By slightly moving your camera up and down during exposure, you just may end of with a work of art that resembles a painting instead of a photograph. It’s best to use a tripod to reduce side to side movement of your camera.
A slow shutter speed(1 or 2 seconds), low iso (100) and F-stop (14 to 22) should get the job done. You may need a filter to darken the subject allowing for a slower shutter speed. Trial and error and checking your LCD helps you dial in the best image and correct exposure.
Wonderful!
Thanks for this tip and these examples. I’m going to give it a try!
Go for it!
Beautiful ICM images!
Thanks Amy!
Ohh this is super cool and I might just try it.
Thank you for visiting and following my blog.
Thank you and you’re welcome
Cool! Reminds me a bit of Monet’s works.
Impressionistic!
I’d call it ICM, as in Impressionist Camera Movement. Perfect, my friend!
Thanks Marina and for translating the ICM moniker
Intentional Impressionist Camera Movement doesn’t sound as nice. 😉😁
Looks like a watercolor. 🙂
Well done! ICM doesn’t always work out for me! Lots of failures…
As a painter, I really appreciate this effect you have achieved!!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. Painting will be my next adventure….
