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.

I’d call it ICM, as in Impressionist Camera Movement. Perfect, my friend!

Intentional Impressionist Camera Movement doesn’t sound as nice. 😉😁
