[Leica] ICM

During the current lockdown from March, our second, I was bereft of ideas
as far as photography was concerned, chained as I was to the house, so, as
a diversion, and an attempt to get my photographic juices flowing again,  I
started experimenting with ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) abstracts
during my daily walks. 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:

Comments and criticism, as ever, welcome.
