This must qualify for this thread: no camera used at all so maximum unsharpness ....

(however, clients didn't know, so they bought it)

free unlensing :)

People obsessed with image sharpness sometimes can do themselves a favour by thinking outside the box for a while.

There might even be money in it ....

This image was really an accident, as I automatically pushed the shutter release when I stepped out of my car and didn't realise immediately the snow covered mirrorlike ice underneath.  You fall hard in those cases, but I had heard the camera went off so checked the display to see the image taken. Well, a pattern of sorts had been captured, so didn't delete the file.

Submitted it to my stock agency and a couple of days later it had sold for $1000.

I'm sure there is a lesson of morale hidden here?

The boy is 10, 11, 13?

He does not look like he knows what he is doing, yet he seems to be fully involved.

Yes Frank  ;)

I guess not older than 12, fully busy with his new gear, I suppose.  Forgetting the complete world around him.
