WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Unfocused

While vacationing on Mount Desert Island, Maine last summer, fog rolled in one afternoon. Out I went as an excited photographer ! I couldn’t wait to capture Bass Harbor and the lobster boats in their misty haze.

I had forgotten that I had set my white balance to florescent light when I was visiting the Antique Car Museum earlier in the afternoon. So this group of photos came out blue. When I saw them, I was first quite discouraged but then started to really like the mood the blue created. So not only were the photos not in focus, neither was the photographer!

This photo was taking on the trail on an inn-to-inn horseback riding trip last summer. Traveling through the Luberon Mountains in Provence, France, we went through this really dark tunnel and this was my attempt to capture it.

  1. When I first got a DSLR several years ago I made this “mistake” on a regular basis – and you know what, I liked the result too! I think it looks great!
