A walk amongst the bluebells

[Ken Rennie]

Springtime brings out the bluebells. Thse are English bluebells and have a glorious scent. Unfortunately Spanish bluebells that are larger and grow faster have escaped from gardens and are starting to cross breed unfortunately they have little or no smell so the joy of the heavy scent is being lost. THis is an ICM Intentional Camera Movement shot with my wife as a model. something odd about using a 36Mp camera and then blurring all of the detail out. C & C welcome Ken

This makes a really nice abstract - nice concept and well executed.

Very nice. I try this all the time & it never looks this good . Can I ask your settings for this? I really like this Ken.

I usually don't comment on abstract but I like this one.

Nikon D810 ISO 64 Tamron 24 -70 lens @ 35mm f11 1/5s. I often place an object in ICM shots. The amount of movement to get a nice looking ICM shot and the amount of movement to nicely blur but leave an object or figure recognisable is usually a lot less. So, for me, it usually means 2 images merged. Hope this helps Ken

This is so cool looking Ken. If only I could IRSLT (Intentionally Remember to Shoot Like That) because these types of shots are so cool, and I want to get some shots like these, but my brain seems to freeze up and I forget.

To add a model into a shot like this really increases the difficulty. It’s one thing to do it with just trees or a landscape, but to include a model and keep them with some detail? That’s great work on your part.
