This week, I found tree's shadows in the wall of my apartment. I like the tree gobos, but I realized that I do not much think about what actual tree's shadow looks like. I notice two different impressions and feelings. One of the tree shadow is clear and sharp edge, and I feel strong darkness because tree blocks off the light and creates more dark shadows. The other one is blur and soft edge, and I feel calm and peace because it gives gentle impression and there is more lights than shadows. Sunlight seems warm color, so it makes me feel warm. So, if light color is cooler, I think I feel different. Therefore, different density of tree leaves, edge of shape, and color of the light convey different impressions and emotion. This discovery helps me to think about lighting design.

Nice image and observations about texture - I have often studied this look to try to duplicate it on stage
