Mmm... cavey.

Steph and I were watching "Primer" (if you like movies that do all the
exposition for you, stay the hell away... if you find those movies
insulting/patronizing, this film is gloriously intricate and leaves
everything up to you to figure out), and he commented at one point about how
the movie likes to switch between warm tones and cold tones in its white
balance for different scenes. I'd taken this shot earlier in the evening,
and it's got a similar warm/cold thing going on. Much like my last
'framing' shot, the physical window makes this two distinct scenes, and the
contrast between them does something to strengthen the mood of the subject
(the living room here, the picnic in the last 'framed' shot). I like how
the light from my living room spills out, as if the warmth is radiating into
the cold.sort of muddying up the division between the two.

i tried to get this shot at one point and failed. good job. was trying to wrestle with the white balance in my last shot too.. for some reason, part of the shot was warmer than the other. it was all the same lighting too.
