Lighting Observation #6
Date/Time/Location: March 17 at 12:15 am in my dorm
Objective Description: My desk lamp shining on my desk (particularly on a packaged Hot & Spicy bowl of ramen)
Subjective Description: The desk lamp shines on my ramen bowl specifically. There are other things it hits, of course–a few papers, my mask, a water bottle–but the Hot & Spicy ramen is particularly in focus. The light of the lamp is ever so slightly warmer than my ceiling light, so I much prefer it even though it is darker. The ambience it gives the room is very cozy and warm. A sort of softness the ceiling light is unable to provide. It feels like the kind of light you could curl up in a blanket with a loved one under and watch a really crappy tv show. But in this case, it seems more to be putting a strange amount of emphasis on my uneaten bowl of ramen than to be making my room super nice and cozy. It’s really bright on the packaging, drawing my attention further towards the bright, almost garish colors on the ramen rather than helping me relax into the warmth the lack of bright light provides the room
