ICM [INTENTIONAL CAMERA MOVEMENT]


SILENT RIVER [ICM]
On a still and cloudless morning at Penryn Quay earlier this week, I thought conditions suited another crack at ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) photography. It's been a while since I tried the technique after being inspired by the work of Andrew S. Gray Photography last year.
This was shot before sunrise while the sky was full of dawn colour.
I wanted to constrain my movements to a vertical motion - so I kept the camera on the tripod with a slackened camera mount attachment. Upon pressing the shutter, I paused for a moment to record some detail of the boats, trees and sheds - then rotated the camera up & down to soften the image.
I know this technique isn't everyone's cup of tea! I have a straight shot of this composition to follow later.
