Through The Woods - Using Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) Within a Composite
Nov 12, 2023 05:50:07 #
Part of my weekend was spent watching a talk on Camversation.com (a great site that puts together some interesting talks and they are very cheap - they're live but you get two weeks to watch a recording if you wish). The talk was the first in four or five on ICM. This one covered woods and trees. Then I rushed off to have a go. Didn't get much worth saving but two or three might appear in composites - which raised another question, how to add a figure to an ICM background? I added a copy under the figure and Motion Blurred it in Ps, then faded the top copy as required. How do you think it worked out? Your critique will be appreciated.

I think it turned out nice. The figure works well witht the background. Is that an AI generated figure? I hope you saved just the background because I think it could stand on its own. Very nice.

Thanks Fstop. I don’t use AI images, only my own. He’s one of the Ragged Victorian group I’ve posted previously - he has starred as a prisoner in a couple. Yes, I tend to keep everything!

An excellent result, Dave! I never gave a thought to how one would approach this, and now you've solved the issue perfectly

Pray tell, what is ICM?
Linda has beaten me to it! Thanks for asking, I got used to the abbreviated term whilst watching the talk.

Can’t understand that Linda, really, never gave it a thought? You mean it wasn’t critical to your enjoyment of life - surely not! On the other hand, can’t say I had either. I quite enjoyed it. It made a change from the usual. The talks include water and architecture sessions, and animals. Nothing about figures though. I posted the image on the Camversation FB page and got a response from the lady that gave the talk but I don’t like her suggestion, too much like UCM! That was also the case with some of her techniques for foliage but they seem popular with others. She’s certainly a well-qualified photographer and some of her ICM work is very eye catching. Her name’s Charlotte Bellamy if you’re interesting in seeing her work.

Dave, I looked at this image with the idea of you should have done this or that. Well damn I can’t find any this or that.😀

I think you have created a charismatic gentleman time traveler, I just can't figure out if he is materializing or dematerializing.
