Week 6: Obsession
When I got home around 5pm today, the sinking daylight hitting the hallway door in my apartment really caught my attention. The contrast between the incandescent interior light coming from a single fixture in my bedroom, and the cool evening light washed over the door got me thinking about the layering of sources and how those sources can work together in a composition.
I then decided to turn off the interior light inside the room in order to see how the natural light hitting the door would shift, or if it would shift at all. And it did! These photos were taken within seconds of each other, yet with the interior light on the natural source appears cool. Then with the interior light off, the natural source loses saturation and the intensity looks like it increased. How cool!
In the past weeks I have been focusing on exterior inspirations for these blogs, so catching this interesting alteration of light inside my own apartment made me think about a theatrical set and how a natural source can be such an integral part of a composition.

Bit of a stretch, but at this point, at least you guys are doing blogs ;) And it's a really neat comment on photography too...and how the camera picks up light and focuses on the foreground and background. I love how warm light makes blues look bluer...it's the whole contrasting colors making each other pop! Nice!
