Lighting

Most of the time I take exterior photos. Here are two examples of dramatic interiors that I thought I would share.

Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center
, University of Northern Iowa campus, Cedar Falls, Iowa.
This is a look of the Prismatic Pyramids. The creator is Ray King of Philadelphia. I think I will go back and take some more pictures of these sculptures. The window wall lets the outside be a part of the inside.



Lighting enhances Unity Temple in Oak Park Ill. I attended Sunday services
rather than just take a tour. The Rev. Taylor was very warm and welcoming as were other members.

Point of view makes the difference here. Had I only looked straight ahead I would have missed this wonderful composition of the squares and circles. The skylights and dark cross beams. I love the warm yellow gold of the lights that really set this off.
The windows are high to keep the outside out and the inside a place of peace and reflection.


Look all around and use different points of view to find your shot.
Get out and take some pictures.
