Post by: Sean Locke Photography on July 18, 2013, 05:45: Is poor exposure, bad white balance and boring posing an effect? Lol. Or do you mean the blue haze and the odd white space at the top right?

More rubber stamp acceptances at work.

Yup, the blue haze and odd white space. ;)

The blue blur?
Is that what you mean?

Probably by holding a piece of blue mentos foil or something between the lens and subject out of dof of course.

In the photo below I created the blur on the right side by holding flowers up in front of the lens.
And why? To immitate a feeling of authenticity and snapshot.

poor buggar, having that kind of thing be so high priced when no doubt there's pages of grassy backgrounds (mine included, now at rock bottom prices)

Maybe not - just better photos are wildly underpriced!
