I took this picture last semester when I went home for Thanksgiving break. This picture was taken towards the end of the sunset, and I love how it has a more neutral color scheme than the classic purple and pink sunset. The way the orange-to-grey gradient reflects on the water as well is really pretty. The contrast of the shadowy plane and docks also gives a nice contrast to the picture against the lighter orange and grey.

I took this photo on Tel Aviv beach in Israel in January. I’m very fond of sunsets, and my dorm room at Hofstra – where I’ve lived since freshman year – has a west-facing window, so I’m lucky enough to get to see many sunsets behind the Manhattan skyline. Those are pretty, but the sunset on the beach in Tel Aviv was different from what I was accustomed to, which made it more special. I’ve always been intrigued by the quality of a sunset that is both orange and pink and when you say it’s one it seems to appear as the other. In this photo the gradient of the sky from a pale blue-gray to an orangey-yellow to that bright orangey-pink is stunning. The way the light makes the water shine in an almost metallic way, contrasted with the complete lack of reflection from the sandy beach, creates a beautiful image. It also brings back nice memories of my trip to Israel – I was with two close friends when I saw this sunset, and now it will always remind me of them.

Theme: Sunrise/Sunset
I chose this photo since I had the opportunity to see the Eifel Tower in person at both sunrise and sunset the same week. In my opinion it is one of the most majestic structures, and the purple light surrounding it with the warm pink to orange in the background lighting makes it more regal and majestic. The photo transports me to a wedding day being held in a castle with princess story feels, the perfect lighting, perfect weather, and perfect location.

3) THEME: SUNRISE/SUNSET
4) DESCRIPTION: This photo depicts the epitome of a winter sunrise in Atlanta: a mix of bright, warm colors washing away the cool tones of night. The clouds glow coral orange from the sun shining as it rises from beneath the skyline of houses. I think this photo is especially interesting lighting-wise because of the street lamp’s radiating glow; this displays the true earliness of the morning, as the remnants of darkness have not completely faded away. The way the clouds fan out from the sun reminds me of physical sun rays, almost reaching out to spread its light. It feels hopeful; like taking the first sip of coffee, feeling the softness of the rug next to my bed on my feet, and picking up my bags as I get ready for the coming day.

THEME: Sunset
DESCRIPTION: The overlook of the small city is cascaded by a gradient in the sky. the majority of the sky still filled with a blue daylight sky. split by a cream colored cloud, the bottom of the sky takes on an orange hue that signals the sun going down for its daily rest

3) THEME: Sunrise/Sunset
4) DESCRIPTION: This photo showcases a classic Long Island sunset. The sun is positioned in the middle of the photo and is the focal point of the photo. Surrounding the sun is a circle of bright yellow light. The intensity of the sun causes a light orange lens flare. The sky is a variety of different colors including yellow, orange, green and blue. These colors all work in harmony with one another. The colors are extremely intense near the sun and become less-saturated the farther they move away from the sun. The light from the sun illuminates portions of the clouds, making them appear pink and offering some contrast. The sunset scene is reflected in the windows of the residence hall pictured.

2) THEME: Sunset/Sunrise
3) DESCRIPTION: The sun glistens over the horizon, peeking through flat clouds, wishing a good night to the creatures that live below and kissing the still water as a good morning to the nocturnal beauties arising. Shading the path in the grass, it gates the bay in safety, keeping strangers out with its coming darkness. The light still remaining ripples down the center of the water– a sparkling path to the land. Its amber beam splits the bay, radiating a salmon glow that gradates into a purplish-blue. The lavender and blushing streaks of sky will soon make way for black as the setting sun says its last goodbyes.
1- This is a sunset photo I took on the docs right by my house in Ocean City New Jersey on November 15th 2019 at 5:36
2 – Sunrise/Sunset
3 – Looking at this picture, you can see as the water acts as a mirror reflecting what seems like almost a perfect replica of the sky above. The Rippling across the water shows just how to face the water goes. The red and yellow colors bring the idea of warmth to my mind even though I remember being cold when taking the picture. Also, I think the shadows that are cast from the cloud onto the water are beautiful.
