Lighting Observation

Date: 04/28/2023

Time: around 5:00 pm

Location: in a bookstore somewhere in Manhattan

Objective: the bookstore is a small dainty place off in the corner of street. Inside, the lights were warm but not a disturbingly bright yellow. There was just lighting to make the different books and objects visible to the people inside. It does well to work with the rainbow of color we get from the hundreds or books displayed in the chaotic layout of the book shelves. Although there are large windows on the sides of the store, the windows were covered by curtains and signs which hindered any natural light to come in.

Subjective: The lighting was just warm enough, and bright enough where the books and lettering could be visible. But was still a bit dim where you can feel at ease and relaxed. Similar to how someone might not one to have all the lights on at home, but maybe have it to its 70% value. The lighting did well to accompany the browns from the wooden shelves and the many colors decorating the place from the plethora of books. Overall it created this homey and relaxed feeling, which is great when it comes to the idea of reading books.

Photo Observation-Wildcard

Credits to me

Theme: Wildcard

Description: This is a photo taken from an AgustD concert I went to recently. I really loved the chaotic and vibrant lighting palette that was used throughout the entire set. This moment particularly was one I found really cool. Especially the way they put projections into the red beaming lighting coming from some type of footlights upstage. I believed the projections were supposed to be moving clouds in the lights. Initially, it started off as white lights but then when we reached to the climax of the song, it turned to the red (as seen in the photo) to portray the anger in the lyrics he was rapping. Also I liked the use of the phones and using those as practical lights to surround the artist and bring more focus to him.

Time: 11:00 am

Objective: The sky is full of clouds, but the sky isn’t dark. Despite the pouring rain and gusts of wind, the sky is as bright as it would be on a sunny day.

Subjective: This gives me a sense of warmth and comfort. Wanting to stay inside with a book and sit by a fire.

Lighting Observation

Date: 4/25/23

Time: 7:31pm

Location: Citi Field

Objective observation: It is so bright!! There are four sets of huge field lights illuminating the diamond, and the sun hasn’t quite set yet so there’s still some natural light as well. Plus the wraparound LED screens and the jumbotron are constantly changing displays, showing advertisements or information about the game.

Subjective observation: I mean, not to state the obvious, but it feels like I’m at a baseball game. These stadium lights are indisputably a baseball game. They make it feel like daytime even as night falls.

Lighting Observation

Date: 4/29/23

Time: 10:00pm

Objective: I have an LED tree in my dorm room and its so bright it lights the entire room when every other light is off.

Subjective: Somehow even the tiniest of light sources, can still be powerful enough to make the world visible. The LED flower blossoms, although small, are numerous, and can therefore work together shining in every direction to shed light on an entire world.

Wild Card

Description: New York Skyline with a sunset behind. The sky is filled with shades of blues, purples, and pinks. I chose this picture because it combines my two favorite things, New York and sunsets.

Photo taken by me in Florida over spring break

I chose this picture because I really love all of the colors you can see so clearly in the sky. The colors were so vibrant in real life and they translated beautifully on camera. We all watched the sky get more and more bright as the sun set and it is a really nice memory.

This semester I am working on a piece for student rep that revolves around the concept of little kids and their view of space. The very last section of my piece I want my dancers to look like they are on the moon. This photo is what I am using for for my inspiration because while it isn’t a real photo it has the really strong side lighting plus the Earth in the background which I was looking for in photos.

Wild Card

Taken by me on December 31st 2022 around 3:30PM at the Capital One Arena.

Description: Ice Hockey is the only sport I really follow. Last year on New Year’s Eve some family friends invited my parents and I to box seats for the final game of the year. While in this picture the lighting just seems like regular overhead lights, throughout the night visibility was constantly changing, energy rising and falling in the crowd. The game itself was incredibly fun to watch, and it’s an incredible experience to watch live sports from some of the best seats in the stadium.

Wild Card

Photo taken by me at February 9th, 2020.

Theme: Wild Card

I choose this photo because I like Eiffel Tower. Every time I go to Paris, I will go to see Eiffel Tower at night. It’s very beautiful when it light up. From this side, there’s no other buildings that as high as Eiffel Tower, so it’s very spectacular. And it’s so shine that feels like it’s claiming its leading role. The warm light of itself also shines sky, so sky looks yellowed. Moreover, the street light beneath Eiffel Tower reflect in the water, which makes this photo more beautiful, but at the same time, instead of attracting much attention, it set off the Eiffel Tower, so the main focus was still on Eiffel Tower.
