I'm a fan of intentionally-blurred photos: they seem to have an etheral quality about them that's hard to get from hair-splitting sharpness. So I tried to shoot this train station, intentionally blurring it.
Along with the blurriness, I think comes a but of contrast-muddiness. I keep increasing the contrast here, and each time I find myself liking it a bit more. But I think some of this is my eyes and brain playing tricks on me, making me believe the contrast is more of a problem than it is because it's out of focus.
I shot this at about 35mm, focusing on a point fairly close to the camera.
I feel like maybe the figures could be sharper. I dunno.
Honestly, it's not that I dislike it - I like the photo, I think it's a good start, and I'm not complaining. But I'm looking for comments on the photo as well as any thoughts on the technique in general.
Also, I'll be posting another blurred image in the next day, so check out my site if you get a chance: www.TeamWetDog.com
