Blog Post #4: San Diego Surf and Sun

This is possibly my favorite pictures I've ever taken; this is a picture of a beach just outside of San Diego and I'm still shocked at how my old-ass phone was apple to take such a beautiful picture. And, without a doubt, a huge part of the charm from this pic comes straight from the galaxy's personal spotlight-- the sun. Look at the way it creates a glimmering shine on the crystal blue waters, and how it silhouettes the surfers and beach goers in crisp definition. What's interesting to me is how nonthreatening the silhouetted figures are in comparison to the how the back lighting has worked in class. If I had to make a guess as why, it would be that, factoring the bright colors and general radiance of the picture, it's missing that darkness and isolation that adds to the sinister mood that backlighting has created in class. All in all, I still think its a gorgeous picture with its range of color and light, and it makes me smile to see it from time to time.
