posted on March 11, 2024 by previousstudent

I took this photo at a vineyard during the Spring. I really loved the way the light was shining from behind the leaves and grapes, adding shadows and highlights to the plant depending on the density of where the sun is shining.

03/08 Light Observation

Posted on March 11, 2024 by previousstudent

03/08:

The glass roof of the AMC building next to Target.

 

At sunset the orange and subtle purple light reflecting off of the glass decor made the building almost look like it was on fire. It was really cool to see it at a distance in contrast with the plain white building and the big red AMC letters just below it. I almost wish the building was that color normally and not just at sunset.

Photo Theme- Bizarre

I found this image on Google. I really liked the way that the light reflects off of the glass object. The different lights that shine on the wall based on the angle of the glass is also really interesting.
