My small (very small) collection of lenses deliver
wonderfully sharp images. Detail that is so sharp that it can almost seem
sharper than the eye. Oftentimes I will make a picture with sharp close-up
focus against a soft diffused background, to concentrate the eye and paint the
surroundings in large brushstrokes. And sometimes, I’m quite happy to make
pictures that are completely out-of-focus, either by accident or by design.
Images like this can be very dreamy in nature, whether they
are created by lens defocussing or from pinhole cameras. For me, this has to be
done in camera; the results look fake and artificial if done in Photoshop.
Messing about with camera can give some interesting results. I don’t care if it’s not meant to be done; it just gives me the fuzzy warbles…

The colours, tones and shapes on that second, orange-cream-brown one are very tasty indeed.
