Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1. Theme: Summer
2. Attributes: March 26th 6:51 pm, Arizona
3. Description: I took this photo because it reminded me of summer. Arizona tends to have a summer that arrives early and leaves late. The colors in the sunset are so rich and warm. The sun looks somehow hotter and brighter now that it is so low in the sky. It feels like the lighting at the tail end of a barbeque as the last of the burgers have been pulled off the grill and all of the kids are wrapped in towels with dripping hair eagerly waiting for their parent to make them a plate of food. The perfect lighting for a family dinner in a backyard.

1. Theme: Surreal
2. Attributes: March 30, 6:15, LIRR
3. Description: This is a photo I took while reading on the train home. I liked the way the sun was pouring on to my book and the seats in front of me. The temperature outside was cold of the lighting on the train felt like a warm summer afternoon. The lighting almost seems too crisp, too warm, too bright, where it’s realistic because it did in fact happen but also seems surreal like there is something artificial about the overall lighting.

I was driving home from work and the lighting seemed to split the sky in two distinct categories. On the left, grey, blue clouds hung low in the air with small streams of soft golden yellow peering through. On the right the sky is deep bright blue without a cloud in sight. The sun in behind me, but there is a large shadow on the road in front of me because two semi trucks are behind me blocking the rays of the sun. It is interesting to see how the sun lights the sky above without lighting the road in front.

On the LIRR coming home from the city and the sun has set behind the buildings but the sky is still lit up and colorful. There are pink and orange fluffy clouds in a deep purple sky. The bottom line of the horizon is a very bright orange from the colors of the last of the day’s sun. The atmosphere feels warm and comforting.

3. Sitting in a parked car adjusting take out boxes and noticed the bright blue from the radio lighting up the center console of the car. The digital clock is slightly less bright and a pale teal/green. In from of the car is the neon sign for a sushi restaurant and the moon is blocked by the roof of the car but is slighting above and ahead to brightly light the dashboard. The usually dark grey fabric is now a silver ish brown and the pattern is very clearly discernible.

2. Parkway towards Long Island from Brooklyn
3. The sun was still high in the sky, making the sky seem a deeper, brighter blue than usual this late in the afternoon. The warmth of the colors contradicts the temperature outside. The green street signs are reflecting a beam of white light back at me; bouncing off the car in front of me.

2. Description: A model stands in front of a yellow background he is almost equally lit from all angles though slightly less intensity coming from stage left as there is a shadow on the left side of his face as well as behind him.

1. St Patrick’s Day, Google Images
2. I felt this photo was a good representation of lighting for St. Patrick’s Day because not only was it taken in an Irish pub, but there is also a green hue on all of the faces of the patrons. The atmosphere is lively and warm while also delineating that fact that it is night time outside. The light strips behind and to the side of the people at the tables reflects off of the ceiling and the glassware on the bar. There is a white light source directly in front of the people nearest the camera which makes them more easily visible than the people behind them.

2. Singular artificial light source
3. I chose this photo because the light from the lamp is actually sort of harsh in color and brightness but the resulting light on the table and the book and wall, is much softer and warm while still being bright. I think it’s interesting that a light itself can look one way and the way the items are lit can look completely different.
