^Also had that blur feature happen to a couple cheapo cameras.
Those start to get expensive when replaced every year or so.
Someday I'll need to plunk down for a decent industrial-strength one..

But hey why not use blurry lens to an advantage?
The organic chiaroscuro combined with a warm glow of lights makes a interesting picture, at least for my own artistic fixation at the moment.

Another use of other photo elements which I want to get more of is red and yellow sunset background, maybe off clouds, crackly sharp dark bare trees, lumpy dirt road, cool blue snow scattered everywhere, warm streetlight, shadows to blanket everything and confuse the eye for a second to make the viewer figure out the geometry of it all.
A swirling mix of elements fighting and interplaying against themselves. Random confusion turns into complex reality.
That sort of thing.

I've seen it a few times but didn't have a camera.
Still have to find those perfect spots at the perfect time.
