"The Deliberately Out of Focus Community Bus in a Downpour"

Paul Iddon

...and that is take a photo deliberately out of focus because I wanted it to be...


This is the disabled person's community bus in Southport. It's occupants were on a day out I suppose, though heaven knows why and what they they would expect to see...

It was absolutely lobbing it down for most of the day and the rain was teeming down the back window of the car. Thats when I saw the opportunity for an image away from the norm... (trust me eh? hehehe).

So I first focused on the window - that didn't look right in the viewfinder, then I focused on the community bus... same opinion... So i reined it in between the two and thought - "yup, that's what I wanna show". Then I pressed the shutter. I varied the zoom for 3 others, and this of the four had the best positioning.

So, like the atypical out of the box kind of chap I can be, here it is.

it looks very comical like a yellow ice cream van

I like it!

I like it - it is as though you are seeing the van through the rain soaked window of an old home.

Pleasing colors; a nice abstract.

I think its an absolutely terrible photo. You have spent a lot of effort telling us that its a deliberately out of focus though.

Sorry ...im not getting it at all

Count me in as one who doesn't really care for it. I'm not big on blurred shots like that. I think it could be an exceptional photo if it was clear since the yellow would really pop.
