June 19, 2020 — Point Reyes National Seashore, California
. . .Had Turner been on the beach at Point Reyes with a camera. Which, of course, he wasn’t.
This is an experiment in ICM — Intentional Camera Motion. As one might expect, the subject was moving as well, as waves are wont to do.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. But I don’t know if he was ever really content.

We will never know. I am guessing though that when he was painting he would!

See this from Mr. Turner. I was speaking with an art historian who spent her whole life studying Turner and his life and she said watching that movie is like standing right next to the actual man.

The photograph definitely has a painterly quality. Not till I read your text did I know what that effect was due to. Do you recall the specifics of how you moved the camera?

Thank you very much. In this particular case I didn’t consciously move it as much as I made no attempt to hold it still. It was a 1.6 second exposure. I let the waves do the work.

Thank you. Amazing what one can pick up on a gray, undramatic day if one puts one’s mind to it.

I read that you were not intentionally moving but it seems so well controlled. Very painterly and a very appealing sense of motion without the sometimes dizzying effect.

The hints of green and the soft spray that flips up to the upper right both keep me happy. From high-contrast and tightly focused (the wave closeup) to soft and smudgy, I like the variety.

Thank you very much. The end of a long day of experimenting with slow shutter speeds on approaching surf.
