The Observatory

So, my husband and I went to the Griffith Observatory this weekend and had a lot of fun walking around and enjoying the view of L.A. from way up high. The picture I took is of different views of the planet Saturn. I thought the middle perspective was the most interesting. It is a "night" view for us, meaning that the sun was on the complete other side making only the inner rings illuminate because the sun is bouncing off the gases from the planet's surface. I thought that was a very interesting concept; the rings being visible only because the light was bouncing off something else. Depending on where the light source was (the sun), makes the rings appear in different colors and at varying intensities. I think we can apply this to costuming ideas depending on the type of material used and the intensity of the lights we use on those materials.
