Out of focus pictures are NOT automatically art.
Take a picture of your cat, dog, little sister, a mountain, a tree, a car, etc, etc, and it looks blurry???
Throw it away! Delete it, if digital!
Don't foist it on the viewing public and ask for commentary.
(I won't even go down the "and be nice" clause...)
Because the first comment will be "learn how the focus works on your camera"
{/rant}
Notes:
If you WANT it to out focus and it looks good, then it's ART.
If you got a cool effect, then it's found ART.
Posting a blurry pic and asking "why it's out of focus" is a valid question.

Date: 2005-01-26 02:01 am (UTC)Most fuzzy digital images are not out of focus per se... they're either too close to be within the depth of field of the lens in the first place, or are shot in iffy light conditions without flash, resulting in too long of an exposure length to hand-hold.
