Hello! I am Rachel Stinger and I will be joining you all on this illuminating journey of lighting design! I will be reporting from my room biweekly in sunny SoCal. On occasion you might see one of my pets walk in front of the webcam, they are very needy and like to check out what is going on.
I took this photo this morning while preparing for the day ahead. It had been raining for the past few days so I was inspired to take a photo of the blue sky. What really stood out to me was the light touching the cloud and how its illumination gave it a pillow-y and inviting vibe. The bright, fluffy cloud contrasts with the gray clouds and the vibrant blue sky. Additionally, my eye is drawn to the movement of the palm trees and the reflection of the sky in the water. My favorite part of the photo has to be the bright cloud. It looks so soft, inviting and I wish I could fly up and sit on it.
I really like that the context of the photo could be up to interpretation. You could be looking at the first blue sky after the rain, the calm before a storm or the moment before a hurricane/tsunami/tidal wave hits a vacation resort in a disaster film.
Truly wonderful post and image. I love the way you talk about the light in the photo. I will attempt to dispel your believe that the clouds are gray in our color theory lecture :)
