[Leica] IMG: Cello bow blurring

[Mark Rabiner]

I think its great to get some depth of field. Both the cello and piano
behind sharp. That's what I'd have gone for. Had I focused on the cellist
and gotten the pianist in swirling field of wonderful bokeh I'd have not
showed it to anybody I think.

Blur from camera movement I try to avoid.
Blur from missing my focus I try real hard to avoid. (I stop down one or
two, or three whenever I possibly can)
But blur from subject moment with everything else being sharp I think is an
assent instead of a liability.
Its a good thing. Makes the shot more real somehow.

A couple of my shots along these lines...:
