Lighting Observation 2/22

Objective: Walking to class this morning, I noticed the light shined through the trees in a similar way as when it shines through the forest while I am snowmobiling. The faster you go, the beams of light pop out of the branches and openings like little sparkles in the sky. I was reminded of this sight today, just in a much slower fashion.

 

Subjective: The light shining through the trees today reminded me of the mystical feeling of snowmobiling through the forest back home, in (wayyyy) Upstate New York. When I’m snowmobiling, the snow on the trail and in the trees around me looks very magical. It’s very hard to explain, but cruising through the winds and bends of the trail feels like a beautiful fairytale. The sun is always shining, but not hot enough to melt the snow. The snow is bright and cheery, and it lights up the path and allows for shadows and bumps to be highlighted so the rider can see what’s coming next.

Lighting Observation Feb 22

The back of Starbucks in the Student Center 3:34 PM Thursday

Objective: The student center, in general, is lit up from the huge windows that let the sun in. There are also hanging lights from the ceiling. The whole area is very bright and overall well lit. However, in the back of Starbucks, there is a wall that stops part of the window light from coming in. This wooden wall has holes in it, so it allows for some light to come in and it creates an orange tint. It is much darker compared to the rest of the Student Center and it has streaks of light.

 

Subjective: The back of Starbucks feels like a dimmer, romantic, and more intimate spot, because there is a contrast of the bright student center. It is like an orange little cave and the lighting makes it feel secluded from the rest of the setting.

Lighting Observation #3

2/18/24 – 5:06 PM – Lowe 108

Objective Description: One of the rolling mirrors was facing toward the windows, and as the sun was setting the mirror reflected the sun’s rays into the room.

Subjective Description: As I sat looking at the mirror away from the sun, I found that I couldn’t escape its brightness yet. The mirror itself became the sun, shining as brightly as if it were, bursting the room into golden light.

Lighting Observation – part three

2/22/2024 – 11:18 am – Lowe 201

Objective: The cold light through the window illuminates the classroom, competing with the light from the projector.

Subjective: The cooler tone of the outside light similarly matches the color of the projector light, illuminating the classroom and making the eyes settle quickly. Since the setting is at a cooler light, there are showings of a whiter light rather than more of a warm yellow tone from the sun.

This photo was taken from my window after the light snowstorm over the break. The gray clouds mixed with the newly white snow make the scene feel cold.

Cold

To me, this photo taken from the window of my dorm just screams cold. Not just because of the snow but also because of the colors in the picture. The super grey clouds, grey buildings, and somewhat grey looking trees, all just seem to have a sense of coldness about them. The snow does give it that extra touch of coldness and so does the filter used on Instagram, but this photo just seems cold.

Lighting Observation 2/22

This photo was taken by me in October at Bald Mountain in Old Forge. It was very cold and windy outside, but the fog and clouds looked beautiful with the sunlight shining through and I love this photo captured that shows it.

Photo Observation 2/22: Cold

Via Pinterest

For this assignment, I took notes from the natural world. The early morning is the coldest time for anyone who has spent time outdoors. In this image, cold is exemplified by the constriction of color and detail. Just as your hands go numb, the image is faded and holds some vagueness. The mist hides everything past the subject and catches its color before most of it can reach the viewers eye. The subject and its isolated nature also adds to the theme, as it is always so much colder when theres no warm home nearby.

Journal Entry #1

Tripadvisor

The photo is of a sunset at the beach, describing that days end so others can begin.

The lighting is somewhere in the middle to create the space to see the colors when the sun sets to see the simplicity of it all.
