Lighting Observation

  1. My bedroom located in the attic, 2/9/23, around 11:30 pm
  2. The bedroom has no lights on. The only light is coming from a small window and staircase directly below. The light from the staircase reflects off the many items placed alongside the main wall and creates these large shadows in the shape of these items.
  3. The lighting is not enough for me to see anything else in the room other than shadows and part of the staircase railings. The large shadows instilled a sense of fear and eerie into me. The low lighting adds to a level of uncertainty and fear of the unknown.

Outside Estabrook window 2/3/2023 5:56 pm

 

Objective: Sunset in the distance with trees and city lights in the foreground.

Subjective: The way the sun is setting in the distance instills a sense of warmth. The street lamps and the city lights add a calm and serene feeling. The silhouetted trees add a sense of the unknown.

  1. Amsterdam lounge, 2/9/23, around 5:20 PM
  2. The sunset shining through tree branches and through partly opened blinds.
  3. As the sun slowly started to sink through the branches, through the windows and blinds, shadows slowly crept closer and closer to the table I was sitting at. Even knowing it wasn’t a real hand, it was still chilling and nerve wracking, like a ghostly figure was reaching out. As the sun made the sky warm peach and royal pink tones, and as the shadows finally sank back out of the room, peacefulness and calmness returned.

1) Thursday February 9th, 2023 – 9:00 pm – Groningen 228

2) A bright desk lamp shinning directly into my eye sitting on my friend’s desk.

3) As my friend called out my name, I turned my head to look at her, and at this exact moment, she decided to flip on her desk lamp. The white light flashed like car headlights into my eyes making me feel on edge and alert. The light momentarily blinded me and left me with spotty vision like I was wearing an eye patch on only parts of my eyes. The light felt like a pocket sized sun burning into my eyes until she turned it off after watching my reaction.

Sunday, February 5th, @3:00pm

Objective: My friends and I were sitting in my dorm room working on our homework. I was sitting on the floor and the sun was shining through the window so that it was blinding me. I stood up and turned off the room light.

Subjective: The sun shining through the window was bright but also had a warm tint. When I stood to turn off the lights something felt off, but it wasn’t the sunlight. Once I turned off the light I could see it on all of our faces the relief of just having the natural light in the room. The room light had a cold feeling to it so when I turned it off the room was bathed in a warmth that was comforting and symbolized the tranquility and restfulness of a “lazy Sunday.”

Sunset Photo

Posted on February 9, 2023 by previousstudent

Photo taken by me: January 15th, 5p.m.

Theme: Sunset/Sunrise

I took this photo when I was in Matera, Italy. The sunset shows pink and purple, instead of orange and yellow. It is so astonishing. Although the sun did not shows directly in the photo, its impact affect the whole sky. Moreover, I like the way that when pink and purple are so powerful, there still half of the sky that only shows blue, and it makes the picture more beautiful than only pink and purple.

February 6, 2022 – Picture taken by my mom in Florida

Theme: Sunrise/Sunset

My mom is currently in Florida for the next three weeks and on Monday she sent me this photo. I really enjoyed the bright orange sky that is showcased in the photo. It reminded me of when I used to go with my family to Florida to see my mom’s side of the family and it made me very nostalgic. It also made me sad because I’m here and she’s in Florida.

Photo Taken by Me: 5:15 pm, 2/4/2023

Theme: Sunrise/Sunset

I took this photo from my dorm room window. My dorm room is west facing, so during sunsets, the light shines through my blinds and makes the room a warm orange. I like watching the sunset from my dorm window since growing up I couldn’t see the sunsets like this other than on family vacations. The gradient of color has always fascinated me. How the sky one minute can go from a light blue to these striking red, orange, and purple tones. I try to take a photo of most of the sunsets I get to see.

Photo taken by me at 4:41 pm, 12/16/2021

Theme: Sunset/ Sunrise

I took this photo after visiting the new art exhibitions around Chelsea. This was the first time I had left my house in a long time, other than going to school. Although I was very hesitant about going out, it turned out to be a really great day. This sunset was the cherry on top. The sky’s blue, pink, and orange colors created a beautiful, surreal image. This combination of colors is not something I usually see, so it really was a magical moment for me. This provided a moment of serenity for me, and it felt like I could escape from reality a bit.
