Accidental

Well, I was trying to use my phone in particular for the blurism technique challenge http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/24479/technique-challenge-36-blurism And because today was an ugly day, I wanted to attempt it with my Samsung S5 (waterproof and can use selective focus).

I tried all day at my different stops (the soccer field in the rain, the houses outside, my kids playing PS4) to use it for a blurred effect on the object not in focus, and I was either going to crop to capture the blurred area or take it a bit further in the editing.

I was not looking to do any ICM, but between shots I took this one by accident! It's of a cement wall in the waiting area of the guitar shop where my daughter had her first lesson.

I used the editor in the phone exclusively--why? I just like showing folks that it's possible to get what you want from the phone its self--you don't have to overthink it. Oh, and if you're me, you don't even have to know that you are actually taking the shot! I only discovered it after trying to review all my other attempts to pick "the one." Accidents happen. Thankfully.
I like it!
Personalizing my response, I love a "watered" image with nice coloration...I'd use it as a filter or backdrop for another photo or text, as in, writing an email to a friend... "Loving" so many pictures as I do, it does have a way of overstuffing the hard drive...

It's on the phone only fortunately. I just thought it was funny I didn't even know I took the shot, but it worked for the challenge!
