And the title here is my best attempt at being clever. It also gives away my age!!
In the early noughties, the band, Puddle of Mudd, had a hit with the song "Blurry".
Clever, hey?
But back to the task at hand!!
I recently came across the work of Olga Karlovac. She is a street photographer that does absolutely beautiful work, all with blurry images. You really have to look at her work to appreciate it.
The image below is from her Instagram feed. I would highly recommend you go and have a look. I really like her work. Stunning.
I also love her street and building images. The effect on the images of the pedestrians are spectacular.
Which now brings us back to the image at the top of this post. My feeble attempt at recreating the same effect. Now, I have to say, I think it is not that bad. It is however not as easy as it looks to achieve the effect. Hat tip to Olga. Funny how you get everything blurry and out of focus until you purposefully want to achieve the effect!!
I have also tied to recreate the effect in colour:
Granted, it was an experiment, it was difficult to judge if the effect worked correctly on the camera's LCD, and I was not sure if colour was, in fact, the best choice.
I do think though, that the effect is quite nice. I am also going to go out on a limb here saying that the woods lends itself to this effect in colour. Not sure how colour would work in street photography. But I am willing to give it a go.
To check out some of Olga Karlovac's work, you can find here website here.
