"Sharpness is a bourgeois concept"

Been having some fun with an absoloutely battered olympus Pen Ep3, the IS is broken and everything is soft, paired with a 17mm 2.8 that has so much front element damage its effectively uncoated. Produces lovely images, this one below is a recent favourite (It was not foggy on this day) it just gives a really pleasing but very soft rendering.

Beautiful. It reminds me of Ostende beach.

Where is that? The beach is local to my parents place called camber, on a clear day you can see right the way down to Dungeoness Neuclear power station. Dungeoness itself as a bit of a village bicycle for landscape photographers in the UK! Looks post apocalyptic

Ostend (earlier typo) is in Flanders, Belgium. There was a rock band, TC Matic from around there - and the singer, Arno Hintjens had an album with the artwork from Ostend beach. Not at all the same image as yours - it just gave me the same evocative vibe. Fab shot.

(Love Dungeness! especially the accoustic mirrors which open occasionally to the public).

Oh wow, I see what you mean by the vibe!

Ive never been to the dungeoness ones although a few years ago we went to some up a hill near a MOD site - there were signs advising you to stick to the path the whole time as there was a risk of explosives in the ground!
