Synopsis

What we perceive as blur functions in very much the same manner as deep shadows or overexposed highlights. By minimising or concealing certain details in the image by selectively throwing areas out of focus at will, the photographer can direct a viewer's attention through the image as he or she intends. Like the rest stops in a piece of music, creatively manipulated zones of softness can totally govern a photograph's overall impact. There are dozens of ways to selectively reduce sharpness in any part of an image, all of which this guide outlines.
