Since many of us are still limited to where we can go, this week’s photography challenge topic is the ICM (intentional camera movement)!
This is a fun exercise you can try inside your home or out in your yard (if you are lucky enough to have one). If you live in an apartment in the city, you may want to try capturing the night city lights with ICM instead.
You’ll want to use a relatively slow shutter speed – something slower than around 1/15th of a sec. Then you will want to physically move the camera in the direction you want as soon as you hit the shutter button.
You may want to follow the direction of the lines in your compostition or go against them – the creative decision is yours!
You can even make the exposures so long that we have to guess what photograph is actually of (you can probably tell what mine are, though!).
I look forward to seeing your shots.
Check out some of the articles below that give you tips on this week’s challenge.
Tips for photographing the ICM
Simply upload your shot into the comment field (look for the little camera icon in the Disqus comments section) and they’ll get embedded for us all to see. Or, if you’d prefer, upload them to your favorite photo-sharing site and leave the link to them. Show me your best images in this week’s challenge.
Share in the dPS Facebook Group
You can also share your images in the dPS Facebook group as the challenge is posted there each week as well.
If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites – tag them as #DPSICM to help others find them. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.
