Week 7- Arlo Walks- KM

 

All of the pictures in this post are from my evening walk with Arlo. What I enjoy most about these first three photos is the contrast in color between the last orange glow of the sunset and the beginning of the cool night creeping in. It is hard to tell through the cell phone pictures but in real life the night sky was very purple, providing a perfect contrast to the orange. These images remind me of how were have continually talked in class about using warm and cool colored light together to make affective lighting schemes. 

This is Arlo. He is very patient while I stop and take pictures of the sky and street lights. I enjoy in this picture the way the colors of the sky are washed out but you can still see hints of purple and orange, lifting us know the time of day. I also enjoy the two street lights shinning through as spot lights. 

I got a little carried away with my pictures this week  but when you start to search for light you notice it everywhere. I really enjoy in this picture the way the single street light is partially illuminating the tree beside it. In real life,  the light from the street lamp allows you to see the reddish tint of the leaves on tree changing in fall. It is also interesting the way the back light from the setting sun allows us to see the scene around us, but the focal point of the picture is the one bright street lamp in the forefront. 

Finally, here are a few houses I passed that I felt had effective, warm, and inviting front porch lights. They make think of holiday dinners with family and the anyone is welcome to come inside.
