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”
