i have a really major thing about light i really love certain ambient lighting conditions, and i don't understand why. it's mainly outdoor ambient light, for example when we had the solar eclipse a few years back - the lighting outside was MAD! it also applies to video/photos. i LOVE the work of Chris Cunningham because of the use of filters and lighting in his work, i also like Mark Romanek for his work on One Hour Photo (even though the film was really slow, it was shot brilliantly) does anyone else have the same liking as me? |

i like comfort lighting. |

yeah, some of the best creativity for visual media comes from imaginative use of light. i'm always noticing interesting/effective/gripping lighting conditions throughout my everyday life. and if you love light, do you have to love shadow as well? i think maybe you do, but i could be wrong. |

|
|
incredible. yes, definately. i love on rainy days, closing the blinds in a room, and looking at the light that comes through. it's really interesting.... i have a really awesome pic i took, but i don't have premium.... but i'm sure you can picture it. heh. |

yeah, i should have clarified my post i love ambient lighting (including shadows and stuff) :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i mean, what is light without shadow? for me it's the really the contrast, which is why i almost always prefer black & white photography. |
||||||||
|

|

sometimes when i am sleepy i sleep in her bathtub |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i love black and white, especially film but i like the modern black and white, because people use unusual filters and stuff nowadays and it makes it look slightly different do you get what i mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like it when the sky turns pink! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aw, sweet im pretty pocket sometimes :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like winter skies.. when clouds are grey and purple and the sky is white... just so you know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
muahahaha oh my god that made me laugh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
without being too technical, i think i do. some of the old style black & white is kind of boring and flat. (that's the second time i've used that expression today!) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
skies over holland were the best, right? so they say in fact they also say it was better when the ijsselmeer was a lake, centuries ago |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i feel things come out better when spongybob pops up |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, they were nice from time to time... although, it usually rained, or was overcast while I was there... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, it's like there's no depth to it one of my favourite black and white things is the video for NIN's We're In This Together......but i think part of that is the concept too ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i haven't seen it, but i'm sure it's great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also like it when the sky turns black during the day as the blood of virgins is spilt!! |

i wish i had some pics online, but i was obsessed with light for at least two years, probably longer, and i took photos outside at night like crazy. i had a reputation in my school for making completely normal places look like horror movies and close encounters of the third kind. (btw this is all without using any filters except for the filter pack in the enlarger, ie color "balancing" filters, there is something called reciprocity failure that fucks with film, esp. color film) it was great while it lasted but now i have no access to a color darkroom. i CAN recommend some great pictures to look at: Brassai's Paris at Night ("Paris a Nuit"), Richard Misrach (particularly his "Sky Book"), Gregory Crewdson who may be best remembered by non-artists for making the photo on the cover of Yo La Tengo's "And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out", Todd Hido and Michael Kenna. If you like that crap i highly recommend a visit to thenocturnes.com, some of the stuff in their gallery is crap, but the site EXTENSIVE. |

Light is great, though I really don't like the sun at all. It's nice when it's going down or coming up, but I don't like daytime shots. One of my favorite things is the recent advances in video game lighting. It's prettier than real life. Can't wait to see what kind of light source/shadow eyecandy there'll be in Pandora Tomorrow. |

There's another book by Richard Misrach that will totally fuckin blow yr mind (<-hyperbole). It's called "Golden Gate", I think. He just shot the same exact view from his house of San Francisco Bay over and over again, but the different lighting effects are amazing. Some are long exposures and some are just pretty sunset pictures, but it's definitely worth a look. |

All these photos are a bit lovely, aren't they? If you're interested in light, check out an artist called james turrell... he's been overseeing a huge installation carved from the rock of the roden crater in arizona for ages. The idea is to use the natural light at certain times of the year to produce these amazing effects, like feeling you're floating up into the ceiling etc. He's been creating a network of tunnels, stairs, elliptical rooms and a perfectly even crater's rim in order to "see celestial events with new eyes, to return the vaulted shape to the sky, to bring the sky down to Earth." His work with ganzfelds is cool too, a lighting effect where it's hard to perceive depth or position... just rooms of entirely deep blue light or whatever, they're very beautiful but kind of unsettling. |
