Cloudy Skies

My last lighting blog! I have to say I was extremely excited to take this class. As a dancer and performer I have been performing onstage basically my entire life, but even though dancing is what I've focused on and always wanted to do I have also always wanted to learn more about the lighting aspect. There is so much that goes into lighting it is amazing, and after taking this class I have a whole new appreciation for lighting and a massive amount of respect for lighting designers. So without further ado, here's my last light blog:


I took this picture while walking to UTC from the Arts area. What really caught my attention was the clouds in the sky. You can't really tell in this picture, but the clouds were so intensely defined in the sky it was almost scary. I felt like if I were close enough to them I could actually physically touch them. It looked like the light in the sky was coming from these clouds since the sun wasn't where I was looking while taking this picture.


Again another driving picture... I really should stop doing that. This was taken on my favorite part of the drive down to my hometown in Carlsbad. Usually the sky is pretty clear but there's always a light, whether dim or bright, shining onto the water. But today it was so picturesque! The clouds were so completely beautiful, it looked like a huge fluffy cotton ball was pulled apart and strewn across the sky in front of me. And that small little patch of light shining down seems so divine and powerful yet peaceful.

  1. Oh my goodness that first picture is so crystal clear! They look so solid! and stunning sky picture in the second! I'm so glad you feel you learned a bit about the lighting designer's world. :) light and dance are two powerful forms of expression! Especially when they go well together!
