To avoid confusion with some group invitations, all of my images are created from blank. Any image from a photo is clearly marked as such.
I took a rather boring and cluttered image in a forest near my hometown Patras, Greece.
Maybe it wouldn’t be so boring though if there was anything to show the scale of these enormous trees but it’s pretty hard to get away from cluttered in the dense forest there.
So I decided to mimic the effect of in-camera panning by using the motion blur filter in photoshop to blur the image in the same direction as the strong lines of the trees.
To add a little something extra I tried to reveal a part of the original image without the blur.
The results of a walk around an abandoned water tank in the desert documenting the graffiti that weathering turned to art, maybe.

Trying out a little bit of creativity where one finds a unique perspective on a common scene. In this image, the introduction of intentional camera movement (ICM) of panning down while the shutter is open allows you to "see" a traditional scene in a different way.
