Beauty in the Blur

blurry beauty

I’m getting more obsessed than ever with shooting unfocused.

Click the camera over to manual focus and see what happens.

Seeing how the story shifts when I let go of having one thing in focus.

It makes me think of the way the world looks without my glasses

Or like an oil painting, seeing brush strokes in the way that

the blur curls sharp edges to soft.

I’d love to see the blurry magic in your world too!   If you haven’t experimented with this before, it is beyond fun…and you can find tips for this and other ways of adding some magic to your photos in the Tips & Tricks for taking Dreamy Photos Ebook!
