If in doubt, kick it! Haha. This is an interesting project Louise. I would personally treat it like shooting water movement, There is a sweat spot for creating an image with energy, where the subject is still recognisable and there is the ‘right’ amount of movement. I love really long exposures so I would have a go with a ten stop filter and even move the camera closer so that it becomes an unrecognisable wave of colour. The images remind me of long exposures of dancers wearing colourful outfits.

I remember you showing me a shot of dancers once … I think during the flash video and it does remind me of that. Kicking was a disaster! Shall not do it again! 😳

I love the intentional camera movement (which is very good) & the abstracts of the red/orange flowers.

Thank you. I was in need of something to do big time. It was interesting to try. Happy new year to you 👍

Great video Louise. I really enjoyed your take on ICM as IFM. Loved seeing your creative process. Thanks for sharing.

Dana, you are most welcome. Thank you for taking the time to comment 😊

Must be love, he let you interrupt his cricket! Interesting technique. I also appreciate seeing how you edit. I can't say I like the blurrier/sharper best. Very much dependent on the subject to my eyes.

I know! The cricket sacrifice! And I think at that point we were winning. Thanks for your thoughts Brian, it does depend on the size of the flower to me. Larger flowers were able to take more movement … I think!

Editing is on another level Louise, keep going

You are too kind sir. I hope you are well. 😊

I like the "more definitions" for this kind of ICM...personal opinion! And that background give me some ideas for the future. Thanks Louise!

Thanks Walter. I tend to agree and the task was made so much easier with that background. Mine is a vinyl of wood with texture, hence I needed to darken a couple of areas. But upon reflection the lighter patches would have been placed more Carey for better effect. BUT essentially anything dark would have worked. Enjoy playing 😊

Just came across your channel. You have a beautiful garden. I love doing flower photography in my own garden but it is usually so windy that it makes it difficult. You've given me a new way to think about photographing next year. I preferred more definition but both worked really well, just a different feeling.

Hi Susan, thank you. We are a pair of chaotic ‘plonk it there’ gardeners. 🙈 And oh boy has it been windy this year. I was just desperate to get out and do something… anything! Good luck… btw, kicking it doesn’t work! 😂

Fabulous Louise! and boy do I admire your knowledge of PS too!

Thanks Ali … but I am stumped as to how to process the Milky Way one I captured with you. I look at yours and Lee’s and think, oh I’ll do it later as I’m not going to do half as good a job. 😂

Cool. Have fun with it. I confess to a neighbour asking me what the heck I was doing part way through. Felt a bit of an idiot trying to explain 😂

The times you need an assistant 😂 Interesting images

Louise Are you sure these pictures worn't taken by the James Web Space Telescope? Looks like some of those galaxy space pictures NASA keeps publishing. No matter great pictures Louise no matter where you took them
