My First ICM - No need to comment

I gave a presentation on motion at our local camera club. No presentation on motion would be complete without an example of ICM (intentional camera movement).
I have never been a fan of ICM so consequently I did not have an example to show. Hence, my first (and probably last - LOL!) ICM.

I'm not usually a fan of ICM like this, but you've made it work. B&W and the gradient of dark to light seems like the right idea!

You have created an interesting effect here Wendy, like the b & w

[JackieR]

I like it too!!!

[Granagringa]

I like the b&w and the horizontal movement instead of the verical, which I see more of. Also, that the original shapes are so within the movement. Well done, again!!!

Thank you, ladies! It never ceases to amaze me when I slap in a shot that I do not like and think is garbage and then others like it, LOL!
I guess beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder!

[Saskia Holditch]

I like it!

[Delwyn Forsythe]

I'm with you about this. Probably because when I try it, it looks like I couldn't hold the camera still. Still, great photo.

I had never heard of ICM, so once again I have learned something on 365. Thank you so much. By the way, I do like this in B&W.

@farmreporter I think you are a "victim" of what I've heard is called "unconscious competence"....your eye has just gotten that good....!

[Wendy]

@granagringa Oh, thank you! Your compliments are so endearing! I can always depend on you to give me that boost of renewal!
