Thematic Out Of Focus (intentionally)

**jheu02** · 01-03-2011, 04:22 PM

Agreed! Nice shot Georg and also yours Willem. Was this a full OOF shot, or did you crop to the oof from a "normal" shot, this being just the bokeh portion?

I can see you took a 9-blader for your shot Willem. Beautiful and shimmering. About the headbanging, this is a fountain lit from underneath in the late blue hour.
Keep 'em coming please.

Thanks for your kind words, Georg, John, and Willem. Great work, everyone!

Sam, that leaf is amazing.

Here's another from the river...

OOF Freefall

Thanks stanic & tamia! I'm enjoying everybody's use of oof, however I seem to end up feeling pretty dizzy after looking at this thread!

not sure how I did this

Randy: Nice escalator shot, great colors and movement. Straighten those steps though.

This turned out well I think for the P52 Reflections. x-posted there also for entry.

Does this count? Intentional zoom blur...

You know I have looked at that shot a few times and never even thought at looking if the steps were crooked... I think I will chop that up to "creativity"

thanks for pointing it out
