Camera Craniums: The Photography Community for Enthusiasts
Cranium Competitions => International Weekly Comp Entries => Topic started by: jinky on February 19, 2011, 05:21:20 PM
The theme for this week's comp is "Out of Focus". We all strive to make sure that we get our depth of field / focus just right but this weeks challenge is to get it all wrong - deliberately if possible but just your usual method will do if it is a common occurrence!
Not just selective focus - I want every element of the image out of focus but still giving us a pleaseing image of anything that takes your fancy. So probably a manual focus job so your camera does not get it right for you !
No editing restrictions but don`t just use gaussian blur to put a focused image out of focus - try to do it in camera.
