Erm... doesn't off topic in a pointless thread mean it has a photographic point? promise from now on to stick strictly off topic

To be honest, ICM doesn't do much for me most of the time. I can't help feeling that blur and splodge is better done with a paintbrush and canvas so you can control what it looks like. This was a wild experiment to see what would happen and definitely outside my photographic comfort zone!The other's don't really do much for me

You may well be right. I've seen things like that in hotel rooms. number 2 might make a good abstract print to put up against a suitable flat coloured wall.

All single exposures. The background/foreground effect is an accident - instinctively hesitating when pressing the shutter button. I don't think I could do it deliberately!Are they all single exposures (wondering how you managed the difference in background/foreground perception)?

The K20D will survive anything - even autumn Hope the camera survived the fall.

Seems like this is in grave danger of becoming an unpointless thread.
I've just seen a couple of reindeer (real, not inflatable or flashing). No man in red coat and white beard, though. Is that pointless?

PS: MS support site says that the message is to do with SMB 2, so I was looking in the right sort of area.

Hardly any fungi in the wood so decided to try ICM on leaves, trees and anything else that looked like autumn. Trying to get an autumnal feel. What do you think?
DA16-85mm + K20D (had the urge to give it an outing, I think it enjoyed it)

Don't tell my wife that things can be fixed so quickly. It must be at least 5 years since a plumbing-related hole appeared in a ceiling and it's still there... We finally got the room re-plastered after a screw related water problem 2 or 3 years back.
If you want a really wild idea for touring on a bike, how about fitting a Ricoh Theta to the top of your helmet...

On the other hand, why should there always be a point of focus? You could get rid of the lavender altogether and just have a totally impressionistic, out of focus abstract that just hints at a reality which can't quite be grasped. I think it would work for me.
Of the other two, no. 3 is quite stunning. Can't get excited about no. 2 though, the colours are gorgeous but the foreground OOF leaves are too distracting.

Very, very impressive. Almost oozing with formic acid and histamines! I'm in awe both of your technique and the common stinging nettle.
Your picture is much better than the one used to illustrate 'Why do nettles sting' in an on-line teaching resource 'Science and Plants for Schools' (www.saps.org.uk). Have you ever thought about making some of your pictures avaiable for educational purposes? They certainly have the 'Wow!' factor that can make science interesting for children.
