Objective: 4:00 PM, outside of the hofstra library, I noticed the sunlight reflecting off of the library windows and it was very warm.
Subjective: The warm light reflecting off of the windows made me feel invited and welcomed at this school. I had a moment of gratitude and it evoked a very inviting and nice tone.
This photo is taken by Nate Smith from google. I chose this because the lighting seemed surreal, almost like a UFO was landing.
Objective: As we stroll down the street, sunlight gleams off the facades of the buildings, illuminating our path toward the Empire State Building.
Subjective: The sun boldly announces the morning. Even though the buildings tower high, obscuring direct sunlight, we still feel the strength of its rays reflecting off the glass windows.
Objective: I was walking on campus and noticed the light on the trees around me were moving with the wind in the leaves.
Subjective: The moving lights in the trees were like gobos as I was dancing through the forest, imagining I was performing on stage, as if it were a magical light cue.
4/4/24
I chose this ad by ELF because of the interesting reflection of light off of the football. This seems to be artificial, because I’m not sure a football can reflect light in that way.
I took this photo on 3/27/24, of my bedside “sunset” lamp. The single source artificial light is reflected off of a hanging disco ball on my wall, cascading light across the room.
Objective: I was on FaceTime with my friend, and noticed movement through the reflection of the microwave in front of me. I immediately jumped and screamed, assuming it was a person in my house. It was indeed my own shadow.
Subjective: The reflection of the movement on the microwave sent a shock of shivers down like in a horror movie. I screamed bloody murder, accepting that of my own fate. For that split second, my mind raced like a horse of all the possibilities that could happen.
3/7 Lighting Observation
Objective: I was driving down a long, sun-lit road in Garden City. The pavement was lit by the sun, but covered in shadows from moving cars and the surrounding trees on either side of the road.
Subjective: The country music blaring in my car mixed with the bright sunshine created a music video-like scene in my mind. As I was driving, I pictured such a music video with myself in the car, (but probably a convertible), and the sunlight just shining down on me and my car, creating a vibrant and happy scene that was totally Hollywood.
Bizzare
I took this photo at an art exhibit in NYC in 2021. It was bizarre to me because of the way the projections created an immersive experience for the art being displayed. There were a lot of illusions that made the viewer forget that they were inside of a box-like room with projectors.
