I enjoyed the use of contrasting colors with the bright-lit background against the darkly lit subject. I think the bizarre nature comes from the red projection effect causing the tone to be more eerie and curious.

Photo Observation 3/7

Bizzare

I took this photo at an art exhibit in NYC in 2021. It was bizarre to me because of the way the projections created an immersive experience for the art being displayed. There were a lot of illusions that made the viewer forget that they were inside of a box-like room with projectors.

The faint pink light shining through the projector adds a strange effect to the photo, including the shadows that surround the woman. What makes the photo look bizarre is the long shadow arm, starting from her wrist then stretching down to the bottom of the photo. With only one light provided in the photo, there could be countless of different stories describing of what the photo could mean.

Photo Observation 3/7

Photo taken by me

Photo Theme: Bizarre

This is a photo I took a few years ago in the Axinn Library on one of the higher floors. I was attempting to take a picture of the sunset, but due to the bright interior vs. the dark exterior, the bookshelves were reflected onto the glass, blocking the landscape below. When you first look at it, it is hard to tell what you’re looking at. I kept this photo, although it is bizarre because I liked that it showed the two scenes in one picture.

Light Observation 3/8

Posted on March 4, 2024 by previousstudent

3/4/24 – 6:45 PM – Calkins 139

Objective Description: The flourescent lights in the studio were very bright in comparison to the dark outside. Even though there was only half of them on, the room was completely lit up, and the white paint on the walls reflected into the room.

Subjective Description: The lights emitted a blinding light that made me have to squint, and my pupils kept dilating and constricting, making the room very white and uncomfortable. It was like a hospital with its unyielding brightness.

Lighting observation 3/4

Posted on March 4, 2024 by previousstudent

3/4, 11:47 am, Adams Hall

Objective description: The sun is high in the sky, casting lots of bright light through the windows in my classroom and reflecting off of the computer screens. The glare of the sun coming off of the cars shines onto random points on the wall.

Subjective description: The overwhelming bright light hurts my eyes, considering that this is only my second class, and it makes me aware of how sleep-deprived I am. It is hard to focus on the movie on the screen because of how washed out it is from the sun. I wish we could close the blinds to dim the sunlight.

Lighting Observation – part four

Posted on March 2, 2024 by previousstudent

03/1/2024 – 11:48 pm – sidewalk between Bill and Alliance Towers

Objective: The street lights along the path to the Hofstra towers, with the lights in the tower windows.

Subjective: Each street light lamp illuminates the pathway, making the dark night not seem so cold and secluded. The lights in the tall towers are a distant glow, to show city life to viewers down below, so they don’t feel so alone.

Lighting Observation March 1st

Posted on March 1, 2024 by previousstudent

My room March 1st 5:35PM

Objective: My lights are off and all that is lighting up my room is the outdoor lighting. It is getting to the point where my room is getting pretty dim, and my eyes are re-adjusting to the darkness. Yet, it is still bright enough to not have to turn my lights on.

 

Subjective: It is gloomy and a depressing lighting. The dimness of the room make the walls look grey. It almost makes the room seem smaller and it makes everything look washed out. As soon as I turn the lights on, the room will feel totally different and have color again.

Lighting Observation from 2/16

Posted on March 1, 2024 by previousstudent

Hofstra Concerts Event in the Pride Den

Objective: Someone is playing the guitar and singing up in front of the room. The usual main bright lights are off, and there are dim blue LED lights surrounding the front of the room with a harsh circular spotlight on the person singing. When people walk by the spotlight, you can see their shadow cover the singer.

 

Subjective: It is a calm intimate environment because of the dim blue LED lights, however, it is really easy to look at the singer because the spotlight is so bright in comparison. It really draws attention to the singer and the lighting makes it feel like they are the only person in the room.

Lighting Observation 2/29

Posted on February 29, 2024 by previousstudent

Objective: Two days ago, it was a beautiful and warm day outside. I enjoy waking up and seeing the dim light shining through the window behind my head. It is a cool white through the curtains, and barely reaches the other side of my bedroom.

Subjective: It’s very peaceful to wake up to such a light in my room, as if someone had gently shifted the lights on for me to awake. This always reminds me of a movie-like scene, where the character wakes up and the light is dim but still bright enough to be daytime. It’s very peaceful and calming.
