This photographer’s work is extraordinary in capturing mood and feel. Everyone on here to thinks your focus needs to be sharp makes me want to puke. Grow up.

Emon Hassan…Your photos are wonderful. I was very impressed with the way they seem to speak something about the person in the photos, and you can almost feel yourself being there. You should be very proud of your work.

I do not get the point that you have to be out of focus or break rules (knowingly or unknowingly) to create an “Art”. Frankly, Tac-Sharp doesn’t necessarily means a great picture (or Art) but lack of sharpness in all three pictures looks odd to me. The pictures would stand much better if they were a bit sharper or have some clear subject.

I am not going to debate on the “Art”, “Imagination” things as they are very subjective. But evidently not everyone (being polite) considered these pictures worthy. When you can’t see the beauty of an Art at first (or after several) glances and have to use some kind of unknown Imagination, then I will focus on something else.

True photography is about the image.. and less about the technical stuff. Some of the best photographs are made with a manual camera, while other a completely technically correct and tack sharp and totally UNinteresting. But that defines the difference between photography/photographers and “camera enthusiasts.”

As I’ve said before, if you cut all the pictures from a book of great works by the masters of photography and matted them up for a showing (without telling anyone where they came from), most of the folks who viewed them would be able to tell you all kinds of things that were wrong with them.
A photograph is a work of art. It should stand as such.
The more accomplished one is as an artist, the less one feels obligated to criticize another’s work.

Images not sharp?

That’s hilarious. That’s not even an argument. Quit learning about your camera and start learning about photography. Don’t think that knowing technicalities means you’re experienced, and making such a irrelevant comment proves you’re not. Concept is king. Photos aren’t worth crap if you can’t deliver the concept of it to the audience at first glance.

People these days use technical knowledge to offset the lack of conceptual skill.

Funny I should say that none of the pictures look any great unless someone connect some kind of incomprehensible art sense to it. They look very ordinary. The wow factor is missing in all of them

In addition to what Joseph advised, I’d say shooting from the hip has been the best way for me. I just like the shots better, but that’s my taste. I’d recently shot New Yorkers watching the Veteran’s Day parade like that and it gave me pretty good results.
