Let there be Light

Exploration Number 3: Light

Collect objects based on how they reflect light. List the different qualities such as reflective, translucent, refracting, mottled, etc. (try to collect 30 objects). -- Alternate: Light vision. Start to pay attention to light patterns, reflections, and projections. Consider they are everywhere. Document them.

I did a little bit of both ... indicating some qualities and light patterns. Here's my museum of images relevant to the assignment:


~ Bokeh of colorful, hexagon-shaped patterns


~ A given: Spherical reflection on mirrored surface


~ Clouds and nearby building reflecting on water's surface


~ Sun's reflective glimmer on water's surface with sprinkles of hexagonal bokeh light


~ Patterns of light projected through the railings, offering contrast to the shadows


~ Light projected through the leaf onto the sidewalk, leaving an interesting pattern of light and shadows


~ Lit lamp refracting on the glass sliding door, giving it the appearance of floating on my flowered "spring" sign


~ The backlighting brings out the plant's highlights


~ The surface of the spiderweb reflects iridescent light

As a photographer and visual artist, I found this assignment an easy and fun one.

  2. You and Laura make this exercise seem so easy. I guess it comes from your natural photographic talents. Great work with the shadows. I think most of us don't even notice the shadows most times :)
