Blog 2: Sunshine day!

I've always found sunlight so fascinating. The way it effects the appearance of an object, the way it effects color, heck, even the way it effects your mood. I was taking pictures of my hair today and I was amazed by how much the sunlight affected my hair color...

Trust me. My hair doesn't look that red in any other type of light. Sunlight is incredibly powerful and I love how manipulative it is when it comes to color. It's energy and natural shine can make anything look warm and bright with very little effort. That's why I agree that some of the most effective stage lighting is when they're trying to recreate sunlight. It is bright, warm, happy, and is the most effective form of "natural" stage lighting. It just makes everybody seem warmer and happier! Call me a hippie, but I'd love to bottle sunshine if I could. It's definitely a great starting point for recreating realistic light on stage. If you can great synthetic sunshine, you're well on your way to being a great lighting designer! :)
