Week 8 Strange Rainbow

This photo was taken from our home looking towards Saddleback Mountain. The overshadowing amber color in the sky put an almost orange-like cast on the sky, buildings, trees. There is a part of a rainbow starting from the right side of the rooftop. The rainbow is also affected by the amber hue. The overall feel was very unusual. It felt different almost unnatural with having such a dominant hue over everything.
It reminds me of some of our lighting projects on how the dominance of an overall hue can truly change what would be a normal event into one of unusual, extraordinary and otherworldly. Lighting like this could be used to make the natural unnatural.

  1. Nice image - one of my favorite qualities of light is at sunset when the sky is full of clouds except for where the sun is - even better, if it is raining

    This photo reminds me of that :)
