ICM Intentional Camera Movement – February Virtual Phot Meet Up Project

Hello Fellow Shutterbugs,

Our February Virtual Photo Meet Up Project is ICM

Intentional Camera Movement –

What is it?

ICM is both a technique and an artistic way of expression.

Used by photographers to capture a form of abstract art known as impressionism

Instead of using a tripod to keep the camera still, the photographer moves the camera in a panning motion to create motion blur while the camera’s shutter is open.

Using a slower shutter speed combined with a moderate panning motion provides best results

Selecting the lowest ISO on the camera is recommended.

There are no hard and fast rules. It is all about experimentation. Its not a “One Shot Deal”.
