Photo Blog Forty-One: Color Theory

Shutter speed of 1/320, aperture of 4.5, and ISO of 100.

A woman, her distant husband, and two teenage daughters are invited for a stay in San Diego by her altruistic older sister, who seeks to fix the gaps in this family.

That is a possible logline for a movie that I feel this photo could portray. The neutral colors of the sand and sky make the pop of green and yellow and the dark tints of skin and black clothing stand out, leading the viewer’s focus to these people. I thought it was interesting how there are three ‘groups’ of people, with a trio positioned between a man and a woman. This space makes me think of gaps within a family and possible ways the unity of the trio could spread to the people on the edge.

I also want to share this photo of an immature (I think) seagull centered in the frame against beige sand, its form perfectly reflected beneath it.
