January 2014's 'Reader Gallery' section of Outdoor photography magazine featured Kevin Marston who specialises in Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) photography where he moves the camera during a long exposure. In the November 2013 edition Lee Frost wrote an article about long exposure pans of seascapes and I actually used one of my own in Assignment 1. I have long known about ICM shots of trees taken by Pete Cairns of Northshots and again have experimented myself. I even discovered that there is an ICM Flickr group. Thinking towards Assignment 2 where I am considering designing a cover for Thomas Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd, I want a landscape but am looking for something out of the ordinary; either a straight shot with a dramatic sky, an ICM shot of an ultra long exposure using a 10 stop ND filter. With this in mind I have experimented with hand held ICM images all with an exposure of about 1 second where I deliberately moved the camera during the exposure.
