The picture on the left is a dorm on campus and the different styles of light and shadow that I found interesting. Additionally, I also liked the stark color contrast between the dull yellow/gray of the dorm, the blue of the sky, and the green of the trees. In particular, I found that the lighting on the left side of the dorm created a different mood than the dorm wall in the center of the photo. On the right, the atmosphere is lighter and brighter, while in the center, the lighting is, more somber and gloomy. Each wall has a distinct feel to it, and I think these walls are a great example of how mood and atmosphere can play a pivotal role in stage lighting. I would imagine that a lighting designer would be able to play around with the Roco swatchbook and find two colors that convey a different mood, then add gobos and other effects to their liking. Also, you could use the colors of the ivy to create an even more realistic mood, setting, etc.
The picture on the right is from the top of the building on the left. I wanted to show this because of the way the light hit the roof, and the way it hit the window. I think the window had a bunch of spider webs on it too, so the web made the light seem thicker and heavier. This is another example of what I find interesting about light, especially when seen through a different lens.
Ooooh these are great photos! Such interesting textures created from the light and angles of shadows on the walls! Love the long shadows of the trees on the building on the left, and love the subtle dapples on the image to the right. And you're right the spider web is kind of acting like a weird blurry filter, fuzzing out the light and focus. Love the difference in the two walls in the picture on the left too. The one that is getting hit directly by the sun is so much brighter and flatter than the wall that is getting the more shadowy streaks of light. Great images and commentary!
