Film, Illumination, Surface


These first two images explore the film of the sky in relation to the surface of the water and the film of a window pane.



















I then investigated the difference between light on a surface when you can identify the light source contrasted to light on a surface that can not be identified. In these images, you can see the source of light from the hanging light fixture and the sun coming in the windows. When viewing these images you are using a surface mode of perception.



















However, when you can no longer see the source of light you switch into a film mode of perception and it just looks like there is a warmer tint on all the surfaces.

  1. I like these factory shots that many of you have taken. The surface of the machining parts (what are these?) are really without color and have more of an achromatic phenomenon of luster. The direct light sources in the images of the hallway and factory room above are good examples of how the direct light changes the color of the surface of objects--great job. Keep exploring different ways that color is affected by a film in real life experiences. It might be useful to do this in the free week.
