Window Light from Above

A beam of light slanting in from a high window. Because the window is high and narrow and the curtain is only half-drawn, the light forms a diagonal column with a clear direction, passing through the dim space and hitting a desk or the floor, creating a brightly lit area with clear boundaries; dust in the air is visible in the light beam. The rest of the room is submerged in deep brown darkness, with only the outlines of bookshelves visible. Avoid: letting light evenly fill the entire room, fully drawing back the curtains, using soft diffused light, having no obvious dark areas indoors.

一道從高窗斜射進來的光。因為窗高而窄且窗簾只拉開一半,光是一道有明確方向的斜柱,穿過昏暗的空間打在書桌或地板上,形成一塊邊界清楚的亮區;空氣中的灰塵在光柱裡可見。房間的其餘部分沉在深褐的暗中,書櫃只剩輪廓。避免:讓光均勻地充滿整個房間、把窗簾完全拉開、使用柔和的漫射光、讓室內沒有明顯的暗部。
