Focus

Focus: Such a fundamental aspect of Photography. Badly focused shots are always binned. Get it right in camera then sometimes add blur back in during post processing. But, as photographers, we are very selective about where we want that focus point to be and where and to what degree the blur is allowed. Life has been a bit like that recently.. 

Not blurred lines, but lack of focus. In fact perhaps too much busyness which is crowding out what the main focus should be. Certainly not enough walking the dog time! Time to reassess me thinks! 

This shot was taken at the Karangahake gorge, a beautiful old mining spot which I mentioned in the blog post 'Tunnel'. here is the link to the Department of Conservation's site. http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/tracks-and-walks/bay-of-plenty/tauranga/karangahake-gorge-historic-walkway/ 

The photo itself was taken with my much loved Sigma 10-20 at 10mm, f/7.1 1/125 s at ISO 800. It was a pretty dreary day hence the ISO but I was on a tripod which is unusual for me. I processed it in raw then did my Black and white convesion using Topaz Labs BW Effects. Software that I absolutely love and cannot do without.

    I am a visual person. I find that surrounding myself in creation, feasting my eyes on what is before me and daydreaming a little is great refreshment for my soul. I also read avidly about trends, techniques and technicalities associated with visual art. When I can, I love assigning large chunks of time responding to what I see and crafting my own art. Here is a place to put that down.
