"Summertime" - my poor effort at tracking with a Fuji XE-2s, 27 f.2.8

Since I got the idea to do this, I cannot stop thinking about Pink Floyd's Time
"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way...
...Home
Home again
I like to be here
When I can..."

Very nicely executed.

I cannot claim that this image is sharp - though the edge of his glasses are. (If it were AF I would blame that. Sadly I cannot). And to be fair, I suppose it is not terribly out of focus either. But I like how it looks.

An old photo I scanned today.
Background: It was a slide originally (most likely Fuji Velvia but I was working from a large format print of it) shot 20 meters below the ocean off Madang New Guinea on the wreck of a WW2 American B25 bomber shot down on a bombing mission. Some of the crew survived the crash and some of them escaped. I think some were captured and executed. The Captain of the bomber survived and eventually came back as an old man to dive on his old aircraft - a few years before I was there in I think about 1990 or a little before. I somehow found that very moving.
Shot with a Nikonos 5 and standard 35mm f2.8 lens. Not much detail due to the particles in the water but then it kind of proves the point made in the title of this thread.
EDIT: I just found a dive site link to the wreck info for those who might be interested in knowing more.

Some lenses are designed with variable soft-focus as a feature. Using the Pentax 120mm Soft for portraiture as intended, with f/5.6 chosen for some softness, as it loses its soft effect beyond about f/8.
