Lighting Observation

Date: 3/3/23

Time: 7:00 pm

The desk lamp I have attached to my bed in my dorm room fell and blinded me as it went to the ground.

As the bright white light fell, it reminded me of the sequence often used in movies when characters are sent to heaven or another realm and the camera is surrounded by white light. This purity of light is painful to view, but at the same time is somehow pleasing. Contrary to the sad, dark, and cloudy emotions that are associated with black, this white light felt tranquil and serene.

Light Observation

Posted on March 3, 2023 by previousstudent

Date: March 2nd, 2023

Time: 8:30 pm

Outside the 13th-floor kitchen window Estabrook

Objective: View out the window overlooking Long Island towards New York city with the skyline lit up.

Subjective: The skyline lights in the distance have always given me a sense of comfort. The first time I went to the city and saw the skyline at night I fell in love with it. The look of tons of little lights in the distance shows that people are living their lives and that the world is still alive.

Lighting Observation

Wednesday March 1st at 2:40 pm in the Playhouse

The series of lights surrounding the Temple of Wonder drop for State Fair.

The twinkling lights surrounding the heavy drop made it feel magical. After working for hours on the circuits and installation of the lights, taking a seat in the house and just observing the way that the lights moved made the hard work feel worth it. The way that the lights seem to chase each other in a pattern around the fly makes the scenery look alive and is pulling all focus on the bare stage.

Photo from Hotels.com

To me, nightlife is bright, flashy colors all shining together at once. Its not organized and looks a little bit chaotic, but the atmosphere being filled with saturated colors makes it feel dream like. The dim night sky contrasting against the neon signs below it also just brings the night to life and makes you feel alive.

Photo observation #3

Posted on March 2, 2023 by previousstudent

Photo taken by me on 10/19/2022, inside Terminal 5

Theme: Nightlife

Description: This picture was taken at a concert I attended with a close friend, for a band called The Rose. The photo was taken right before they were going to start-around 8 pm that day. Concerts do a good job of showcasing what night life means to me. Concerts are usually the only reason that would push me to stay out that late and forego a good night sleep. There are multiple different colored lighting happening here. All the lights are vibrant pinks, reds, and blues in the otherwise dark venue. There was a lot of movement in the lights coming from the stage which only added to the liveliness and high energy of the place.

Night Life Photo Observation

Taken by me outside the MET Opera

The lights of the city just always speak of nightlife. The many lights from tall buildings in a dark sky, give me a warm feeling. The lights from the Opera house also speak of night life; the feelings of lights in the darkness with groups of people.

Night Life Photo

Posted on March 2, 2023 by previousstudent

From: https://images.app.goo.gl/WBmiud7Q8trN1ohW8

Theme: Night Life

Description: I chose a photo of the Capital One Arena in DC in the middle of an ice hickey game since they all take place at night. Time of the day aside, the lighting fits this theme since the entire arena is dark in the background, the only lights seen are the ones shining on the ice, and the effects stadium managers use to instill energy into the audience and the fans watching from home. Without fun effects and fun lighting in sports games, I feel that the energy would be diminished entirely. Lighting makes lots of things possible, but with vibrant colors and quick changes, it makes sports games a whole lot more fun at night when a lot of people start to lose energy, and become more tired.

Night Life

Posted on March 2, 2023 by previousstudent

Date: February 6th, 2023

Time: 2:04 am

Location: On Las Vegas Blvd

I took this photo in Las Vegas, I was walking on the street with my family. Las Vegas is the best place to represent night life. It’s a magic place which people all having fun there. I like it when it’s night time, because all the light of buildings will light up and shine as morning, but way more beautiful than day time. This hotel names Excalibur, looks very unreal. The complete dark sky makes it feels like it’s photoshop. And the light on the castle, the red and blue roof even makes this picture looks like a dream.

Photo Observation 3

Posted on March 2, 2023 by previousstudent

Theme: night life

Photo taken by me on Sept. 30th, 2022

Concerts feel like the epitome of “night life” to me, maybe just because I attend so many of them. This picture was taken at a concert for a band called The Maine – one of my favorite bands – on The Rooftop at Pier 17 in Manhattan, which is an outdoor venue. The multicolored stage lights mix together into this bluish-purple that is reminiscent of dusk or midnight. That string of lights in the background is the Brooklyn Bridge, and behind that a building with window lights on is visible, but what I find cool about the whole image and particularly those parts is that there’s a slight blur to the lights. It gives the picture a hazy vibe that I think characterizes night life perfectly.
