About Object Blur

It’s difficult to put into words what this group is all about but an attempt has been made below.

For colour photographs of an object set against a blurred background. The image should be uncluttered so that the object is the main focus with an abundance of blurred background as the backdrop. The appearance of the subject must be in focus and clean-cut surrounded by plenty of space.

WARNING: Guideline intensive group If you like s t r e t c h i n g group guidelines this is not the group for you. There's loads of rules so here are some visual examples:



Guidelines/Rules

Most subjects are acceptable but they must be uncomplicated and the frame uncluttered giving the images a clean cut appearance with a substantial amount of blurred background.

No silhouettes, the object must be visible.

Types of images that are excluded from the pool. This list has developed according to whether an image fitted the ambience/mood/vibe of the group:
people, reflections, plants and trees with too many leaves/branches, flowers with too many stems/leaves.

===================================================

PLEASE NOTE: This is a regular straightforward colour photography pool to enable the subject to be seen as it was captured so no black and white, monochrome, duotone, negatives, heavy manipulations, negatives, double exposures, infrared, unsubtle HDR, light experiments, mosaics, montages, collages, computer graphics, screen grabs, screen captures, screen shots, Polaroids, elaborate or decorative borders (borderless preferred), titles, signatures, watermarks or drawings/paintings.

Images that don't fit the guidelines will be removed from the pool. If one of your images has disappeared you may find the explanation in the group description above. If you don't understand why your image has been removed please contact one of the admins by Flickr e-mail.
