Light Observation 2


This parking lot tonight is lit by streetlights of orange and blue shades. The lighting is harder, and the shadows of the naked winter tree limbs are clearly defined on the surfaces of the cars. The faces of passersby are rigidly composed of either light or shadow, and the areas beneath the light posts seem overexposed, with a brightness that seems a bit alien to its surroundings. Because of the numerous light sources, some objects cast multiple shadows in that many directions, and the shadows there are sharper or softer depending on the distance between the light and the object.
