Week #8

Hello Everyone,

This weekend, I was playing with not using electricity in my apartment and instead lighting my small studio with a single candle. As you can see in the picture, I took a birds-eye view photograph of the candle. I found it extremely interesting to see what the natural light did when reflected into the glass container. The glass itself has been molded to have a unique rim around the top. As seen, this rim creates multiple layers of different intensities. The layers is what attracted me the most to this particular example of lighting. The blue wax also experiences different layers of tone. The royal blue hue begins to fade on the outskirts of the circle. The blue hue becomes an ice like color. I also found it interesting to see how the camera lens captured the small flame. We see an almost perfect circle of whitish light, with an almost purple, pinkish, haze around it. The vision felt spectacularly interesting me, and made me feel like this could be something completely different from the top of a candle.

Thank you for reading,
Luke
