I arrived at the beach a little later than anticipated so things were a bit darker than expected. Add to that the effect of ICM and what you see is what we got - sort of. Those with good memories (counts me out) will recognise the lovely Becky from previous posts. She's enjoying a late evening paddle. The next ICM talk I shall watch is 'Water' and I'm hoping sea will be included, which might help a bit, can't guarantee it though. I have seen another tutor's sea efforts that were quite encouraging but just as hit and miss as the 'Trees' episode. Your critique will be appreciated if you feel inclined.

It is interesting how the blur changes with the subject. For trees, I think a vertical movement is most appropriate. For the beach I'm always thinking horizontally. You used horizontal blur for this image and it works really well. I like that you are figuring out ways to make use of ICM for backgrounds in your composites. That is a different approach than using ICM to create abstract stand alone images.

The lady giving the talks (that I messaged you about separately) doesn’t seem to like the idea of using them for composites, she’s an ‘everything must be done in camera’ person, which is fair enough, I just think one should be a bit more tolerant of others preferences. Glad you enjoyed it Erich. I’m watching her next talk in an hour or so, it’s Architecture. May not be so interesting for me.
