During my last outing to capture the willow tree image (posted earlier) I tried a number of ICM motions just to see what resulted and may be refined in future shots.
Although largely unsuccessful as profile images I thought I'd pass on results just so others can see the sort of effects that can be achieved.
The first and second are ITR shots (the first added to my portfolio, the 2nd you have seen), the rest are the result of various camera movements. All non-ITR shots were taken in around a 1/4sec exposure.
Take out of it what you will, just sharing to prompt ideas and discussion.
I much prefer your #2 and secondarily the last one.
Thanks Charles, it's great to have your feedback.
Nice shots !
Is that a 'zoom burst' on #3 ;-) ? looks a bit aggressive on a tree, I think.
#5 has a painterly look that I really like.
my top three is #5, #6 and #2 in that order.
Yeah, #3 is a zoom burst as you suggest. I was actually trying to be subtle with the effect but as you know the result is extremely variable.
It's interesting to hear that you prefer the more abstract images in the series - I like these myself and was wondering how they would go down.
