I got an idea yesterday when I sat editing the shots from the Linnaeus' garden. Wouldn't it be fun to have a themed thread where we post shots we have made that are in an impressionist or pictorialist vein? Photography doesn't all have to be about perfect details. Let's play with presenting ideas in broad strokes and artistic interpretations instead.

I'll leave the EXIF out of the post, but if someone is interested, most, if not all of the EXIF is available by clicking on my photos to get to my gallery space. 

 

I usually have some little detail that is about as sharp as usual, just to catch the eye and make the viewer think...

Great idea Peter - I like it.

I can't believe it.

I wait an hour for a bus, and this lot show up.

If two out of three in my first post were impressionist, here are two shots of a geranium that are more in a pictorialist vein.

The Swan's pond, sans swans, but with released carp.

Apparently, some idiots release their carp in this artificial pond for some reason.

Some mirrors & an 8mm lens may have been involved here.
