ICM stands for intentional camera movement…

Bravo!

Post by: KMRennie on April 19, 2017, 07:35:04 am: Thanks everyone. I am surprised nobody has noticed the dust spots. I have also cropped a bit off the bottom of this image and I prefer it although it does put the horizon close to the middle but I don't really care about photographic rules if the image looks better. Shot at f32 to give me along enough shutter speed to get some movement robably the reason that previously unnoticed dust spots appear oh just think of the quality loss through diffraction. Ken

Ken

I just figured the dust spots were marks on my screen! They are easily fixed, but what a photograph!

Post by: KMRennie on April 20, 2017, 07:04:04 am: I thought that I would let you see the original scene without me twisting the camera rapidly. I can't remember whether clockwise or anticlockwise a phrase that will soon to be explained as the time display on peoples' phone doesn't rotate( grumpy old codger!). Even if it sounds pretentious "I was trying to capture my mood in that time and location without the detail getting in the way". Final shot without spots, I think that I might enter it in the Edinburgh International Exhibition of Photography you never know what meaning judges will find in it.

Historic Note This part of Scotland facing England, less than a mile away, was patrolled by Robert Burns poet and exciseman and the writer of some of the best poems/ songs in the Scots/ English language, I am a Scot and could be a tad biased. The thought of a young man speaking "Ae Fond Kiss" to a woman may go some way in explaining the number of children that he fathered to different women. Ken
