Dry plate negative


Description - what you see
This dry plate negative image was taken on what appears to be a sunny day. In this image we could see various groups of people in different series of moments enjoying time at the beach. The garments they are wearing in this scene could be set in the 1950s – 1960s.

Intention - what you think the photographer intended
I think that the photographer intended to capture a fun day at the beach. By placing his focus on the foreground we could see the happiness expressed by his principal subjects. The framing of this image and the various poses captured all the way to the foreground intensifies the feeling of well being.

Interpretation - your reaction to the photograph
I like this image because of the deep depth of field. You can see distinct people enjoying themselves at the beach from the subjects in the foreground to those in the background.

Evaluation - your assessment of the images success
In general I believe this image is a success. It is well balanced and the composition transmits a warm feeling.
