Photo Observation

  1. Theme: Surreal
  2. Attributes: March 30, 6:15, LIRR
  3. Description: This is a photo I took while reading on the train home. I liked the way the sun was pouring on to my book and the seats in front of me. The temperature outside was cold of the lighting on the train felt like a warm summer afternoon. The lighting almost seems too crisp, too warm, too bright, where it’s realistic because it did in fact happen but also seems surreal like there is something artificial about the overall lighting.

Light Observation

May 16th, 5:21 pm Cambria Heights

I was driving home from work and the lighting seemed to split the sky in two distinct categories. On the left, grey, blue clouds hung low in the air with small streams of soft golden yellow peering through. On the right the sky is deep bright blue without a cloud in sight. The sun in behind me, but there is a large shadow on the road in front of me because two semi trucks are behind me blocking the rays of the sun. It is interesting to see how the sun lights the sky above without lighting the road in front.

May 8th, 7:57 pm Sunnyside

On the LIRR coming home from the city and the sun has set behind the buildings but the sky is still lit up and colorful. There are pink and orange fluffy clouds in a deep purple sky. The bottom line of the horizon is a very bright orange from the colors of the last of the day’s sun. The atmosphere feels warm and comforting.

April 27th, 1:11pm corner of Oak St. and Hempstead turnpike.

I’m driving in a rush to work, and the sky is a glacier blue like blue Gatorade, very saturated and bright. The sun is deepening the color and the brightness while also illuminating the heavy dark clouds in the distance. The color of the asphalt in the road seems to have lost saturation, it doesn’t even look black it almost looks like a grayish white.

Lighting Moment

Posted on May 17, 2022 by previousstudent

Date/Time/Location: 5/5 Student Rep Dress

Objective Description: The black box is dark and buzzing with pre-show jitters. I’m sitting in my seat waiting to watching my choreography, among many other works. The first piece ends and then a blue light just barely lights the space so that the dancers/crew can quickly remove several boxes from the stage.

Subjective Description: The blue was very ominous and reminded me of a percolating storm. It was interesting because just moments ago the dancers were dancing in a whole different “atmosphere” and now they were just people removed props from the stage. I liked how pedestrian this seemed.

April 16th, 6:07 pm, my desk.

The sun is setting below the top part of my windowsill and lighting up the dies of my face and the rest of my desk. It is now difficult to see my computer screen with the light bouncing off of the white screen. My plants are a brighter green and the dry soil is more visible. It feels like a warm cast has been thrown over the room.

Lighting Observation #12

Posted on May 17, 2022 by previousstudent
  1. Tuesday, May 17th, around 8:00am. My dorm looking out to Oak street and the tress behind Stuyvesant.
  2. There is a shadow from the building and the taller trees making it so some leaves appear to be greener than others.
  3. With the sun on the other side of the building, I was able to see all of the shadows and where the light hit without the worry of being blinded. There was very little wind and no clouds, so it seemed as though that the leaves that were getting sun, had been getting sun for a while. These leaves looked like they were glowing green and started to reflect the sunlight. This was a nice contrast to the leaves that were in the shadows, getting no light. Where the leaves with sun seemed to be alive and have a mind of their own, the leaves in the shadows seemed mopey and like they had no movement to them. It gave off the illusion that the minimal wind only affected the leaves that had sun.

Theme: St. Patrick’s day

Description: In honor of St. Patrick’s day I decided to depict people irish step dancing on stage. The lighting moment is obviously the stage lighting of the piece with the main light being on the faces and bodies of the dancers with a front light.
