I'm always amazed at how the clouds react to the sun, but there are some moments in particular where I just HAVE to take a picture. I was on the freeway headed towards a rehearsal and then one of those moments just had to happen. Lets take a second to acknowledge that I'm driving on a freeway taking a picture of the sky because it's THAT beautiful. Okay. Not safe. But look at how pretty the picture came out! (Nothing compared to the actual thing though...)
In this photo, you can see that the clouds were acting as a filter for the sun as it was setting. I loved the contrasting colors that ended up coming through. The bright oranges with the lavender tones reminded me of our lessons in pleasing the eye. My eyes are definitely pleased in this photo because the lavender is acting as the cool and the orange, obviously the warm. Another reason I like this photo so much is the angles. All the clouds have slightly different angles, some being harsh diagonal lines while others more horizontal. This keeps the image interesting to the eye, which is a nice reminder as far as design goes. I like the idea of using angles in future designs to attract the audiences eyes to specific spots on the stage. The sun never seems to stop giving me ideas on how to use lighting in my designs, but I guess that's not very surprising since the sun is the ULTIMATE LIGHT SOURCE.
That's all folks!

Beautiful, while not safe, photo :)
ReplyDeleteNice analysis of the color and angle - great source material for future compositions
