Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1.) From digital-photography-school.com

2.) Happy

3.) I love the golden quality of the light in this photo, that golden light that comes through after rain is probably my absolute favorite light ever! It’s so beautiful and happy! The sun is shining and the grass is green with new life  and the rainbow dips in gently adding to the vibrant colors of this happy, quaint and peaceful scene.

2) I took this photo in Buchart Gardens in Canada.

3) Theme: Happy

4) I believe the lighting in this photo is happy.  I like the way the light shines from right to left and the light is of a clear and crisp quality.  The light is slightly yellow, which creates a happy feeling since yellow light can be associated with warmth and happiness.  The light in this picture is also bright and not dull, dark, grey or black.  With that in mind it seems to me as though The light in this picture actually brings out the color in the flowers and I believe that to be a happy quality.  I think happy light should bring out the best features compared to green light and dark light which would hide those features.  The light in this picture has a little bit, in my opinion, of a fantastical feel.  I mean to say that the light makes you feel as though your in a fantasy.  Lastly I really like how the light hits the trees in this photo and think it really make the trees come alive.

2) Found from googling hot air balloons

3) Happy Photo

4) This photo of hot air balloons struck me as happy for a few reasons. First, the light is bright and crisp, it’s probably a great day for flying balloons. The sunlight is lighting up the whole valley and mountainside illuminating many verdant shades of green. It seems like a warm sunny morning where people are outside working or playing. The light is brightly reflecting off of each of the balloons showing all their rich colors. I think hot air balloons themselves create a whimsical and light-hearted mood that everyone can feel. Seeing a hot air balloon, slowly drifting through the sky, is enough to make me smile. The playful colors and idea of languidly watching the passing countryside makes me happy.
