I took this picture when I found parking right by my house. When I saw the image, it brought me back to the "grave yard scene" feeling. I always hate parking here at night cause it always seems creepy/scary. The fact that there's a strawberry field right behind those gates with workers driving and walking in and out at any times, makes me feel more unsafe. this picture made me feel grief, unsafe, loneliness, as if I was having a dark lonely dream and suddenly find a light for sense of direction but scared of what's on the other side. There's definitely some gray shades in this picture , so just as I did for my final project, I'd use a light lavender on my shins but have more intensity on the left shin since it's brighter on stage left. Then I'd use a parcan in an amber color for the light post. Using the fresnel a for an even wash would probably be just as reasonable , but I feel like it'd take away from the emotion. I really liked how my head lights brightened up the floor and only a 1/4 of the image . There's not any loud colors in this picture either which I liked. Made it feel a bit more creepy, especially how you see a house and some cars then a gated fence where all you can see is how dark it is there.

Good lord this looks like it was taken straight out of a nightmare! TOTALLY scary! Love that dirty streetlight and the light pollution reflecting off of those heavy clouds...all the silhouettes of the wires and poles, and the even more frightening headlights...yikes! Nice!!
