Examples of camera movement speed on ICM

After shooting some images during a snowstorm last week I realized I had some good examples of how the speed of camera movement can have a great effect on ICM images.

The following shows the original scene, followed by a progression in camera movement during the exposure. I have put this up as a blog entry on my site if anyone is interested in learning more, but would be interested if anyone has any thoughts/favorites or even just prefer the original.

I tend to like the "slight" ICM of your second photograph as my eye can define what I am seeing....a more ethereal scene.

It's the way I view the world since my rose-colored glasses broke oh so many years ago.

I want to thank you for continuing to post ICM and most importantly: The How and Why's.

Thanks for your kindness Dean. I was waiting to see what others thought, but am happy as my goal in this shot was to maintain the essence of the scene and adding a balanced amount of ICM to make it a bit more impressionistic.

All the shots are really an attempt to capture what was achieved in #2, there really are fine lines for what works in ICM and what just look like mistakes.
