Photo Observation 2/8
Photo taken by me
This photo is taken on a summer night in a harbor in Salem, MA. I like this picture because you can see the contrast between the pinks and oranges of the sun and the blues of the sky and the ocean. There is also a cool circular effect that the sun creates in the middle of the photo, almost like a halo.
Lighting Observation
Date: 5/5/2023 5:30am
Location: my house
Objective: The sunrise makes the sky slowly change from dark blue to light blue.
Subjective: Sometimes when I can’t sleep, I will sit by the window and watch the sunrise, watching the sky gradually become brighter, feeling the energy of a new day. With some birds chirping, it is very pleasant. But also means I have a whole night insomnia.
Lighting Observation
Date: 5/5/23
Time: 7:30pm
Location: Pride Den (aka the Rat)
Objective observation: The lighting is fairly white, including the light from the wall sconces(?), though I think that’s more decorative than practical.
Subjective observation: I’ll say that it definitely doesn’t feel as basement-y in here as it could, and that is definitely thanks to the decision to have cool white lights instead of yellow pseudo-incandescent ones. Even at night, it feels like daytime in the Rat.

The lights in the Vander Poel parking lot
There are two street lights shining on a car in two different directions, creating equal shadows on both sides of the car. The shadows on either side had a wing-like effect on the car. It looked like a huge butterfly laying in a parking lot.

Hempstead Turnpike
Objective: I saw a cell phone tower in the distance while I was driving.
Subjective: The red flashing light on top of the tower, which marks its height for fly traffic, felt as if to represent a beacon of hope, calling out to those lost in the dark sky. Although the purpose of the light is to direct things away from it, the repetitive behavior felt as though it was persuading people to come closer.

The light reflecting off of a puddle I can see from 216
There are puddles of rain all over the parking lot and the street lights lining campus reflect off of them creating something that looks like a portal. There is a mix of the white street lamp and the blue safety lights combining to make a beautiful cross pattern of blue and white lights reflecting off the rippling water.

The disco ball string lights hanging up in my room
The rest of my room is completely dark except for a string of 10 mini disco ball lights. The warm light reflecting off of them is so dim, but it really makes my room feel more like a home rather than a dorm. They are so cute and warm and they really make me feel happy and safe.

The stop sign to get onto the street I live on in Georgia
As I was driving home from seeing my sister’s play, I was looking at the red light above my car and I realized how much like home this light felt like. I used to see it every single day, so after not seeing it for a long time it really reminded me of living at home and how much I missed it.

The lights on the intramural sports field during softball practice
The bright stadium lights shined directly into our eyes as we were trying to catch the ball like bright spot lights just on us. They felt as bright as the sun when we looked into them.
