Week #0: Atmosphere/ Smoke Gives Depth


My summer was filled with an eclectic arrangement of jobs within the lighting community. I had the chance to see a lot of things, meet a lot of people and learn more than I can possibly say. But of all the interesting things I witnessed this summer the most surprising lighting effect I saw was while I was driving to Tustin for Kickboxing. There was a car that was going up in flames that was sitting off to the side of the road. As the fire department came rushing in to put out the fire the smoke that was once black turned pure white. The smoke filled the air for about a mile. All I remember is that the rays of light that the smoke was causing me to see was so cool that I had to take a picture as I am sitting in traffic. I love how the smoke caused the rays of light to become visible to the human eye. The atmosphere/ smoke in this picture gives more depth to this scene. Even though you do not see the sun in this picture the atmosphere allows you to distinguish the angle of light and approximant time of day. -STACIE
