Out of focus



I have come to enjoy taking out of focus shots. In fact, it has sort of become my mission to find interesting things to shoot that actually look better or at least different in that hazy out-of-focusy manner. Here are a few of my faves. What I like about these shots is there's a certain painting-esque quality to them. Having never mastered the art of painting (realism, expressionism, heck, even pointilism didn't work too well for me), I've tried to find ways to shoot subjects so that the supple qualities of painting kind of come through...if that makes any sense.

If I had a complaint about these two shots it would be that the colors are really drab. But that is mostly due to the overcast day and the subject itself wasn't exactly colorful. I'll try to seek out some more vibrant subjects in the future.
