Jesus Cambero Lighting Blog Week 10



For this week's blog, I took a picture of the view of my neighborhood. I have a lot of trouble sleeping at times, so I went for a drive a couple nights ago and went to a hill that I have been going to since I was in middle school and took a picture of it. This view looks amazing in daylight, but it looks marvelous when its night time. In the night time, You see lights coming from different places. Whether they are fluorescents, streetlights, traffic lights, porch lights, car lights, or lights coming from buildings, this pictures shows that they are working together to create this image. I thought this kind of aligns how we use certain lighting instruments to create the image we have on our heads in theatre. How we use parcans, lekos, shins, fresnels, and other instruments to create our image. I thought this would make a great post since we are in the verge of expanding our creative minds. Learning to use different instruments at a different intensity to tell our stories. We are developing our lighting mind to present what we believe will get the message across our audience.

P.S.

I also added another picture that shows you how it looks like in the daytime so you can see the difference!

    I really like this picture since without knowing that there is a city in the background, it just looks like random specks of light that can be anything

    Love this image! So iconic! Looks like an 80's movie or something! Beautiful twinkling lights so tiny in the distance! Love the difference between the daytime/nighttime shots too. Nice commentary!

    This picture is such an incredible on/off. But I can definitely tell that the contrast in both pictures are marvelously pleasing to the eye. I like how in the night version, you can not even see the mountains and the city, but just a horizon of lights. The day version is nice as well, especially when the sun is setting and you can see the horizon of an ombre of colors.

Rosalie Dierking - Lighting Post week 2

The other day I went to a concert at LA Live in downtown and when I went to use the bathroom in one of the nearby hotels, I had to go through this hallway. I was taken aback by how simple and elegant the lighting was. The way the white marble flooring reflects the geometric lights is really gorgeous! I love the choice of warm colors they made and how it make the room feel very cozy despite geometric designs typically making architectural lighting feel more harsh and uninviting (compared to other softer lighting choices). My favorite part of this whole hallway is how they managed to light it in a way that draws your eyes to the painting at the end which helps make it the focus piece of the room. -Rosie

Thalia Hendrick Week 14

For my last blog I decided to choose something more close to home. I have always had a fascination for nature and have always loved seeing blooms from outside my window. This picture was taken last week when I was home writing a paper. I noticed that the sun was setting and a beautiful golden wash was placed over a rose bush I had outside. Since the curtains inside my home were closed, there was no light being let into the room. I thought this image in particular was beautiful because of the contrast of light and darkness in the image. Although there is no light inside the room, it is still being bounced off of the brick wall and other things outside to illuminate part of the doorway and curtain. The blue sky is a beautiful gradient of blue and adds liveliness to the image. I also thought the red of the roses added character to the golden amber and greens in the picture. It brings out such softness when the light from the sunset is very harsh.  Entirely, I loved this image for ev...

Arturo Gonzalez Week 6

Week 6 This week's photo was a picture taken of my car dashboard. I was sitting in my car parked underneath a light as I was about to go into work. I found the combination of colors from where I was reclined very interesting. On the inside there was different Amber glows made by the light coming from above. Outside it was sunset, the sky had a blue ombre color that went from dark to light. The thing that came to my mind when I first saw this was the picture projects and how these saturated colors resembled that of the gels on the lighting fixtures in class and how it would look to replicate on stage. It is also interesting how this combination of natural light with  artificial light blended so beautifully. This moment was unique because it described a specific time of day seen in the shadows and light. It would have been something entirely different at a different time of day or different location. And yes to complimentary colors, I have enjoyed being more aware of light as it...
