Light Observations

My first light observation is a basketball jersey in the morning sunlight from the window. As I woke up, it was the first object I had seen. Entering from a high angle on the left side, it hits the object hard in the bottom right corner because it is laid out further than the rest of the jersey. At the top where the shoulders would be, it also strikes an intense light, but fairly dark shadows underneath highlight the dark yellow/gold of the object. In the center, there is a small part that sticks out that captures the harsh light on both colors of the object. The way the shadows are cast and the angle of the intense light appear upon the jersey, makes it look like a shrine.

My second light observations is a holly bush. Again, the sunlight is coming from a high angle on it's left side. On some parts of the bush, the green leaves seem brighter from the rays. On either side of the bush, the leaves are darker and shadows of leaves that are outside of the bush cover them. A softer lighting in the back of the bush adds to the many shades of greens that as a whole, give the bush a natural, characteristic look. Lastly, it casts darker shadows closer to the ground, and lighter ones higher up behind the bush against the wall.
