It does not need to be in focus…

[Rob MacKillop]

There have been a couple of out of focus people threads lately, and I want to jump on the bandwagon. This one was deliberate. It’s my wife, Susan, channelling the Mona Lisa.

 

[Russ Butner]

It works for me.

 

[Wes Hall]

Very nice Rob, you captured her silhouette to work with the out of focus. I'm certain I can take some of what I see here to advance my exploration with the soft focus filters...cheers for the inspiration!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Wes. It was one of a series, but this one worked out the best.

 

[Wes Hall]

Was this taken on film Rob?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, on a medium-format camera, some years ago. The top and bottom here have been cropped for some unknown reason.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Probably HP5 film.

 

[Pete Askew]

That is rather wonderful, Rob. Now I'm going to have to search out all the other OOF shots!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ah, hello, Pete. I was wondering when you would pop in. I hope you are well and thriving?
