Intentional camera movement: a low success ratio mode of shooting. But when it works, you have something unique. I was about to run a photo workshop at this location, and scouted it in advance to ensure it hadn't changed since my previous visits, that we'd have access, all those little considerations. Managing a group is all about details. For starters, make sure people are relaxed and comfortable - they will be more receptive.
Anyway, there I was, walking a forest trail, and trying to push my own envelope, too. I have a lot of photos of trees; I lived in coastal British Columbia for nearly 40 years, on the edge of the world's largest temperate rain forest. But there are always new ways of seeing. I didn't take the camera off the tripod. Slow shutter, hold still an instant and then pan.
