On my way to class the other day, I noticed the way the sun was setting after the storm and I thought the light behind the clouds just looked interesting. I find it amusing how the sun can shine through the clouds. I Learned in a middle school art class that at certain points of sunset and sunrise you can see multiple colors in the sky but the main ones we see are white, yellow, and orange

There is yet another thunderstorm in Winter Park today and I'm watching a puppy for the weekend since I'm a Rover dog sitter. She hid under the couch once the thunder started and I to use my phones flashlight to see her and I got a big ol reflection of dog eyes, she's a Boston Terrier so it was a little bit funny to see. One eye shined off as blue while the other shined off as whitefish yellow

I am a dog sitter on Rover.com and one of my requirements is to send pictures to the owners, I'm currently doing two bookings at one, and the pictures I take end up going on my profile. I had to wait for a storm to pass in order for the natural light to enter my home or else you wouldn't be able to see the little black dog on the brown sofa.

I get really frustrated when I try to take a picture of something thats laminated or sealed in a way and the lights from above me glare on it. I recently bought this game and was trying to take a picture but no matter where I placed it, the lights above me glared onto it.

I'm babysitting a 5 month old baby for a friend at Full Sail. She rarely gets fussy but when she does, she has a play mat that she lays on and it has toys above for her to grab. When she plays with them they light up. It normally calms her down immediately. I find it interesting how a few blinking and colorful lights can soothe a child so easily, they range from blue to yellow, I wonder is she is responding to the lights themselves or the colors.

One thing I hate about Fl is that all the interiors in every apartment have beige walls and white woodwork. I think that this makes the house look dingy and dirty no matter what, when natural light enters my house, it isn't as bright as it could be, even in my room with a  lot of windows. When I have artificial light, the dingy walls show more and the light doesn't reflect off of them and the room looks yellow and dark.

We've all seen these types of sentences when we want to order something online. About how the color may differ from computer monitor screen and from different lighting used. I noticed that again today when I was looking at my cello. First let me include a stock photo.
In case you were wondering, Yes I have a pink cello, and yes it is perfect.
Now here is what the cello looks like out of the box and in a normal lighting
HUGE color difference right? Now I almost sent it back the day I got it because I was confused as to why it wasn't the same shade of pink as it was on the website. But I saw that pesky sentence that says "actual color may vary in light" or something similar
So I decided to just give it a chance and just use it in different environments.



Yes this is the exact same cello. Just underneath a white harsh light. Lighting can make a huge difference in appearance surprisingly. SO beware when you read that "Actual color may vary" when you purchase online

Ever since I've moved in here i've talked about how I hate that the walls are a dirty beige and the woodwork/doors are an off white. Since most of our lamps aren't fluorescent white, and more of a yellow tone, I always feel like the house looks dingy and dirty since it bounces off the carpet. But thats just my personal OCD issues and no one else seems to notice. During the day, when we have natural lighting, I don't notice it as much. Only when we have to turn on the lights in the evening.

with the light on

I recently drove a 7 hour drive back from Georgia and as I was in the passenger seat, I began to notice more and more lights and how bright and dim each car light was. It was kind of obvious to tell who needed to change their cars headlights and who needed to turn off their highlights. But there were also moments in the trip where as I entered FL that with my highlights on I was able to see the FL fog and humidity laying close to the ground, but when I switched back to low lights it was almost impossible to notice it

I live with my boyfriend and he's been out of town this past week, So i had the bedroom to myself. He asked me to update his computer and that it had to stay on for the night. I noticed as I was trying o sleep, even though everything in the room was pitch dark, the blue light that came off of his computers desktop shined brighter than ever, and this is something I never noticed before, and it could have been because I was the only one in the room. It looked like a blueberry shade of blue and it irritated me so much I had to put a sheet over it, even after that it still shined through. Once I threw an extra blanket on it, it completely went dark thankfully.

I work at a coffeehouse and we recently had an art showing. The lights that were facing this area the cafe were LEDs and were placed on a subtle blue color and even after white balancing, a lot of the pictures and people came out with a hint not blue which was amazing in my opinion.

  Heres the artist and everything looked

fine until I decided to use the flash

Then When I used the flash the light reverted back to blue.

I found that the Sonny's light was insanely bright but it caught your eye very easily and I wonder if they made it such a harsh red color for that purpose. Because the sign is a subtle white, but you can spot the red from far far away. Maybe its to make people come towards the restaurant and you can easily identify it.

I work the sound at a local cafe in Winter Park, and normally we have a very white light on the stage during our shows, When ever I attempt to take a picture with my phone, the light comes out as a slight blue and the people on stage look purple. When I white balance with a DSLR everyone appears like an actual human rather than a sick alien

Also at DragonCon Atlanta, I found a Daenarys cosplay from Game of Thrones. I attempted to take a picture of her but the light in the building was very yellow. If you look closely you can see how easily the glare form the lights bounces off of her skin at certain areas, I think the wash of light also made her makeup completely disappear, in person, she had fake dirt smeared over her arms and face, but in the picture, the light completely gets rid of it. I think its due to the fluorescents of the lights in the building and since they were so yellow and artificial

I worked at DragonCon Atlanta this labor day weekend and This guys cosplay as a ghostbuster was the best one out of all the ghostbuster cosplays I saw. His pack had actual moving pixel, moving lights that read "Who Ya Gonna Call?" and he had lights that were blinking and actually working. I asked him how he made it and he had said that he did all of the wiring himself. Even when he used the vacuum pump, it had a lamp turn on inside of the nozzle.

I was in lab and we had two fresnels right next to each other and one lamp was brighter than the other. Even when changing the intensities, the lamp on the right was far brighter and harsher than the one on the left. They were the same type of fresnel but I think one lamp was older so it wasn't as bright, even when it was full.

I noticed that in certain lighting my hair looks to be different in different shades. My hair is mostly blonde in the front now but even with the subtle hints of blue, in fluorescent lighting or indoor lighting It looks like a green color rather than blue. But in the outdoor lighting You can clearly see the blue color. But when I'm under a white LED, it completely washes away the color and all you see is the blonde and my natural black hair. I wonder if this is because the LED can be very harsh of if because my blonde hair tends to bounce off more light unlike my black hair which absorbs it.

Since I'm redoing this class, I began to notice little things about the room that began to bother me, such as the light in the projector. Sometimes it looks purple and sometimes it looks blue, depending on the slide that is being projected. I guess after almost two months of this class the little things really stand out lighting wise

The lights in an airport vary depending on the time of day. I'm staying in MCO a few hours before my flight since I had to catch the last bus of the night and I arrived around 9pm. The lights were all on and bright, most of the shops began to close so I sat and used my computer to get done some classwork. Around 11 or so the main lights in the food court shut off and every single light in store went out. Starting at 11 till 11:30 I noticed that the recessed lighting began to dim more and more subtly until it stopped and stayed where they were. The airport is now extremely calm and I noticed that if the brighter lights would have been on, that it would feel pretty empty since there aren't people constantly running around the airport.
