This is one of my most challenging double-IMPRINT ICM images. Taken in a snow-covered park in winter as part of festive celebrations, this image is of a single tree, adorned with lights.

As a single exposure, the tree was positioned at the left of the frame.
Once the shutter opened the camera was held briefly (allowing an imprint of the scene on the sensor), before moving in a wave like fashion with the tree ending up on the right of the frame.
Following this repositioning the camera was again held until the shutter closed.

Given the fact that once the viewfinder was black throughout the exposure getting tree positioned correctly (both in frame position and horizontally), and the desired camera motion proved challenging.

All hand-held, shutter time was 2-1/2 seconds at f4
