  1. What does changing the perspective, or angle of view do to the subject?
    Changing the perspective changes the angle, which can either show you more, or less of the photo. It gives you a different way of seeing the same thing and that shows you there is more to the image.

    How does the beach look different from this aerial view?
    The umbrella’s look so straight and perfect on the aerial view, and then when you go to the side view, it doesn’t look the same.

    What changes about the way we see our own lives when we see it from way up in the sky?
    What changes is the size of people, how we look at people, etc. It changes everything based on the angle you are seeing the photo.

    What do you notice about repetition in these photographs?
    The umbrella’s are repeating, they are set into lines.

    How do these images make you feel about the world?
    Some of the images make everything look perfect when the beach is empty with just the umbrella’s, and then when people are there, it looks not perfect and messed up.

  3. Changing the angle or view of a subject makes the subject seem more interesting, like there is something more to it. It almost gives the sense of mystery.

    The beach looks different from aerial view as it shows organization from the umbrellas, towels, and beachgoers in the photos.

    When we see the ground from the sky, it makes us feel smaller than we really are. Like we’re ants in a giant colony.

    I notice a lot of leading lines in these photos. A lot of repeating patterns as well.

    These images make me feel small, as if we aren’t small enough in the universe. These images make me feel like a small particle of dust in the universe.

  4. When I look at those photos they are like a birds point of view and most other photos supposed to be our point of view but these photos are interesting because they are in a birds point of view. I those photos would have been in our point of view it wouldn’t be as interesting as the areal point of view. I believe that areal point of view lets us look at the the world from a different point of view . I notice that these photos are very colorful and I also notice that there are patterns of umbrellas in the photographs. I think that when I look at these photos they make the world look interesting and fun to look at.

    We see it in a different light and look at things differently from a birds point of view.

    What do you notice about repetition in these photographs?
    There is a lot of repetition in the alignment of the umbrellas and the symmetry of the set up.

    How do these images make you feel about the world?
    Makes me see the beauty in the things we dont really notice have or can be beautiful.

  6. Changing the angle of view you get different perspectives and you get to see it in a whole different way and may get a different picture. There’s different colors and more to view on the beach and makes you want to be there in that moment. Seeing our own lives in the sky shows us that we’re not alone and we’re only one small part of it. The repetition catches the viewers eyes and makes me wonder why this pattern, color and size. These images makes me feel like the world is too big and way too much for us to explore.

  11. What does changing the perspective, or angle of view do to the subject?
    Changing the angle to above makes everything below look smaller, obviously we know that these are shots of umbrellas on the beach, but with the considerable elevation we can use imagination and say that it looks like a large sheet cake, or colorful cookies on a baking tray.
    How does the beach look different from this aerial view?
    It begins to look designed, orchestrated, or edited. We think of beaches being a free range of people, colors, and an unorganized mess, but this is a contrasting view.
    What changes about the way we see our own lives when we see it from way up in the sky?
    It’s a totally different view that us humans don’t get to see (without help from a helicopter or airplane). The way I like to think of it is this is a view of the seagulls that we see flying around at the beach.
    What do you notice about repetition in these photographs?
    The beach is a giant pattern with various colors in distinct rows like candies in a box. It forms lines and boxes on the beach which creates repetition as well.

  21. It makes the image look 10 times better, and the people look all small and things are more open to see. It looks like all wider and huger, I don’t know just the beach looks like a great beach to go too. It looks better, like the place we live has so much more to see then what we actually see. and it does but just you wouldn’t think like that until you see something from way up in the sky. You just start having a better perspective about things and life. The beach has a lot of people holding up different color umbrellas and also the same color ones, but they would shoot it from the same angle, like they were keeping the shots going.Honestly very great, I would love to go to a beach like that .

  23. Changing the perspective or angle of a photo gives viewers a different point of view and allows them to see the subject in a new way. From an aerial view the beach looks a lot more uniform and perfected. I think our lives seem a lot smaller in comparison to everything else going on when we see it from a bird’s eye view. You see how everything flows and balances and works together. Repetition is seen in the umbrellas and is what makes the scene looks so organized and uniform. These images show that when you take a step back you can see a wider view of a situation.
