For this weeks blog, the prompt is movement. I snapped this photo this week after my weekly run at the back bay loop in Newport. As we know, clouds move slowly, but in this photo, it is not clear in which direction they are moving. The different textures of the clouds could indicate which direction the clouds are going, but I enjoy that it is up to your imagination to guess that. There are some pockets of light in this photograph, where the clouds are less saturated. This adds to the overall texture of the clouds. Due to the fact it was overcast, the lighting was dim and moody, but I still believe that the subtleness of the light shining through captures the essence of the clouds moving, even though this is just a photo. This was a windy day, so if you look closely, there may be some indications of the greenery shifting in one direction. I like to imagine that the clouds were shifting to the left, with the lighting coming down to the left diagonal, with the wind blowing to the left, based on the photo and the day I took this.
This picture is from my piece, Reverberant Skin, in New Slate. I love the way the colors in this piece ended up looking on stage. I gave the color palette of light blues, purples and greys to the costume designer and Hayden, my lighting designer ended up using those same colors throughout the piece. This shot captures the lavender color of the lighting highlighting the dancer's bodies and costumes. I think the side lighting allows for the audience to see the movement of the clothing which emphasizes the movement of the dancers.
Really insightful post. I love the image and all you got out of it. That place is one of my favotites to walk at. Nice job!
