I’m not going to subject you to the file of unfocused photographs I managed to take with my new pocket camera over at the weekend – some of them might amuse us but in the end they’ll make me cry.
So, instead of a little taste of Bible Rock, or Wesak preparations in the villages we passed through, I can’t resist posting Unfocused Mark II – Tet Celebrations on Halong Bay. Both absolutely unplanned, both way out of focus, and both, I think, fabulous shots. And while you’re having a peek at them, I’ll get back to that inbox – I’m determined to empty it today:)
Tet Celebrations, Halong Bay
Ships lights and Tet fireworks, Halong Bay
Stunning! Love the reflection on the water. 🙂
*hugs*
Hugs to you too, Sonel. Many thanks for stopping by:)
Love teh relfections, & I’ve got ones like your second photo 🙂
They’re magical, aren’t they?
yeah 🙂
Sometimes less focus is more…
Sometimes … 🙂 Thanks Ella!
Fabulous indeed! Glad you decided to share these!
Me too, really. I’ve been trying to be more decisive on my first choice, but it seems I can’t, so I get to share a couple of favs:) Glad you liked them too Madhu.
I’m so glad you shared these – they are magical. If it takes lack of focus to make images like these, then I’m all for it!
Ah, how perfectly lovely you are dear Viv:)
They are stunning pics
Many thanks SidevieW. And thanks for dropping by … 🙂

I love the reflections of light on water, the shades of gold in the first shot.
when I first loaded it onto the computer I was devastated (of course) that it wasn’t in focus, but it wasn’t long before those gorgeous golden ripples and reflections won me over. Now I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Just lovely. These pictures make me think of magical things; sparkles, shooting stars, glitter. Thank you for sharing them, Mere.
Both pretty!
🙂 Tilly
Ah, I see. The lights on the water are dramatic and lovely. What a wonderful surprise!
Thank you for visiting and commenting on my mufflers. I assumed real photographers would think they were child’s play. 🙂
I think real photographers find beauty and interest in whatever catches their fancy. You turned a muffler grave into a place of textural beauty. Brava!
These are beautiful photographs – it is as if they are meant to be unfocused 🙂
They are, aren’t they, Colline? As I said, I was disappointed at first, but I love them now and wouldn’t have it the more conventional way:)

Coming from a self proclaimed master I don’t know how you take this: They’re both beautiful and don’t look unfocussed at all, I love them!
It’s just one of those things! I was trying for much more realistic shots – now I can’t imagine why
By the way, I’ll answer your Bougainvillea question and gather together the links you’ll need to stop the email influx. But right not, you can stop making future problems for yourself by adopting a new protocol when you’re making a comment on anyone’s blog. There is now a little blue tick in one of the boxes immediately below the comment box you type in. YOU MUST DISABLE IT before you post your comment!
thanks for the tip, shall follow the rule! also when wp reports 500 spam and 65 ham is their filter actually doing its job accurately?
