Fuzzy

Since got this new camera, I have been enjoying the ability to take out-of-focus photos. My old Lumix only had auto focus, so it was almost impossible to play with any settings.

I think it is just a phase, and I will some day look back and say "why did I put that out-of-focus crap on my site?", but for now I kinda like these. I know a lot of people think that taking a blurry photo is a cheap and quick way to get "artsy", and I often look at these and think maybe that is what I am trying to do. Although, I have in-focus versions of all of these and they were among the first to be thrown away because they were just plain boring.

I also wonder if maybe the only reason I like these is that I took them. When I put photos up,. I always try to imagine what I would think if I saw them on someone elses site. Sometimes I know I wouldn't even give them a second glance... but I put the photos up anyway because they are my birds. These however, I am not really sure why I keep them.
