I looked at the sky and what I saw made me smile. It reminded me of the sea. I took these pictures while walking on the bridge that connects the dance studios to the Mesa parking structure. What strikes me in these photographs is how the bright orange sun lights and highlights the moving clouds. This image is rich with contrasting colors. The sky looks bright and blue while some clouds appear white and some appear gray. This contrast evokes a mixture of emotion to me. The blue gives a sense of water and cleansing. The gray is more morbid. The tint of orange makes the clouds pop and gives them character. The clouds look like crashing waves of the ocean. I would use this kind of lighting in a choreography that had a mood change that goes from happy to morbid or visa versa. I would change the mood by adding and omitting the orange tint.
Very nice connections to color and emotion!
ReplyDeleteLook closer at the "gray" clouds and you will see lavender instead :)
Nice post
oh yes, lavender indeed, it's so subtle.
ReplyDeleteGreat Pictures and how you describe the contrasting colors you are seeing. The different colors that are showing on the clouds also give a sense of depth to these pictures.
