Week 7: Shadow grid

While walking around the outside area of the Newport Beach Civic Center, I noticed the bright sunlight crisply shinning through the overhead trellis emblazoning shadows of the diagonal grid onto the brickwork below. The way the shadows fell created an interesting juxtaposition between the angular lines of the projected shadows and the curvature of the building's modern architecture. The other interesting aspect that caught my attention was the variation in focus across the different areas of shadow lines. It was quite noticeable how the closer the shadow's source object was to the surface, the harder and sharper the resulting shadow. And in reverse, as the shadow's source moved further away, the resulting shadow would become progressively softer and less defined.

  1. I really like the architecture in that space and your image really emphasizes it well.
    Think also about how it affects you emotionally, not just technically, as that is what you need to share as a choreographer to your team
    Nice image and post!
