Brennan Summer Photo

Photo Theme: Summer

This photo I found online while looking specifically for something that had a nice evening vibe. Summertime is know for the longer days and shorter nights, but I find that summer evenings are some of the best times to exist. In the photo it seems to be early dusk, most of the landscape in the background is in shadow and silhouetting against a dark blue sky. The sunset either just happened, or is across the sky on the other horizon. Under the cover of this porch there are two other sources of illumination that give contrast. The first is an exposed overhead bulb, good old fashion incandescent with a warm splash of amber light. Around the edge of the porch is a bunch of fairy lights that are loosely hung so as to dangle and overlap somewhat — which look to be just a hint warmer than the bulb. These artificial sources provide a warm glow that envelops this quiet and contemplative space. It is separated from the outside world, but only somewhat. A mere few steps away is everything else that life has to offer, but under this little wooden roof is a place to sit and enjoy a bit of peace. It feels calming, the kind of spot you could enjoy in so many different ways with or without anyone else involved.

To me, summer means late nights spent outside next to a fire.

Dunkin Cottage Reality

Theme: Summer

This image is of a beach in my town in which  my friends and I frequent exclusively in the summer time. The bright yellow sun with an orange gradient in to purple tones combined with the white foaming of the ocean reminds me of carefree days when all responsibilities are set aside and one can simply relax at the beach and watch the sun set while listening to the waves crash upon the shore. The purple tones looming over the sky signifying the end of a happy day represents a lullaby type soothing, kindly telling the world to rest for the day.

Lighting Observation

Posted on May 3, 2023 by previousstudent

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.

Date:4/29

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.

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.
