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.

Cold Photo Lighting Observation

This is a photo I took 2 years ago in January on the ride from Staten Island to Long Island. The lighting is overall blue, which creates a feeling of being cold. Also, the silhouette of the tree without any leaves against the blue lighting really signifies the fact that it is winter. The clouds are a bit darker, and in all, you can feel the coldness from the picture.

02/16 Light Observation

The string lights that hang in the lounge in my dorm.

They cast a subtle but nice glow over the room, creating a very serene and comforting environment. They’re not so bright as to expose every inch of the room, but they do light up above the couch, which tends to be the heart of the room.

Cold Photo Theme

This picture was taken at sunset outside of C-Square a couple of days after our snow day. I really like the way the blue/ purple of the sky darken the silhouette of the bare trees, and how it makes the towers look much darker than they really are. The dark clouds looming in the corner also help to add to the mood of the photo.

Photo Observation 2/22

Picture taken by me

I took this picture while skiing at Mount Sunapee in New Hampshire. It is very obviously cold in this picture; my family went in the middle of January, and there was actually fresh snow on the ground, not just from the snow blowers. In particular, it was super fogged over and snowy that day, so the lighting was dark, which made the picture look even colder. Especially with the snow, fog, and the dark green trees, there are no warm tones at all, and I cand remember how cold this day was from looking at this picture.

Photo Observation 2/22

Photo taken by me

This photo was taken on the island Inisheer, one of the Aran Islands located off the coast of Ireland. This was actually the first day of true Irish weather while I was there, so it was chilly and windy. I think this photo represents cold lighting well because the sky and the ocean have the same gray-ish blue color, and there’s no sun visible. The ocean doesn’t look very welcoming, but rather cold and choppy.

Light Observation 2/16

2/16 – 10:30 pm – inside my room

Objective description: There is a little bit of warm white light coming from a standing lamp in the corner of the room. There are also purple light covering the whole room coming from strip LED lights on my walls. There is a small amount of flicking light coming from a lit candle.

 

Subjective description: I keep the overhead light turned off in my room and prefer to have a bunch of smaller lights on to make the atmosphere feel more inviting. Having a few different colors of light adds dimension to my room and adds a purple tint to the posters on my wall. I feel relaxed because the dimmer lights do not hurt my eyes like my big overhead light.
