Weekly Photo Challenge: Unfocused

Unfocused. You may curse or cheer this week’s theme. We’re looking for that picture which is unfocused. It may be completely intentional, or accidental. You might have thought about trashing it, but in the end it definitely conveys something.

This picture above is from a run I did one morning while visiting Dijon, France. I never slowed down enough to get a clear photo, but I’ll remember the empty streets of Dijon and my solo run in any case!

Share a picture that is UNFOCUSED with everyone! 

New to The Daily Post? Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’re invited to get involved in our Weekly Photo Challenge to help you meet your blogging goals and give you another way to take part in Post a Day / Post a Week. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

Here’s how it works:

1. Each week, we’ll provide a theme for creative inspiration. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog anytime before the following Friday when the next photo theme will be announced.

2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “Weekly Photo Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.

3. Subscribe to The Daily Post so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements. Sign up via the email subscription link in the sidebar or RSS

    I feel I might be cheating a little this week, but what many would think should be in focus in my picture, is definitely unfocused.

  16. Always been the dissident to focus life earnestly

    the inability to focus on the things I should have devoted more;
    be it study, play and love.

  26. The image came out totally unfocused;
    and yet, I just loved it and never even thought of deleting it.
    Those lights tell me a beautiful story with their fuzzy lines.
    In the light of the day, the image will be totally different!

    That’s just how life is. There is beauty in everything…
    I believe that’s the only way to stay sane in this crazy world :)

    May 4, 2012

    Nice idea. Photography is a lot like golf. Once in awhile you take a lucky shot.

    May 4, 2012
    • That is so true, I know so well :)

      May 4, 2012
  36. A touch challenge indeed. I guess I am a fanatic about keeping only in-focus shots in my archives. http://thestyledancer.com/2012/05/04/weekly-photo-challenge-unfocused/

  48. Not easy this week, I usually delete anything I am not happy with, so it took a little trawling to find anything. Although not as unfocused as I would like to have found for this weeks challenge, here is my contribution http://hurtlingtowards60.wordpress.com/2012/05/04/weekly-photo-challenge-unfocused/

  53. My “unfocused” picture: http://thepositivepage.com/2012/05/04/last-thoughts-unfocused-the-wordpress-weekly-photo-challenge/

    I still like this picture, even though I only got one shot at it and it came out unfocused. Five year olds move pretty fast when things get scary!

    May 4, 2012
  54. Wow. I have a lot of photos to choose from for this challenge! :-) I’ll be back with my entry later.

    May 4, 2012
  55. I substitute taught 7th grade today. Had a great day until 7th period when two 13-year-old boys were past their ability to focus. Came home from one unfocused challenge to another. This one was easier.

  61. I love the theme this week – a chance to show we’re all only human and can make mistakes sometimes – even if it’s only an unfocused photo! I hope you enjoy my “mistakes” :-)
