This is light through the blinds in my room across my dresser. I thought it was interesting because it was so directional and well defined. We often use goboes in the theater to imitate light through blinds, but I rarely see the narrow striations and fade from top to bottom in artificial imitations of this effect. The other interesting part of this image has to do with color interactions between light on lit. Even though we know sunlight has a blue color to it, one could be forgiven for seeing this image and deciding the sun was golden or yellow. Contrasting the lit dresser, the skull, or the box of soda to the dark dresser reveals just how important lighting is to creating visually appealing scenes. For even more contrast her is the same shot by fluorescent light at night:
In my opinion the sunlight provides the "best" visual experience of a dresser, but each has their own message.
oh this is fabulous! Love the texture and variation in the blinds...also love the difference in color tone, the sunlight really brightens and brings out the color and wood texture in the dresser! nice!
