A second image from the series of nighttime Intentional Camera Movement shots taken of fun fair and promenade festoon lights in Torquay, Devon. In general, I'm not usually convinced by ICM as a technique as many of the shots I see taken using it are neither effective nor original - and it's often hard to tell whether the photographer knew what they were doing or not. However I quite liked the results of this particular little exercise, so here's another one.

HAPPY SLIDERS SUNDAY!
I have not SLUD for quite a while. It's nice to be back.
These "flames" are sort of the opposite of shadows. The are the images made when winter afternoon sunlight filters into my garden apartment:
The light is first filtered through bare winter limbs of a of a garden bush. It comes in through a floor-level frosted window, and then through the metal ranks of an old-fashioned floor-standing hot water radiator.
I did a lot of sliding of various kinds so that you can see what I saw. I really like the result, I hope that you do too,

HAPPY SLIDERS SUNDAY !!
Here is the shadow of a forked tree limb. It has been turned into the shadow of a dancer by by the steps on which the shadow fell.
The other shadow, on the right, is that of the tree trunk. The steps have turned it into a geometric abstract.
Post-processing to the max:
Strategic cropping to best present the dancer, and extra contrast to augment image drama. Also, extra sharpening. This gives the image some strong textural elements. These provide a counterpoint to the relative uniformity of the shadows.
FYI - The stairs were created by the village street and pedestrian walkways department. They are constructes from a series of preserved wood boxes, filled with a mixture of dirt and coarse gravel. They drain well and are never icy in winter. Clever, I think.,

An askew view of a shed wall. It had been painted various colors over the years--most recently what could be called "drably drab." Mother Time now lets us look at at the paint history.

Homage to Haywards III (SimpleActionForMovie)PSXresz
'Simple Action For Movie' is a Composite Filter treatment comprising a number of separate filter effects - from the program 'Compositor', which i fear no longer exists.

Christo's Running Fence
Mixed Media
Madeline Nieto Hope
On exhibit Marin County Civic Center, March 2018 ...
Christo's Running Fence: 18 feet (5.5 meters) high, 24.5 miles (39.4 kilometers) long, extending east-west near Freeway 101, north of San Francisco, on the private properties of 59 ranchers, following the rolling hills and dropping down to the Pacific Ocean at Bodega Bay. The Running Fence was completed on September 10, 1976.
The art project consisted of 42 months of collaborative efforts, the ranchers’ participation, 18 public hearings, three sessions at the Superior Courts of California, the drafting of a 450-page Environmental Impact Report and the temporary use of the hills, the sky and the ocean.
All expenses for the temporary work of art were paid by Christo and Jeanne-Claude through the sale of studies, preparatory drawings and collages, scale models and original lithographs. The artists do not accept sponsorship of any kind.
Running Fence was made of 2,152,780 square feet (200,000 square meters) of heavy woven white nylon fabric, hung from a steel cable strung between 2,050 steel poles (each 21 feet/6.4 meters long, 3.5 inch/8.9 cm in diameter) embedded 3 feet (91 centimeters) into the ground, using no concrete and braced laterally with guy wires (90 miles/145 kilometers of steel cable) and 14,000 earth anchors. The top and bottom edges of the 2,050 fabric panels were secured to the upper and lower cables by 350,000 hooks.
All parts of Running Fence’s structure were designed for complete removal and no visible evidence of Running Fence remains on the hills of Sonoma and Marin Counties.
As it had been agreed with the ranchers and with county, state and federal agencies, the removal of Running Fence started 14 days after its completion and all materials were given to the ranchers.
Running Fence crossed 14 roads and the town of Valley Ford, leaving passage for cars, cattle and wildlife. It was designed to be viewed by following 40 miles (64 kilometers) of public roads, in Sonoma and Marin Counties.
