ICM involves deliberately moving, zooming or going in and out of focus during exposure, to get abstract images. Imagine the sensor to be the canvas, the subjects to be the brushes and the light to be the paints, and you get the idea. You need long exposures, so ND filters would be needed during the day. I overcame this by mainly photographing at dusk. I have only processed and cropped a few, and my initial set is here: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/lockdown/ICM/ Please see Large (or as large as you can, some are small jpgs!) Comments and criticism, as ever, welcome.
