out of focus, motion blur "accidents"...lets see them

[Leica All Day]

Hello everybody,

Ok, generally speaking, most of my photos are usually in focus and composed as I imagined (wanted) them to be, that said, I sometimes have the accidental out of focus shot, "weird" composed shot and/or motion blurred shot and for some strange reason, the photo stands out to me and I end up printing it and scanning it and for some reason, the more I look at it, I like it (is it art? ha!)....anyways.......I am curious, do any of you guys have out of focus or motion blurred shots that stand out to you....here are some examples of what I am talking about and that I happen to like......

Trastevere, Rome.....Leica m6ttl 50mm summilux vi tri-x

New Delhi, India.....Leica m6ttl 50mm summilux vi tri-x

New Delhi, India....Leica m6ttl 28mm elmarit v3 tri-x......
terrorist bombing

cheers, Michael

i like the effect of Michael's last one, perhaps because it reminds me of the famous pictures of D Day (1944) taken by Capa (those that weren't destroyed by Capa's assistant anyway). Sometimes, focus and pin-sharpness aren't the best...

That second shot of yours is amazing.

hey thanks a lot.....I had mixed feelings when I first printed it and scanned it, but after looking at it over and over again, I decided that I liked it.....I figured I would post it and try to get some discussion going about these "types" of shots......thanks again.....Michael......
