Over my winter break, I attended this particular event/show and I was able to capture this magnificent photo that I haven't noticed how awesome it looked until I took this lighting design class! It is so incredible now that I have more insight on what kind of light it is and what is the purpose of these lights. I'm not sure if this is a correct photo to post up because it seems like everyone's photos are more natural lights. If so, I apologize, but I do think this photo is intriguing to look at because it makes me wonder why the performer wanted this certain color and type of light, and certain way of presenting to the audience. What was very amazing about this photo, now that I have a sense what light is what, the green and blue laser lights have more of a purpose rather than the cloud/fog looking lights in the back, which makes me think... "the laser lights are more sharp which means they are "Leko" lights and the fog/blurring lights are "Fresnel/Parcan" lights?!" I apologize if I'm wrong, but I was thinking that as I examined more about this picture. This picture makes me feel very.. "cool and breezing." I think that is because the "Fresnel/Parcan" lights covered the whole arena, like how it would cover a whole stage, gave me a cold temperature feeling. The laser lights made me feel very minting. It is so fascinating to know certain colors and lights determine one's mood and I really think by learning more about this subject, I am able to understand a different side of "art." I apologize again if my terminology is incorrect, please correct me if I'm wrong, and for the upside down panda in the picture.
You are right, it is an incredibly dymanic photo and regardless of what the intent was, you came away with specific emotions, whether you knew at the time it was motivated by the light or not
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are looking at things in a different "light" now.
Continue to look at your world in this way and the class will pay off more and more
Nice post
