ICM = Intentional Camera Movement

Of course we all get unintentional camera movement and we hate it... :) So the idea of intentionally moving your camera may seem very foreign to many of us.

I am looking to run it on the Weekend of Sept 4th to 5th.

There is no right or wrong way to do an ICM. Usually you will need to use a ND filter as you need to get a long enough shutter speed so that you can move the camera while the camera is taking a photo. Usually 1 sec or more will get you there. So you will want to use your lowest ISO setting, close down on your aperture (f13 to f22), and a shutter speed of 1 second or more.

If you have questions or need help, be sure to ask.

*** Note: I will start a Community Thread in the Contest Section for this Challenge next Weekend. Be sure to look for it and post your photos there, not in here.

Here are some samples:

Typical ICM look with an up/down movement of the camera.

A little different as I moved the camera at an angle instead.
