Brief

“I would like your members to explore the above quote from Henri Cartier Bresson and explore it in a variety of ways

As sharpness is affected by both focus and subject/camera movement I’d like to see creative ways in which these are used either separately or in combination.

Some of the possibilities are:

-Everything is deliberately out of focus

– Subject out of focus and background in focus

– Subject in focus and background out of focus

– Limited depth of field to accentuate a part of the photo

– Shutter speed selected to blur the whole photo

– Shutter speed selected to keep the subject sharp and background blurred using panning technique

– Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) used to create an impressionistic look

– Big Stopper/ND filters used to blur moving parts of the image while static ones remain sharp

All the best

Morris”
