May, Glow in LA: A very important feature of LA is the mist that distorts the light in the city. As light falls upon the fog droplets, it is dispersed in every direction. The foggy weather of LA enlightens the nights leaving them not much different from the days. One can hardy find any dark areas in the city. It’s all yellow for most of the year, including nights. Walking down the streets of LA is a wonderful experience. The brightness is unusual and spellbinding. The immense brightness makes it feel like a dream come true.
The sun in LA is mostly blanketed by the fog. Sometimes, when the sunlight manages to make its way through the mist, the sand changes its color from grey to a pale shade of purplish pink. Shadows begin to squeeze short. As soon as the humidity increases, the brightness increases more than necessary. The sunlight falls on particles between me and the distant mountains. Millions of tiny prisms of fog droplets create a mirror like effect and reflect and refract the sunlight in every direction. The mess of bounced beams of light crowds the atmosphere until the brightness gets so intense that it causes a blinding effect.
Mountains merge into the background, until they become completely unidentifiable from other features of the scenery. Cinematographers spend millions of dollars to create an effect like that artificially. All of that money can be saved by shooting in LA. In this way, LA not only enriches the movie with natural light effects, but also makes the shooting more profitable.
