Experiments with unfocusing and movement.

During the course of making photo's for a homework assignment I started some experiments with focus and movement. In particular: how I could make interesting images while technically having screwed over my photo.

I liked the softer effect that it caused in the left photo, which made it resemble a painting. However, the second experiment produced a bit more mixed result, as it quite quickly started bordering on the inrecognisable. Interesting however, was that the moving effect looks quite spooky, and possibly can be used for some sort of horror photo. Probably is used for it already.

1 second shutter time, and a walking person down the same dirt road, not 5 yard away from the last two photo's. Personally I doubt whether anyone who doesn't know what is depicted can recognise it, and I don't like that.
