ABSTRACT/ ICM- “existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence”. I may not have adhered to the literal translation, and perhaps I should have called this section “Abstract …..and things a wee bit different” ! I’ve experimented with icm and have surprised myself at how much I enjoy the abstract pastel colours and textures - I find the seat spot to be around 0.5 to 1 second exposure.
