Week # 10: Extreme Angles


I took this picture at Wilson Park in Torrance today around 6pm. For the last couple of sundays, I have had rehearsals in a dance room at this park's rec center. Usually the sun is just setting when my rehearsal is over but today, however, I was excited to see that it was still light out because of the day light savings time change. I was also excited because I found something to take a picture of for the last lighting blog. This field is right outside of the dance room. I decided to take a picture of it because I really liked how the sun's extremely low angle makes the not-very-tall tree's shadow cast across the entire field. It was really cool to see how just the angle of the light can make someone's or something's shadow be ten times bigger than their actual size. Also, it is probably hard to see, but I also liked how the shadows of the trees in the back of the picture make a kinda zebra print design on the ground. I am starting to really notice all sorts of real gobos in nature now and it makes me happy.
