shutter 1/6 aperture f22 iso 200 focal L 82mm
Steve had suggested I try moving the camera slightly on slow shutter speeds and experiment with different shutter speeds so this is what I was attempting with these shots.
They do look more dreamy to me. Again I went out in the garden experimenting with a Canon Eos 5D camera, with 24-105mm Lens, hand held on a windy day, so there was some movement in the branches/plants but I also moved the camera more as I took the shots. I started to focus using a centre focussing meter then as I release the shutter I moved the camera up or down at varying degrees until I discovered that moving the camera to the right or left just a little way on release of the shutter proved better results. I also used a slower shutter than the last time I tried this exercise, and I think the results are better. In the above image I like the cut off line with the blue and white sky running diagonally.

This one lacks lustre but it is all blurred, by moving the camera slightly to the right as I released the shutter.
The above looks more painting like I think: a ghost sweeping through the conifers. I had moved the camera left and right as I released the shutter.
He had also suggested I take one clear shot and one blur one... The second image below is where I tried moving the camera up and down:

On viewing, I decided I preferred the effects of moving the camera sideways.
I like the first one is it captured unusual way that make`s it very interesting.
