Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) is a lot of fun and I'm trying to do more of it. I love abstract art and this is a way to achieve it with a camera in my hand. I shot this last fall on a particularly foggy day on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I wanna say was something like f/22 with a polarizer trying to buy all the time I could to slow the shutter down to get the movement I wanted. On tripod, I moved from top to bottom to blur the trees and leaves. These aren't easy to do- at least not to do well. It takes a lot of practice to get good at taking blurry photos! This one landed me a finalist spot in the 17th annual Appalachian Mountain Photography Contest. It didn't win, I certainly didn't expect it to (certainly not against the other entries in landscape, man there were some really good ones!) but I'm proud it at least made finalist.
