Totally bokeh

I have suddenly decided that I don't like sharp pics. Dreamy is the operative word. I have gone from BW to THIS!!!! However I think that its a transition so don't know where I will go.

Very nice, looks like the painting Monet was making by the end of his life, when nearly blind...

Funny that folks buy their Leica glass for it's sharp rendering. They give me eye strain.

i find it kinda sad. if you want blurry pictures get a dSLR 😀

hah I too love blurry pictures and put together sets every now and then. I think one part of this style of photography is your choice of the title. I believe it is essential in leading the minds of people viewing them in some direction.

I like it.... Here, Composition is Key to be successful at it. One day I have to try this for a few months.
HellenHill should like these... Helen can do OOF very nicely!

The first one is very cool, much more interesting than if it has been in sharp focus.

We all have our deep blur periods... It implies getting rid of specific facts, and that implies easier dreaming... It all offers fun sometimes, and then becomes boring in general... The hard thing is getting dreamy images on focus...

Cheers,

I remember my teachers (all had different ages and tastes...) used to agree in two things: they disliked when a student showed a series of images with general blur or with a long tele... They used to say those were ways to avoid composition and real photographic creation when someone wasn't able to make good photographs...

I don't think teachers should discourage any sort of means to make a photograph. They should be encouraging student to follow their imagination to make that shot.

As much thought can go into making a shot OOF than it can into it being in focus.

Best teachers do it because they're nice people making better photographers, not worse and lazier ones...

But who is to say that the teacher is a better photographer than the student?

Beyond learning how to set shutter speed and aperture... composition is simply subjective.

sometimes accidents result in interesting abstracts...

You pretend dedicated photography teachers are worse photographers than students not even knowing basics...

You pretend a teacher should celebrate any kind of shot from a student...

You pretend photography is basically related to shutter and aperture...

You pretend composition is purely subjective...

Please don't pretend you've never heard the word naive... 😛

Maybe that style is not an accident in some people, and maybe that's not abstract but figurative and out of focus, and maybe that's not interesting, but your opinion is a lot more important than mine or that of the rest of the world... 😉
