If You Go Into The Woods .................

.......................today, youll be sure of a big surprise! Didn't find any teddy bears havng a picnic though!!

Wendy challenged me to do a controlled, painterly effect, ICM, with subject matter to still be clearly recognisable. I reserached this on line (I'd be lost if I didn't have DPS as my go to for how to tips) and took my camera for a walk in some woods.
@farmreporter This wasn't as easy as led to believe by website- but it was fun playing and failing! I'll have another go later in week, weather and work permitting

What fun! I do like ICM results like this.

Haven’t tried ICM (however loads of Unintentional camera movement)...not always a fan of images I’ve seen but I like this.

This is really good! You can tell that there are trees here and a path.
It's a FAV!

@farmreporter Wendy, it's the ONLY one that worked!! My beautiful lakes and purple foxgloves were all PANTS!!! So disappointing!!

@amyk thank you so much, that' kind of you
@taffy but they're not easy are they?

rather delightful - the subject is still discernible and yet given new life and meaning

FAV You nailed it Girl!!

Jackie - I noticed that your shutter speed is fairly long - a full second. You should try shortening it down somewhat to 40 or 60 if you do go try this again. You will still see movement and you may find that it is easier to do.

@farmreporter I tried all shutter speeds, had ND filter on so could extend ,/ slow speed

Oh - then it was quite a challenge then!! So sorry!
I did this challenge in the evening when there was not a lot of light so I guess that was the difference.

Well done ICM. That song was one of my dad's favorites.

@randystreat hope happy memories were recalled Kathy that made you smile
@shutterbug49 thank you
@farmreporter don't apologise, I thought be a good way to learn to use those filters at same time nothing like doubling a challenge set eh? ?!!
