"Sharpness is a bourgeois concept". (Henri Cartier Bresson) I used a Canon EOS 20D with a Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm f/2.8 Tessar lens deliberately missing focus for a watery effect.

Nikon D2Xs with a Nikkor AF-S DX 18-200mm lens.

Accidental result. Either there was an earth tremor or I had unsteady hands. It is a wide angle setting at 1/80th sec and ought not be blurred. Whatever would Claude Monet make of it? Nikon D300s + Tamron Di II SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR LD Aspherical lens (not the image stabilisation version!)

The preceding nine photographs in this series aren't all as horribly blurred as this one. In fact, one of them is quite sharp. This is the result of using too slow a shutter speed. It's not entirely motion blur because there wasn't an earth tremor at that moment. I ought to have used a camera capable of higher ISO, or a fast lens, or both. But I didn't have those options so I used a Nikon D50 with a Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6 AF G lens whilst waiting to meet the 16.23 at Westbury station. Claude Monet noticed that slow shutter speed blurred moving figures and was inspired deliberately to smudge his painting to achieve this blurry effect. Bravo M. Monet! And Bravo The Limbo Connection!

Bide Brook, Lacock, Wiltshire. The focus is way off; the result is almost an impression of the bridge. Not a particularly successful photograph but something of a little tribute to Claude Monet. Canon EOS 40D + Nikkor-O.C Auto f/2 35mm lens.
