The Limbo Connection's photos with the keyword: out of focus

Trees in the grounds of Lacock Abbey. Photographed with a Nikon D700 and a Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI-S lens. Intentionally out of focus for this exposure at f/2.8 with a speed of 1/125th. ISO 500. I have tried this technique before. It is difficult to do it well, as evidenced by those iris blade shapes manifesting themselves top centre. However, I like the trees well enough, particularly the one in the left-hand foreground with its trunk in shadow. And the autumn leaves on the ground provide a nice contrast. Fox Talbot would have probably thought this was quite mad.

Just another assignment. A Tuesday, I think. A Tuesday in January. Bloody cold in that old Manor House. And the car wouldn’t start. Don’t know how I’ll get back. What’s that? No make up? OK. Let’s get on with it. You stand there. By the window. Look out. Look wistful. Can you do bed hair? That’s nice. Sorry it’s so cold. No heating in these old places. Thank God that’s finished. I didn’t like the look of that chair where they put my clothes. Still, too cold for fleas this weather. I hope. He could have given me a lift. The bus is late. Wonder what I’ll have for dinner tonight. Must get some warmer shoes. They say it’s going to snow.
