Lighting Observation

Posted on April 18, 2023 by previousstudent

Date: 04/16/23

Time: 1:00 am

Location: driving home from the 7/11 near my house

Objective: It’s dark outside but not as dark as I expected. More like dark grey, where you can still see movement in the sky. The only light guiding me while driving, other than my car lights, are the low streetlights. There was also a lot of fog at that time of night, enough to make me take precaution with driving slower than usual.

Subjective: All the fog and low lighting in a dark setting reminded me of many horror scenes. The fog intensifies any sense of fear because it inhibits your line of vision. It adds on to the idea of uncertainty and the unknown.

Lighting Moment

Date: 4/10/23

Time: 7:10 P.M.

Location: Utrecht House

Objective: a sunset through the blinds on the window to my dorm room

Subjective: I could barely see the sun and the sky was still mostly blue, but I was in a call with my friend who was describing his view of the sunset, making my own feel prettier than it was

Light Observation

Posted on April 14, 2023 by previousstudent

Date: 4/14/23

Time: 5:45pm

Location: Fyhre Hibachi

Objective observation: There’s a lot of natural light coming in through the big front windows, and there are magenta LED strip lights at interval along the wall.

Subjective observation: The magenta lights on the wall give an element of whimsy to an otherwise fairly nice, straight-laced restaurant. They’re charming, but still classy, and the natural light through the windows is refreshing.

Lighting Observation

Date: April 14th, 2023

Time: 3:00pm

C-Square Dorm

Pictures on the walls reflected the light coming in from the window.

The light shining on some of the wall made several of the pictures glow with purity. This simple white light felt to be a tiny representation of a heavens gate. Because the light was only reflecting off some of the pictures, it seemed that the light was choosing which pictures it shined on. Furthering the feeling of heaven shining down on earth.

Photo Observation- Surreal

Posted on April 13, 2023 by previousstudent

Attribution: Instagram, @carterr_

Theme: Surreal

Description: I focused on the idea of how surreal appears very dreamlike. This image does maintain components of reality with the warm light hitting the person from the back, but the blue-green light is an uncommon and relatively unnatural color. The blue-green light coming from the window on the side creates that unrealistic, other worldly illusion. Also the haziness of the light provides the blurriness and lack of accuracy that is associated with dreams.

June 27, 2018 picture taken by me in Tennessee

Theme: Surreal

I took this photo in Tennessee at Pigeon Forge. This photo comes from a mirror maze I was in and I love how eerie it looks since you can’t see the end of the maze from this angle.

Theme: Surreal

Description: Migraines plus doing homework in my dorm often make me feel trapped in one place. This image and this lighting makes me feel the same way, trapped in a small room with faint light, coming in through blinds that make lines along the floor.

Photo Theme: Surreal

This is from The Exorcist. I like the use of silhouette, especially when paired with the strong spotlight effect that is visible with the fog. The Overhead lamp also helps to give just enough context to really make it seem like this character is crossing into a new world. The stark contrast between the character silhouette and the glowing beam of light make it stand out. The spotlight also creates a strong line. There is a lot of mystery, involved, as it makes it seem like the very location itself is alive and aware of this outsider’s presence. For my re-creation I also utilized Gobo effects to mimic the lights in the house, which act as a bit of color contrast against an otherwise entirely blue toned scene.

Surreal Photo

Posted on April 13, 2023 by previousstudent

Photo taken by me on Nov. 12th, 2022, at a bus station in Baltimore, 6:15am.

Theme: surreal

Liminal spaces like bus stops during late night/early morning hours are always surreal to me. I was on a very early morning bus home from NY when we made a pit stop in Baltimore. The sun was just starting to rise when I took this picture, and the lone bus in the parking lot feels just slightly wrong. That, combined with the bizarre blue/gold combination of the sky behind it, make the photo altogether feel surreal.

SURREAL

This photo is very surreal for me because it looks a little creepy but calm. A strong light that comes from the back is very catch people’s attention.
