Week #6: Sunlight=Source

While i was taking a walk near my apartment, i walked over the bridge on the street Coronado (right near Harvard and Main). I had never walked over the bridge because on the opposite side of it are buildings for businesses. There really is no reason for me to go across, but i did anyways. It's Valentines day and i celebrate singles awareness so i had nothing better to do, haha. As i walked over, i noticed how the flooding from downpour of rain we had from the past week died down and left some crazy patterns at the bottom of the creek. The lighting from the sun casted great shadows that added form and shape to the muddy sand. I thought the shadowing gave it a "lumpy" feel if i were to imagine myself walking on this ground. Imagine all those nasty creepy crawlers that live in the mud, ewww.

Something else i took notice of was the idea of source. In this case, the sun is probably the main source of light, haha. This may be an obvious statement, but in one of the shots i had taken, the sun is best described as the source because you can see the reflections of the sun in the water.
It was quite captivating to see because the rays of sun glimmered, making the water's movement from the light wind clearly visible. Also, looking at the contrast in brightness from the sun's reflection to the muddy sand drew my attention to the sun as if it was a spotlight.... Now that i think about the sun as Earth's only source of natural light, it really is similar to the spotlight that shines on a character to capture an audiences attention.
