I chose to us this photo of the UCI pub around the hours of 4-5 pm this past Wednesday. The day wasn't completely overcast, but the weather was finally starting to cool down this past week. I enjoyed the combination of warm tone, cool tone, natural, and saturated colors that came to play. In the background you can see the cool tone colors come into play from the window shining in with the natural day light, creating a cool toned atmosphere. The saturated cool tone colors come from the neon blueish purple light in the lefthand side. There is also a hint of saturated green popping out on the right side of Julians face and about Dannys glass. But for the most part the warm tone colors really come into play with the hanging lights, dark yellow walls, and the color of the drinks. The front left hand side of the image was dark, which made all of the lights from all angles really pop out. I also really enjoyed the redness of Dannys hand that was lit by the buzzing sound of the monitor beeping that our food was ready. This really shows the aspects of combining lighting tones and moods to create a fun and vibrant atmosphere.
Wonderful post! Great analysis of warm and cool and also foreground and background - it is this natural color depth that happens in reality and thus informs our eye that is great to keep in mind when lighting pieces in a theatre :)
