Lighting Observation

2) ATTRIBUTES: Photo is an “off-guard” taken by my roommate in our dorm room.

3) THEME: Romance

4) DESCRIPTION: The lens flare on the photo creates a rainbow over a portion of the photo. The rainbow is commonly used as a symbol for “love for all” and particularly represents love in the LGBTQ+ community. The white light shining in through the window encapsulates me in the photo, similar to how romances overtakes mine and many others lives.

Lighting Observation

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: February 11th 2021 at 7:48AM. At my desk in my dorm room.

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light coming from my LED desk lamp. The lamp provides a powerful ring of white LED light instead of a soft beam of light common with traditional desk lamps.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The beaming LED light is intense and unforgiving. The artificial bright light illuminates my desk and casts harsh shadows on my stationary items. At times the light is sickening; almost “too clean.” The lighting makes me feel extremely alert and awake.

Photo Observation

2) ATTRIBUTION: This photo was taken by me in my room on the 12th floor of my residence hall. It was taken on January 20th 2021 at 4:58PM.

3) THEME: Sunrise/Sunset

4) DESCRIPTION: This photo showcases a classic Long Island sunset. The sun is positioned in the middle of the photo and is the focal point of the photo. Surrounding the sun is a circle of bright yellow light. The intensity of the sun causes a light orange lens flare. The sky is a variety of different colors including yellow, orange, green and blue. These colors all work in harmony with one another. The colors are extremely intense near the sun and become less-saturated the farther they move away from the sun. The light from the sun illuminates portions of the clouds, making them appear pink and offering some contrast. The sunset scene is reflected in the windows of the residence hall pictured.
