light observations

I think this is what I was supposed to do?

The light in my bedroom is soft and brassy at the same time.  It seems like a cold fluorescent is muted by the yellow tinged light fixture.  It gives the white walls a dingy look, cream rather than their actual eggshell color.  There are lots of harsh shadows since the light is coming directly from overhead.  The light exposes every particle of dust but also is dim enough not to be blinding.  The artificial light clashes with the cleaner looking light coming from the window, which is partially obscured by blinds.  The light from the window is overpowered by the fluorescent about half a foot into the room



In the yard behind my apartment, the light is cold and fuzzy.  It’s overcast and the sun only touches the ground in a patch of grass far away.  The diffuse light is sort of dim, but still seems clean, natural, and inviting.  There aren’t many shadows at all except right around where the ground is exposed to the sun, where it looks stark and blindingly green with thick, black shadows.  The blue-gray tone of the light makes it seem like it should be much cooler outside; it looks like fall without the orange, yellow, or red.
