Challenge: Blurry Mess (Basic Editing)
Camera: Sony Ericsson Z550i
Location: Port Fairy, Vic, Australia
Date: Mar 9, 2008
Galleries: Performance
Date Uploaded: Mar 10, 2008

I really wanted to use a photo of the "sunday singalong" at the Port Fairy Folk festival...nothing could come close to it in terms of a 'blurry mess'...but I didn't even vaguely like any of the shots, so here's a shot of Angie Hart in the Big Top a bit earlier on Sunday evening

Taken with my Phone, so it was always going to be blurry.

Only editing was a slight crop, and a desaturation.

The way I see it, hundreds of photos that look something like this are taken every time someone picks up a guitar and walks on stage these days, yet even the blurry messes can evoke great memories if it's a good show.

I like that you've captured blurry and messy in a unique way. Nice job.

not very creative in my book or colorful,not that you have to have color but it would help this image in my opinion

I like the inclusion of the light in the top right and far left. Balanced with highlights of the singer and guitar player gives the image a nice triangle of light to keep me moving around the image, engaging me.

Wonderful gritty picture -- the blur and technical "imperfections" add a lot of punch. It makes me feel like I'm there making my way through the crowd.
