Week #3 Sunday Afternoon

This summer I traveled to New York City and captured some great photographs of the natural sunlight beaming onto buildings and theatre venues throughout downtown. I took this photo because I noticed how the shadows were captured in such detail and how vibrant the lighting tones were in the frame. What stands out the most to me in this picture is the clarity in the colors and how it really affects the attention of the viewer. When I view this picture I am able to feel the temperature of the day and get the peaceful yet cosmopolitan sense of the city. What do you think? This picture has a strong sense of life to it and even though everything in this picture is still, it is able to capture energy with the shadowing and shades of brightness. This picture makes me feel liberated and free in the sense that I am able to do anything in the world and conquer any challenge that I may have. Even though the colors seem clear to us, in a sense we have to remember what our eyes take in as white light as well, and what colors really are instead of what they seem to be. I love and really appreciate the perspective of the architecture in this picture and the bright lighting also. I fell that the contrast in colors and how they layer over one another really leaves the viewer with a sense of almost being there in the moment.
