epäterävät

Epäterävät is a Finnish word that translates to "blurry" or "out of focus" in English. It is used to describe images, photographs, or any visual perception that lacks sharpness and clarity. This lack of definition can be due to various factors, such as improper focusing during photography, low-resolution images, or even issues with the viewer's own eyesight.

In photography, an epäterävä image is generally considered undesirable, as it fails to capture fine details. Photographers strive for sharp, clear images to convey their intended subject matter effectively. Techniques like adjusting aperture, shutter speed, and ensuring correct focus are crucial in achieving this. However, sometimes an epäterävä effect is intentionally created for artistic purposes, to evoke a sense of dreaminess, movement, or to draw attention to a specific element within the frame.

Beyond photography, the term can be applied metaphorically. For instance, a person's memory of an event might be described as epäterävä if it is vague and lacks specific details. Similarly, an explanation or idea could be considered epäterävä if it is unclear or poorly articulated. The core concept remains the absence of distinctness and precision.
