The Theme is Cold
The snow in its darkest times represents the fear of the unknown; when the sun rises, it becomes more tolerable and heartwarming as the fear is gone. Snow represents the life of it all knowing that everything will be alright.
Picture taken by me
I took this picture while skiing at Mount Sunapee in New Hampshire. It is very obviously cold in this picture; my family went in the middle of January, and there was actually fresh snow on the ground, not just from the snow blowers. In particular, it was super fogged over and snowy that day, so the lighting was dark, which made the picture look even colder. Especially with the snow, fog, and the dark green trees, there are no warm tones at all, and I cand remember how cold this day was from looking at this picture.
Photo taken by me
This photo was taken on the island Inisheer, one of the Aran Islands located off the coast of Ireland. This was actually the first day of true Irish weather while I was there, so it was chilly and windy. I think this photo represents cold lighting well because the sky and the ocean have the same gray-ish blue color, and there’s no sun visible. The ocean doesn’t look very welcoming, but rather cold and choppy.

Theme:Cold
Description: This photo is of Snow scene in the Nutcracker performed by Nevada Ballet Theatre. I really like the use of lighting here making it feel like they are in a chilly winter wonderland which not all Nutcrackers really achieve.

Cold
The white light mixed with a tint of blue taking over this space makes it feel cold and barren. It feels like an abandoned and mysterious place. The absence of light also plays an important part in this picture because the darkness creeping around the edges of the frame make my mind associate this with nighttime which is colder.

Theme: Cold
Description: I chose this photo because the lighting and operation of cryo therapy chambers make everything around them far below freezing. The cold makes it so that your body’s survival instinct kicks in, and blood flow and chemicals in your body start changing, and once you step out they slowly return to normal. The lighting encompasses this same cold feeling, the blues in the background and the white with hints of blue from above the chamber bring out the smoke. Everything is made to look like ice, and the lighting sells that feeling even more.

Theme: Cold
I wanted to find something evocative of coldness that could easily appear warm with only a simple lighting change. Searching for basements and warehouses eventually lead me to this image. What drew me to it most was how simple it was. It is just a pretty typical industrial warehouse loading dock, seen from inside. There are only two sources of light, both of which are visible. The first is the sunlight that is blowing out the highlights on the windows, which is a stark white point in the image. The next is the overhead fluorescent tubes that you can spot in the upper left corner, but which more than likely cover the entire ceiling of this room. These lights are both tuned toward a very cool temperature, but only slightly. It might be a trick of the camera, but regardless it has a serious effect. What should be white light has an almost silvery/blue twist to it. The lack of color also helps sell the effect — with most of the image being made up of various grays. Although not directly related to lighting, the surface materials and texture add to the effect. The semi-reflective concrete feels like a garage or a basement, something you would not want to walk on without some good shoes and a warm pair of socks. Aside from that feeling, it also feels cold in the sense that is seems pretty lifeless. There are no human subjects, and no interesting objects. Everything you see in the image was created to serve a solely practical purpose, a byproduct of some industry that demanded things like garage doors and pallet jacks and tightly wrapped bundles of boxes shoved into the backs of trailers. Not exactly a place you would want to hang out or spend time with friends.

Theme: cold
Description: Everything about this photo is cold to me. Not only does it depict a scene we know would be frigid in temperature, but the lighting drives home the feeling. The snow is so white, and though it makes the photo brighter, it does so without warmth – and I mean that in the sense that certain colors can be warm, and this photo contains none of them. The starkness of the dark trees against the pure white surroundings, including that blank, featureless sky, suggest cold simply by removing the possibility of sunlight. There is nothing in this picture to provide warmth, even in some small way.

Theme: Cold
I visited my sister at Penn State over the holiday weekend and experience the colder climate she endures on a daily bases. To me the tones in the sky demonstrate a crisp winter morning. In the foreground the sky is a richer, deeper blue. Whereas in the back it fades to a softer, lighter shade of blue. The fade from blue to white gives the sense that it gets colder as the sky continues, getting closer and closer to the color of snow. Additionally, there is an evenly distributed bright light with cool tones, making the moment feel even crisper. In contrast, the lines creating the shadows are sharp and harsh, again giving a cooler feeling.

3) THEME: COLD
4) DESCRIPTION: The bleak landscape fades into the distance, obscured by the frigid, ever-thickening fog. I chose this image because I think the coloring and lighting of the image is really interesting and demonstrates the theme of COLD well. The gradient created by the lighting, with the dark, almost monochromatic lower-left corner fading into the burst of color in the blue sky and hazy green field. It displays the idea of winter pushing the warm, temperate weather away, and because of this, it feels transitional. The frost on the ground towards the side of the road reflects the bright daylight and glows around the bases of the trees.
