Exploring the theme of “out of focus” proved both challenging and enlightening during my recent visit to Huntley Meadows Park in Alexandria, Virginia. Armed with my versatile 200-500mm f5.6 long-range lens, I set out to capture the essence of this concept in its myriad forms.

In the tranquil moments by the water’s edge, the gentle sway of reeds blurred into a soothing rhythm, reminding me of nature’s constant motion even in stillness. Conversely, amidst the bustling wildlife, the blur became a canvas for the vibrant energy of life, captured in fleeting glimpses and subtle movements.

Reflecting on my journey, I realized that beauty often lies in the interplay of light and shadow, motion and stillness. Embracing the out-of-focus invites us to see beyond the surface and discover hidden truths, reminding us that sometimes, it’s the things just out of focus that hold the greatest meaning of all.
