    Cafe Blur

    I won't pretend this was a deliberate shot. In fact I was about to consign it to the bin when I decided I quite liked it. Comments....?

    Fuji X100F - 23mm fixed lens.

    Well, at least you can call it "ART"... or 'Abstract'
    (Sorry I can't help that thought...) Anyway, the blurness looks like a plastic curtain hiding the scene inside...

    John, I like it. I just don't think the chap in blue should be there. He is a tad dominating and the angle of his left arm is not good. That is only my opinion.

    This is one of the few images of yours that you have posted that I don't particularly like. I tend to not be overly fond of blurry images, although I have seen a few that do work really well.

    I'm going to have to look at my FireFox settings. For some reason, I cannot view them (i.e. the DropBox links) and I have to pop over to another browser to see them.

    This style isn't my cup of tea, though it does pique my curiosity. It's interesting that more than being just a blurred image, it is an image that displays two of everything and both displays are relatively soft. Consider toning down the red lamp, as it pulls my eye away from the rest of the image.

    Thanks all for the comments. I was just experimenting. I was trying to do some street photography which I'm not too good at. This was a sort of walk past sideways shot that totally failed because in the shopping mall, the shutter speed was necessarily low. I quite liked it as Izzie described, as an abstract comp but really it's not abstract enough to qualify and not sharp enough for anything else.

    I can't keep my hands off it. It's just so easy to pick up no matter where I'm going or what I'm doing and the quality is up there with the X-T2.

    It's probably a good candidate for focus magic software but I don't it would be up to the task.

    I have never seen a "cafe" in a blur but, I have seen a few bars that were a "blur" in my younger days as a sailor...

    Oh my God, this is a pretty cool shot. An abstract as what they might call it. Should we consider it as an artistic blurred photography?
