Focus, so what?
Sharp photos, is that what makes a great shot? As we all know there are endless comments on what makes a sharp photo, all over the net, and almost all tests are about more pixels and the perfect lens. Looking for a site focused on the content and interpretation of images--- I wish there are some. Please let me know.
At least I can be happy about an image -- even if it is a none sharp one. Just take a look at photo, by the world famous Henri Cartier-Bresson, published in the book by Aperture 1976 (ISBN 0-89381-000-2) on page 25, there is a photo titled --Arena at Valencia, Spain, 1933--.
It is obviously a none focued photo, but so open for symmetry and thoughts. Just look for the circles!
In most situations of there is limited time for recording the moment you see and sometime you shot from the hip as in the situation below. A sunny day at Grand Canaria, on the way back to the hotel, I got the eyes on a situation giving a chance to thoughts. The camera, Leica M2, had a normal lens and I did not focused before shooting. It is not sharp!! But may be worth sharing??
