The last week in January ALREADY. Have a great trip, Larry! And thanks to the hosters this past week - RR and Katspangle.

This challenge may be something new for some of you.

Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) is a technique in which the camera is moved as the image is taken: Panning, zooms, rotation of camera, vertical/horizontal movement, belt buckle or hip level, overhead, camera facing down - creativity has no limit. Check out the work of ANDREW GRAY and his YouTube videos - his creations are breath taking. ICM may not be for you but do try it. It’s a fun way to create abstract art with your camera. Many ICM images have an “impressionistic” look.

TIPS
Use a longer shutter speed allowing time to move the camera.
Consider aperture. You will need to use a smaller aperture in daylight (22-32) or an ND filter (which I don’t have) You can also use a “slow shutter” smartphone app, which you’ll see used over the next days.
Look for backgrounds with some color and “light and dark”

So, go ahead - move that camera, rotate it, move it every which way and create something wild and crazy
