August 4, 2024, Mt Hope Farm, Rhode Island

Sunrise/Sunset

I was working as a caterer at a wedding. It was around 8 PM and the light was reflecting on the dark water. I accidentally caught a couple in my photo who were less lit by the sunset and more by the artificial lights of the inside of the venue, Cove Cabin. I felt like the water was jumping into the light, pushing other areas down and away. I also see a pattern in the water with a pathway of light towards the shore and more of a rounded path to the right with darker areas on the left. The gradient above the water and behind the tree line of blue to pink to orange to yellow with clouds inserting themselves into the center of the light was a really beautiful, almost artistic sight to see.

Photo Observation 2/13

Photo taken by me, Orlando January 12th 2025 @ 6:16 P.M.

Sunrise/Sunset

As the sun sets on another hectic day with the whole family, the warm bright orange washes away any worries or troubles. The end of one day showing such beauty as the whole group knows the next brings more fun, arguments, and family vacation craziness. The bright yellows and oranges juxtapose the pale grey-blue sky. Despite the cold of the winter creeping its way into Florida’s typical heat, the warm skies are a reminder that it will always be warmer here than in the bitter cold of the north. Long days of walking and swimming and family dynamics make the calm of this sunset over the fountain the perfect time to reflect and know it is finally time to rest.

Photo taken by me, in my hometown. August 2023 as the sunsets around 8pm

THEME: sunrise/sunset

DESCRIPTION: The sun is setting on a late summer day. It is my favorite time of year as my birthday is approaching, but that’s not the only reason. The Earth is warm from months of the longest days we will see all year round. The sun is big, golden and warm. This park on the Hudson is easily my favorite place, and the sun is telling enough as to why. The park allows you to look right out onto the horizon. Not only does the sun outstretch it rays to feel my skin, but I can see the rest of the sky being illuminated in every color.

This photo is a still from the film The Midnight Sky (2020)

 

The theme is Sunrise/Sunset

 

A warm, bright, and vibrant sunrise breaks through the cold, heartless night sky as a father and daughter look forward to their uncertain future. The sunrise brings a new dawn, a new day, and new opportunities for the father and daughter to bond and overcome any hardships they may have to face, as with every sunset, there is a sunrise that follows.

Sunrise/Sunset

  1. May 13th, 2018 @ 4:38 PM – Walt Disney World Resort, Florida – Taken by Me
  2. Sunrise/Sunset
  3. This photo was taken as the sun was setting in Disney in front of Cinderella’s castle. The orange and pink light reflects off the side of the castle clashing with the blue lights that illuminate the castle in the frame. The sunset makes this side of the castle appear shadowed framing the edges on the left just enough to emphasize the silhouette. It feels directly from a fairytale the sunset against the castle brings a warm anticipation to the image evoking feelings of romance and love.

1) Photo taken January 2nd, 2025 at Smith Point Beach

2)Sunrise/Sunset

3)It was cold and windy, as it usually is by the beach. There weren’t many people walking around which was the perfect opportunity to lay out a beach chair and watch the sunset. I brought little hand warmers to stuff in my jacket pocket because I was freezing. The position in which the sun sets makes the amber light hit the ocean, and you can see it reflect off the ocean. You can even see the amber/orangish light hit and reflect off of parts of the sand. The sun lights up a good portion of the bottom half of the sky in an orange pinkish color, leaving the rest of the sky a bright blue color. The position of the sun also creates a cool effect on the clouds, light appears to hit the clouds from the bottom making them appear to have a pinkish color. My favorite thing about this picture is the way that the light hits the clouds and the shadows it gives it.

  1. August 4th, 2024 at 8:09 PM – Prime Hook, Delaware – Photo taken by me
  2. Sunrise/Sunset
  3. It was my first day in Prime Hook, a beautiful nature preserve in Delaware. A deep blue, orange, and yellow filled the sky. The sunset reflected the warm summer air and the peaceful atmosphere of this quaint town. I liked seeing how the sky reflected onto the water, making it a light orange. This photo is a good memory – it reminds me of the start of a wonderful week exploring a new place and getting closer with family.

  1. Cortina, Italy; January 5, 2025 16:53 (4:53pm) Photo was taken by me
  2. Sunset/Sunrise
  3. After a long day of skiing and putting my skis away, I saw this lovely sunset coming from the sky. The combination of the soft-looking clouds, together with the pink, blue, and purple, it was incredible being able to witness it as the day turned into evening. Seeing this sunset in person made it feel warm (even if it was roughly -5 C, roughly 23 F) and like it was a great moment to just stand there, and take some time to just reflect and think about everything that’s happening in the moment.

  1. January 10, 2023, 6:25 am. Lamar’s Donuts, CO
  2. Sunrise/Sunset
  3. The darkness of the night clings to the sky as the sun starts to peek over the horizon, turning the sky a dark purple. On the horizon, it fads into pink as the sun barely peaks over into the sky. It reflects and highlights the clouds that dust and obscure the stars. The beautiful colors juxtapose with the darkness of the trees, the sharpness of the half melted snow on the ground. There is a freedom that the light brings, clearing away the darkness of the world and allowing a beautiful sprawl of purples, pinks, and orange. There is a reminder of how beautiful our everyday can be, a reminder of how beautiful it is to be alive. Yet, there is an element of frigidness that accompanies this beauty. The white snow is muddied and melting, a freezing oasis illuminated by headlights. The trees in the distance are dark and foreboding, blurring the full beauty of the sunset. It is resembles that true reality of our world, both beautiful and biting

Photo Observation #1

Photo taken by me via iPhone while in Athens, Greece on January 6th, 2024.

Theme: sunrise/sunset. 

What should have been an easy, restful morning instead started at 7:29am, just barely over 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Waking up this early has never been comfortable–fortunately the chill of early January was extinguished by mighty shades of orange, pink and purple that dominated the sky. The sun’s cast was overbearing but was unable to penetrate the artificial white glow of the dock lights that bounced off the boats’ shiny finish. The fight between this natural and man-made heat let the group and I know that although our wakeup was rough, it would be smooth-sailing on our way out of the marina. Besides the obvious fact that it was a real sunrise captured in the photo, the light seeping through gray clouds and spilling onto gray sea water in a vibrant combination of color bursts is what made the photo a prime example of light within the sunrise/sunset theme.
