This photo was taken when
I was visiting a friend in Santa Barbara, CA. It was such a beautiful day and I took the picture so I could remember the view we had from our hotel.
I believe the audience of this photo would be someone who loves the ocean. It
would be someone who loves to feel sand between their toes and loves the warm
breeze on their skin. I also think of someone who loves to relax. This beach
looks relaxing and quiet.
For some reason when I put
the picture into black and white I immediately thought of the 1940’s or 50’s. I
also think it takes away from the point of the picture. The point of the
picture is to capture the beautiful color of the ocean, the sand, the palm
trees and the blue sky. I don’t think of a relaxing beach when I see it in
black and white. I believe color really makes this picture such a beautiful
piece of art. I think it would change the audience. I think it attracts a more emotional
audience. I don’t really think of happiness when I see the picture in black and
white. When I saw it in color I was excited and wanted to go to the beach right
now.
While the picture is in color the title that I would give is
“Relax." I think this title works perfect for this picture because it is all
about relaxing at the beach. I believe this title would change the audience
into knowing it’s a relaxing place. When you see the word relax and a picture
of the beach you almost already feel relaxed, but my favorite place is the
beach. J
I love the beach too. The picture does convey what you attached as the title. I could see how black and white would change the mood and send your brain retro.
ReplyDeleteI like this picture. It makes me think of standing in the sunshine with the breeze blowing through my hair. I can hear the noises from both the hustle and bustle of life and the calming sounds from the ocean. I thought making the image black and white took most of what I felt about the picture away from what I felt when it was in color. It was as if the lack of color drained away all of the life in the picture. It became static for me.
ReplyDeleteKatie,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the beach! And I love this picture! I think that your title goes so well with your photo because I can feel myself relax a bit just looking at it. I do think that taking away the color would really change the way this picture makes me feel when I look at it in color. I think that this picture is perfect in color and it would not be nearly as exciting in black and white.
Katie,
ReplyDeleteI love the beach, so I would say that I am definitely a part of the audience for this picture! Also, the color adds so much more effect to the blue sky, waters, and beautiful palm trees. A picture like this deserves to be in color, but if it were in black and white, I would also think back to the 50's.
It seems that everyone agrees that color defiantly makes the picture. The beach is such a relaxing place to go.
