I took this photo while walking on campus. It is a sunny day
and I am standing under a cluster of trees. This reminded me of the photo we
saw in class of a production where the stage was treated with light coming
through trees. The color of the incandescent lights coming through the netting
on stage made the stage look magical and the light felt inviting and whimsical.
Though this was a sunny day and the image has a cheerful
daytime quality, it made me think of how the mood could be changed with a different
color light. The shadows in the photo are very dark and overwhelming. If the
light were a blue/gray or a red it would create a very scary and dramatic
effect. This made me understand the importance of color choices because they
influence emotion and atmosphere so much.
Great commentary and beautiful photo! I love the natural lighting and organic shapes being cast! Even a subtle shift of the sunlight color to one of those cooler tints would greatly change the mood and overall temperature of the atmosphere in this photo. Great work!
