This is a photo that I almost used for the self-portrait project but didn’t like quite as much as the one that I submitted. My eyes are two different colors and I like how the vibrant lighting showcases that. The eye on the right is blue and matches the blue light on my hair. Whereas my other eye is green and the pink light contrasts it quite well.
This is another picture I took while visiting my family. Not pictured is a glass door off to the right. It is the source of the blue light hitting Buddy’s fur after a long day outside. I like the contrast of the blue light from the sky and the yellow light from the lamp on Buddy. He needs a haircut…
This photo is not the best quality as it is a candid photo of my brother and our family dog, Buddy. I tried to capture this sweet moment without either of them noticing. My parents have a glass fire burner on their deck. It always emits a warm yellow light. You can especially see it on the rim of the burner pictured on the right. You can also see it on Calvin and Buddy’s faces.
I took this photo on my way back to Milwaukee after briefly visiting my family. (I was not the one driving). I like the warm tones of light in this photo. Especially the way that it pairs with the green billboard. The red car lights, the orange streetlamps, and the barely visible yellow headlights light up the dark street.
How the light shines off the window and the frame is interesting, and I love how the light behind the glass interacts with the reflections from outside the window.
Many exit signs all over the different buildings. Very bright and noticeable.
This light at Beans and Barley looked very vibrant. The cover gives it a neon look.
During my walk to class both these front yards have really caught my eye. They both use the vibrant colors of the flowers to attract the eye of people and make the presentation of their house even more beautiful. The house with multiple colors and types of flowers really pops as you look at the variety. It really shows you how vibrant colors can attract eyes and pull one’s focus.

This is colored lighting we’ve all seen before but every time I love how it looks. How it bounces off every surface because everything is dark grey or black and the stairs are metal, but the bright blue gives this area such a vibrant feel.
I took this photo on Monday the 27th, possibly one of the last 80-degree days for a while. I found this interesting because of the simple beauty that is found in nature. After taking the picture, I started to think how none of this would be possible without the sun (light). By saying this, I mean the flowers wouldn’t grow, and the butterfly wouldn’t see…
Most of all, there wouldn’t be any light waves a.ka (electromagnetic radiation). In return, the colors on the butterfly and flowers would have nothing to reflect to the human eye. Therefore we could not see!

The light sort of makes the pillow look like it has a plaid pattern. I also like how can also see the texture of the pillow with the shadow.

I think this shot shows a good contrast between the light falling on to the wood of the bench and the light falling on to the wood of the birdhouse. Exposed directly to the sunlight, the birdhouse looks a bit harder edged and brighter, while the light on the bench falls on it more softly and smoother.
The light falling on the tree in the foreground seemed to bring out a good bit of detail in the range of brightness from leaf to leaf.
The headlights here drew my attention in how they added emphasis to my friend on the sidewalk, as well as the prickly sort of texture we see it casting on the grass and in the shadows the grass casts on to the sidewalk.
Okay I recognize that this statue has lots of texture, but with all the strong shadows falling over the ridges I think it just adds such beautiful dimension.
Caught this walking to my car after work! The trees and some fool texture on top of the already cool texture of the house!
I am always intrigued when patterns of light are created on the floor. It continuously changes with the sun and the shapes are never exactly in the same spot. I think I almost always want to photograph it.
This is a picture I took over the summer. And I really like how the light makes one side of the river look to have ripples, where as the other side looks like a mirror.
