Using the R80 on the cyc, I made it appear like a summer sky with no clouds. The parnells on the first electric were used to create sunlight illumination as well as give the appearance of sand on the ground. Finally, I used an overhead fresnel for extra modeling.

Date/Time/Location: May 14th/ 5pm/ Eisenhower Park

Objective: The APO Picnic!

Subjective: It almost feels as if there is a greenish-yellow film covering the whole scene. It is a grassy area with an open field in it. The trees are covered with yellow leaves. It is a joyous occasion where everyone is having fun, and the lighting reflects that. It is a sunny, warm day with no clouds in the sky.

Date/Time/Location: May 8th/ 1am/ My House

Objective: I am watching TV late at night.

Subjective: There are no other lights on in the house. The blue light from the tv is the only thing breaking through the shadows. Everything outside of the beam is seen as a silhouette. The colors of the room are constantly changing as different frames flash around the screen.

Date/Time/Location:  May 6th/ 8:00pm/ Off Campus House

Objective: The living room of an off-campus house.

Subjective: There is a pale, blue-ish light emanating by a lamp on an end table. There is a ceiling light in the kitchen that is emanating a light yellow light. Together it is creating an interesting wash of the area, feeling very urban on a dark evening. It feels like a scene from a movie in the early 2000’s.

Date/Time/Location: May 4th/ 4:00pm/ Garden City Town Hall

Objective: A dimly lit hallway.

Subjective: It is creepy. There are old ceiling lights that are white and flickering. The entire hallway is covered in a thin layer of shadow with people constantly walking through. It creates a feeling of mystery and anxiety.

Date/Time/Location: May 1st/ 2:00pm/ The Library

Objective: A window overlooking the south side of campus on the 9th floor.

Subjective: The campus almost looks like it is small, as everything can be clearly seen. The sun is high in the sky illuminating all areas. There are so many trees that it almost looks like a forest. Each tree gives off a vibrant green color, which compliments the light blue color of the sky. It feels almost as if I’m in a different world.

Date/Time/Location: April 27th/ 8pm/ Campus

Objective: The streetlights are lighting the area.

Subjective: Each light has an amber shade that colors the area, giving it an appearance as if the world was being viewed through a sepia lens. It is comforting and calming as opposed to the abrasive essence of the fluorescent lights that can be found in the other parts of campus.

Date/Time/Location: April 20th/ 12pm/ The Pride Pavilion

Objective: A bright, sunny day.

Subjective: There is not a single cloud in the sky, the sun is shining brightly through the trees and leaving little to know shadows. The grass is as vibrant as the freshly spawned leaves on the trees. It is peaceful and energetic. There is a luscious atmosphere, perfect for a day off.

Date/Time/Location: March 10th/ 4:30pm/ Jones Beach

Objective: A sunset on the beach.

Subjective: It is mildly cloudy, the sky has a light gray tone to it. It nearly matches the gray tone of the sand on the beach. The water is dark, with the setting sun’s reflection perfectly projected on it. There is a mirage of red and yellow circulating around the sun, piercing through the clouds. It is reminiscent of the song, “California Dreamin’”, by the Mamas and the Papas.

Date/Time/Location:  March 4th/ 4:00pm/ Eisenhower Park

Objective: The sun is setting in the field.

Subjective: There is a purple horizon as the bright red sun is setting. The sun’s rays stretch across the entire field, cutting through the shadows that are now covering the area. Darkness is quickly coming as the sun goes to its rest.
