The city of Koper, Slovenia taken across the harbor while in Piran, Slovenia. I was out with one lens on an Olympus E-30 and had no desire to walk back to the monastery to get a longer lens. There was no way to capture the lowish-rise skyline of Koper. Decided on ICM. The first shot was taken while standing on a jetty, hand-held, rotating my body from left to right.

The second shot was processed differently in Aperture 3 and then flipped ninety degrees to the right.


p.3 So glad you looked and posted - not only are they (it) a wonderful shot with great hot color, but also a wonderful example. It looks like some of the landscapes I saw on the website of photographer Andrew S Gray.

Mistakes welcome. And that is EXACTLY what one article I read said - we are so used to "edged and crisp" that it's hard to imagine anything soft and "out of focus".


I'll try, Pat

Was a mistake at first, but liked it enough that I couldn't delete.

p.5 I'm glad you didn't delete it. Nice textures and colors. Would make a great background ig you do composites or layers.

I'm laughing out loud, Ched! Hope you meant it for a laugh. The intentional part is "This time I "intend" to move my camera on purpose." Well, if they look like your photos, I'd love to see your unintentional intentional photos

I think I just love playing with light. This is my car's dashboard. Took this on a smartphone with the slowshutter app and then brightened it more in Lightroom

The last week in January ALREADY. Have a great trip, Larry! And thanks to the hosters this past week - RR and Katspangle.

This challenge may be something new for some of you.

Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) is a technique in which the camera is moved as the image is taken: Panning, zooms, rotation of camera, vertical/horizontal movement, belt buckle or hip level, overhead, camera facing down - creativity has no limit. Check out the work of ANDREW GRAY and his YouTube videos - his creations are breath taking. ICM may not be for you but do try it. It’s a fun way to create abstract art with your camera. Many ICM images have an “impressionistic” look.

TIPS
Use a longer shutter speed allowing time to move the camera.
Consider aperture. You will need to use a smaller aperture in daylight (22-32) or an ND filter (which I don’t have) You can also use a “slow shutter” smartphone app, which you’ll see used over the next days.
Look for backgrounds with some color and “light and dark”

So, go ahead - move that camera, rotate it, move it every which way and create something wild and crazy
The last week in January ALREADY. Have a great tri... (show quote)


Pg 1 - Nicely explained, documented and shared, Pat! Thanks for the challenge!

This first set was of our Christmas tree in 2019 with different degrees of "zooming."

The next set I'll try to show other types of Intentional Camera Movements.

Hope you enjoy.

Absolutely - some of u should not try looking up through a viewfinder while rotating a camera! Ha Ha I tried it this afternoon and am still standing. Then flew the flag from high in the tree.


Pg 4 - Oh, I absolutely love this one Pat!!!

PS You shouldn't be spinning around just yet!!!
