Alright another try ....

So I'm at the shore headed out for sunrise and waves. However there is a blanket of fog and i can't see more than 50 feet, so i figure ill try this ICM thing that everyone is talking about.
I decided to use the blue hour tones against the glowing street lights on the path above the shoreline.

That's really cool. Nicely done!

Thanks Bryan!

Success! You've done it! True minimalism, Joseph. I knew you could... ;-)

Personally, I find ICM a P in the A as such, but not caring how you came up with this, it's a fine image. Your eye for composition and drama have combined to give a really fine result.

Haha thanks Chris ICM is fun and the light trails in near darkness made for a different kind of look, I think i will definitely keep trying this out in different scenarios.

Seeing as I've focused primarily on ICM for quite some time now, it saddens me to see you find ICM a P in the A, Chris! :(

I suppose it isn't to everyone's taste, and a LOT of it out there is not good...so, I can definitely understand where you're coming from, and I know a lot of folks share your opinion about it. My hope with the work I do is to show it can be done to create aesthetically pleasing abstracts.

I'd love for you to have a look at the images in my portfolio and tell me if they don't change your mind about ICM, even just a bit. :)

I've just done that, Stephanie! And - yes, they are changing my prejudiced mind. I'll have to give your portfolio images some ratings. They're great!

Thanks so much, Chris! I appreciate that. 😊

I think you need to ditch your tripod and join in the fun Chris......I know you have it in you....... :-)

A very cool ICM, Joseph. I love the minimalism, lines, and color.

Thank you Stephanie it was a fun experiment when there was no light on the landscape, nice gallery demonstrating ICM by the way.

Thanks, Joseph, for the kind words. ICM is my passion and the primary focus for my photographic work. 😊 Cant remenber the last time i took a 'normal' photo. 🤣

Nice job Joe, it's nice to see a different perspective.

Thanks Alan and yes it is ;)
