out-of-focus #26

the other day, i saw this amazing photo. i love love love the work of mainemomma. she’s always inspiring… and i have to say that when i saw the sun light sparkling off the water, i thought of her photo and was inspired to capture my own sparkles!

i have to get out and get more out-of-focus photos of the fall colors. i realized i only got one or two during my walk in the park last weekend! click here to see some really beautiful blurry fall photos by the very talented photographer, georgia. and while i’m sharing links, you have to go check out the new additions to the 100 out-of-focus flickr group!! radiant reflections has an excellent start to her 100 out-of-focus photos!

this next week is my turn to pick the theme at lens.us.together, and to no surprise, i chose the theme “out of focus“. this is the photo i shared to kick it off. the manhattan bridge, which never fails to inspire me, to take my breath away. all my favorite photos lately are the bridges in blur, just after sunset. this one was taken saturday night, and while i wished i’d gotten there just a bit earlier to catch a little more light, i can’t deny how much i love the way this photo turned out, the blurry figures taking in the city, the bridge lights sparkling, the blurred edges reminding me of the memory i created.

one of my recent posts was twilight bridge blur photos. a couple weekends ago, i was back at the bridges as the sun set behind the city. i think i’m in love with these types of photos.

sadly, my husband doesn’t seem to be the biggest fan of my blur photos. he likes some of them, but others make him feel like his vision is going bad and he just can’t quite see the photo. i, on the other hand, love, love, love all the blur photos i’ve been taking. (i just can’t ask his opinion on these so much, because he doesn’t see it the same way as i do :)

after a recent conversation, i thought i’d ask your opinion… which blur photo do you like best? they were all taken in union square the other night right as the sun was going down.
