Immer häufiger wird über UFO-Sichtungen berichtet. Hier eine erste (leider unscharfe) Aufnahme von Außerirdischen, deren UFO in unserem Garten landete.
Smile on Saturday 'nothing in focus' theme.

Edited for Smile on Saturday's #nothinginfocus theme.
I had to rely on my archive for this one but, luckily, I've always been fascinated by what happens when you consciously choose to unfocus your lens. This is one of a few things my friend Peter and I have found to have in common... :-) I find images with colours and simple shapes particularly effective with this technique, or maybe that's just my own preferences. These blurred images make for far quicker edits, too...always good in my book.
This is a paint palette (which has cropped up before in my images), with a slight/subtle creative touch from Topaz.
Many thanks to Peter W for nominating this theme!
Happy Saturday everyone, or what's left of it anyway...
(Apologies if the colours blind anyone; i'm editing in the dark which is never a good thing.)
For the SoS group: "nothing in focus"
Just looking out the front door as it rained! The white and red rhododendrons are in full bloom just now, with the yellow of the euonymus fortunei too. I left in a fraction of the wooden door frame, and a hint of the pine trees on the hillside across the howe. The Helios lens is so good at giving bokeh too.
If you'd like to see the original it's in the first comment field.
Shot with the Canon EOS 70D and the Helios 44-2 lens.
Have a happy 'blurry' weekend 😊

A copper BB on the magnetic material from a 5 inch floppy disk. In front of several white Christmas lights and a single snood light. A Nikkor - S 50mm 1.4 and stacked 40mm macro tubes. Depths of focus is about 1mm. It would have been hard to put in Focus. Happy Smile on Saturday. the old photographer.
Everything was a blur
but
the feelings were real.

Thanks for views, faves and comments!
This Challenge wasn`t as easy as i thought. When you are used to process images with focused details then you have to make a change according to your automatism in your mind if you need to shoot blurred, not in focus images :)
What you see is an bottle of Eau de Tolilette ! Here you can check out how it looks sharply in focus :)

Smile on Saturday: "Nothing In Focus"
Yes, this is what I see when I take my glasses off. I call it "soft focus".
I was fortunate to have one of those few days when we actually have coulds in the central valley. It makes a world of difference with these types of shots.

Sometimes beautiful things need to be blurred
to maintain focus on the important ones.

Thanks for views, faves and comments!
Had to wait 15 minutes for a car to go in front of me so I could get the tail lights. Manual focus to get blurry effect.
This photo cost me $12 Bucks USD.... but it's all worth it for "Smile on Saturday".... plus I get a clean car!!
For Smile on Saturday
Theme: Nothing in Focus
The theme for Smile on Saturday for the 29th of May is “nothing in focus”. As soon as the theme was announced, I knew exactly the photo I wanted to use.
I recently took a short holiday to Victoria’s Alpine Region with some friends. As part of the trip, we took in the small township of Wandiligong. We were there very early on the morning of the 1st of May for a dawn photography walk to capture the autumnal colours in the brilliant morning light. One of my shots of the former Wandiligong Church of England was all blurred because of the brilliant sun rising in the east flooding my lens. I didn’t delete it because I personally quite liked it. It has some pretty bokeh, light and colours in it, even if it is out of focus. I never thought it would find its way onto Flickr, until the “nothing in focus” theme was announced! I hope that you like this photo for the same reasons I do, and that you have a smile filled Saturday.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
I apologise if this one makes you rub your eyes and doubt your senses. Please feel free to look away and quickly move on! I've added a large frame to the image in the hope that it gives everyone's eyes a brief rest from the blurry sea of images they've been looking at. :)
When we're so used to focussing on something, it's a very strange experience at first to deliberately NOT focus on anything, so I was surprised how much I enjoyed this week's challenge. It's actually quite liberating and allows you to see soft colours and impressions you would otherwise miss. Many thanks to Peter Whitfield for suggesting this theme.
I used my Lensbaby Velvet 56 lens because it's manual focus and it's very happy being soft anyway.

FILTER ND 64 - Sunset Light
shutter 10 sec, When you shoot you open to lower one of the legs of the cavallet and this effect can be without shaking the image. You have to be very careful with the camera and another person to help you open the legs while you watch the camera, helper my husband
To fix the image, two shots are used, one normal and one moving to make a double exposure, first the still image and then the moving image, all in Raw.
I do not like to explain my processes but in this case I have done it so that you know how it was achieved.
ps: when you shoot you must wait to lower the first curtain and then release
Smile on Saturday! :-)
Theme Saturday, May 29 - "NOTHING IN FOCUS"
The Looking Close on Friday group’s theme for 8/27 is to create a close up black and white picture in which nothing is in focus. And I was determined to use my cellphone’s camera - at this point the 6 month experiment is now in its 8th month!!
But the thing about cellphones is that they want to *fix* your focus. So we’re smarter than our smartphones, right? A couple of the experimental ones are with a very thin plastic bag covering the lens. There are eight b&w pictures in my photostream from experimenting.
The fridge magnet is my favorite, although his unfocused countenance can be attributed to graininess, caused by under-exposed nighttime lighting. I hope it works cause I liked it better than any of the other 7.
i tried softening the grainy quality -- see the first comment box.
anybody want to see what he looks like on my frig?
This is for the Smile on Saturday theme today of Nothing in Focus.
Whoever thought of the theme has some serious questions to answer… I mean, if you can’t actually see what the photograph is of, what’s left to look at? :)
This is one of those themes where I am more interested in seeing what other people come up with than actually having much of an idea of how best to do it myself.
I have lots of intentional movement and motion blur images mouldering in my back catalogue, but this week I wanted to make a fresh image without movement: something that just captured the light and the colours and the shapes, and not the detail, just enough to tell what we are looking at.
Harrumph. I had several attempts during the week, taking flowers and trees and landscapes, and… well, nothing worked. Disappointingly, this is not a new experience for me.
So desperation was settling in this morning, ever the spur of creativity... or perhaps despair. I’d been out for breakfast (fried egg and bacon, yey!!! … but I digress) and was driving back. I pulled over into a layby and thought about taking some blurry landscapes, but they turned out to have nothing in them, except of course blur. Then I had this idea of taking a picture of the passing cars…
This was the second layby - there’s nothing like refining your technique. (Er, what technique?)
I found that red cars were best, but getting the timing right was a bit tricky. This was one of the better ones. And the 45-degree angle was deliberate, not some effect from the early morning coffee: to give a sense of dynamism you see. Ok that’s two ideas in one day - I blame it on the bacon and eggs :)
As it's got a sense of motion from the blur and the tilt I'll add it to my Motion 100x project which is hopelessly behind just now :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. I also hope you enjoyed the theme as much as I did looking at all the creations people have put in. Happy Smile on Saturday and 100x!
