About the Image(s)

I wanted to try some ICM, and kind of like how this turned out. I moved the camera vertically while shooting some birch trees near us. It was set at ISO 160, 79mm, F/8, and 1/30 second.

I appreciate your suggestions. Thanks!

PS:- ICM = Intentional Camera Movement

Wow , this is just too good , digital art at its best. Looks like abstract art yet seems to draw one in the frame. Also reminds me of blurred moving trees movement.   Posted: 12/05/2023 08:36:02

Really like this - a lot! The colours are soft and lovely. I get a real sense of movement from the blurring. I can tell they are tree trunks that have been abstracted and I like that I know what I'm looking at. I'm not one for pure abstract, but altered reality can be so great to view.

I have no suggestions other than to keep up the great artistic work.   Posted: 12/16/2023 10:09:49
