Weekly Photo Challenge: Unfocused

photo courtesy of Sara Rosso
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!

Love this theme LOL
Here’s mine, http://missperfectlyimperfect.wordpress.com/2012/05/04/weekly-photo-challenge-unfocused/
It’s posted in all of it’s blurriness. http://thebestyearsare.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=196&action=edit&message=6&postpost=v2
You’ve posted the wrong link. The link you’ve posted is to your WordPress dashboard.
Here’s the correct link:
http://thebestyearsare.wordpress.com/2012/05/04/weekly-photo-challenge-blurred/
Thank you. Did it actually go to my dashboard?
Yes it did go to your dashboard, but anyone clicking the link (except you), would just get the following message: “You are not allowed to edit this item.”
If you log out of your account and try to follow the link you can see.
Let’s see how unfocused it looks or if not..
http://implicado.wordpress.com/2012/05/04/weekly-photo-challenge-unfocused/
un·fo·cused also un·fo·cussed ( n-f k st). adj. 1. Not brought into focus: an unfocused lens. 2. Not centered on anything specific. Here is my interpretation. http://wp.me/1G51W
I curse this theme: http://insellos.wordpress.com/2012/05/05/weekly-photo-challenge-unfocused/
Hello all … here’s my take on the Unfocused theme.
http://stephenkellycreative.wordpress.com/2012/05/04/weekly-photo-challenge-unfocused/
somehow unfocused, but still big enough to conceal it!
http://implicado.wordpress.com/2012/05/04/popocatepetl-mexicos-city-view/
Here’s mine. As always, it’s a bit silly.
http://thepurpledogpaintingblog.com/2012/05/04/weekly-photo-challenge-unfocused/
http://wp.me/p1SQnJ-gj Great, they wanted the shots I throw away!
I’m so glad I didn’t get rid of all my unfocused photos. Here is my entry unfocused birds of prey.

oh wow, Sara, and i thought ‘sun’ was a tough challenge. that was nothing compared to this! what a most unusual topic for a photo challenge.
and then, suddenly out of the blue, some unfocussed moments came into focus and here they are: http://wp.me/p1hfki-2mL
Great to see a site like this where we can share ideas and comments.
Check uot my blurred photos. http://watcholdmantime.wordpress.com/2012/05/05/weekly-photo-challenge-unfocused/

Thanks for gathering all these lovely photographs together.
I’ve never taken a photo that is supposed to be like this! Here is my flower!

here’s mine: http://joknut.wordpress.com/2012/05/05/weekly-photo-challenge-unfocused/
I am among the cursing crowd
. I’ve stayed up till very late last night trying to blur some pics, were gutted with the results and am totally at lost. I know there are some great photographers out there that take pics of dancers and their movement and it is all very well, but I wanted to come up with some fresh idea of my own. I have to say honestly that I really don’t like the picture presented up here for this week’s theme.
Enjoying the diversity of this challenge. And I couldn’t resist another entry, once again from my time in the land of the maple leaf. This one is for sports fans (ice hockey to be precise). http://cinova.wordpress.com/2012/05/05/weekly-photo-challenge-unfocused-2/
That’s fair…I knew not everyone would like it
We’ll see how you do next week!
But I did take the bait, and took a picture specifically to meet this challenge.. but I had to do something I believed in… so here it is http://bopaula.wordpress.com/2012/05/06/weekly-photo-challenge-unfocused/

My photo is completely focused… but the people in it are not, they prefer to do something else
http://seeloveremember.wordpress.com/2012/05/05/weekly-photo-challenge-unfocused/
WordPress has ticked a box by default which up to yesterday was always unticked and I am receiving all your comments which is flooding my email
I agree, VERY annoying!
yes indeed…they need to rectify that immediately!
You are kidding? (got that mail haha!)
Yes, I just noticed that too.
http://autumninbruges.wordpress.com/2012/05/04/weekly-photo-challenge-unfocused/
Sometimes, in order to learn, one must go against all knowledge, leaping out of the box as if there was never one to begin with. http://joycannis.wordpress.com/2012/05/05/weekly-photo-challenge-unfocused/
Really different this week… My entry here!

Finding an unfocused photo was a difficult task. I eventually selected one of an aircraft on fire.

Hey everyone. I was tempted to do a self portrait, as I can be pretty unfocused at times, but that’s not how I went.
http://stumbler2001.wordpress.com/2012/05/05/weekly-photo-challenge-unfocused/
I enjoyed looking through the photos I had saved but thought they would never be shared

What an interesting challenge again! Thanks.
Great photo! Funny how something unfocused can have so much beauty as well.

I just want to add that I am not “trashing” this week’s photo challenge and perhaps I should’ve been a little bit more careful with my words. I just found it an unusual challenge and I just felt very uninspired. That’s just my opinion. I looked at what others have been posting and I saw how this week’s topic was met to the challenge. We have some really great contributors in the WordPress Community so in hindsight, it was a great topic after all.
Sarah, my apologies if my comments in my blog regarding this week’s topic offended you. I can own up to my mistakes.
maybe even with such an unusual topic it is possible to present inspiring photos?
