Light Observation 1 (Week 3)
1) Monday night around midnight, my room
2) A desk lamp illuminating our dorm room, reflecting off the wall
3) A few minutes before going to sleep, my roommate turned on his the lamp on his desk which he seldom uses. It was pointed downward limiting the light it emitted. It created a very soft, warm, yellowish light in the front corner of the room. The rest of the room was dark and shadowy due to the limited light. The lamp light reminded me of the type of light cast by a solitary candle in a dark room. It only provided light close to the source but quickly faded. The casing of the lamp has slits in it, possibly to limit how hot it got, but the light streamed onto the wall through these slits creating an interesting sharp pattern of light and shadow on the wall. It creating a feeling of comfort and peace, and creating a soothing atmosphere before I fell asleep.
