Leica M3 50mm Summicron

My good friend chuckeroon liked the last one so much I just had to post another, looking in the opposite direction. And before anyone else says it first, yes, there isn't a single piece of this that's in focus. Still waiting on the first coffee.

Attends, Richard ! Le out-of-focus est à la mode !
Je te fais un lien vers mon blog de photo, un message où j'ai mis une photo floue
Maxime qui est le meilleur photographe de paysage au monde est intervenu pour la première fois sur ce message et Kari qui est aussi un merveilleux photographe, aussi...
Kari a posté récemment un chat super-flou !

Ne prête pas attention au message du tag (les huit points) en lui même qui est destiné à Samrina qui habite au Pakistan et qui m'avait tagguée. C'est un message adressé à une seule personne.

Ha! - but yours is creatively out of focus. At first I thought it was a Photoshop filter, but I see it is "au naturel". The colours are wonderful - and wet.

This cafe is a hard nut to crack. The dear old camera, Leica or Box Brownie, will probably never capture the magic that is taken in by the eye.

An extra wide angle might help, but then you will get quirky effects in an environment that expresses clean lines.

Globus must be confined to special "mini selections". The decor is worth the effort.

Is colour totaly out of the question here?

It seems that nothing is perfectly in focus on this pic! (Sorry, just had to say it anyhow.) How is this possible?
My "auto" camera often tries to focus on what I don't wish to focus on. I guess that sometimes the camera has a better idea about a good photo than I.

@peter - I focused on the bottle of soy sauce, but you are right about digital cameras - sometimes they do know best. For example it would probably have focused on the bus passing the window

Merci Richard de ce compliement. En réalité je m'étais dit que notre propos s'était éloigné de la photo et du flou pour s'orienter sur les commentaires ou non commentaires sur les blogs...
En général, la plupart des gens jugent une photo bonne si elle est nette. En réalité je pense qu'une photo est bonne car elle exprime quelque chose. Ta photo par exemple qui est floue. Peut-elle exprimer que tu es dans un brouillard, que tu n'arrive à rien fixer et surtout pas ton esprit, le matin ?

@cergie - I agree about the purpose of photographs, or at least my definition. They must have a connection with the photographer, the point at which the exposure was made. Of course they are still "photographs" even if taken by an automatic camera, but without the connection with the author and reality they become another piece of creative graphic art instead.

In this instance there isn't really a connection between the physical image and my mood - but the lack of any point of focus or interest and the static lights hanging in the dark was what made me pick up the camera - a feeling of atmosphere and not one particular subject

Parfois, Richard, on interprète la photo ensuite
Je dois avouer que cette photo que j'ai postée, prise sous la pluie, a capté les lourdes gouttes parce que sans doute j'ai fait un mouvement inconscient de caméra qui a accentué le phénomène (souvent je fais des photos en courant)
Je serais bien incapable de la recommencer. C'est un cadeau comme je l'ai dit.
Godsend...
