 p.1 #1 · Post your favorite blurry photo! | |
I suspect I'm not alone in that I spent a good portion of my developing time in photography in constant pursuit of sharpness. However, the more comfortable I've gotten with my ability to produce technically "correct" images, the less of a paramount concern sharpness is to me. Don't get me wrong: I still love a good crisp photo and typically do all I can to ensure the closest I can come to technical perfection. However, long gone are the days where I'd summarily delete images where the focus or shutter speed had softened up a shot...
The bottom line for me is that you can have a technically perfect but entirely sterile image that is far less desirable than an interesting image with "character." Sometimes the flaws can actually improve the photo. Peruse any book from a truly great photographer, and you'll find countless images that would be panned on a forum like this for not meeting this technical standard or that. Here's a humorous post illustrating this point:

So here's a thread to post your favorite blurry (or otherwise technically flawed) shots. No pixel-peeping allowed
