In this week’s episode, I take you along while I test out four different ICM or Intentional Camera Movement techniques in an incredible woodland area. I used to think ICM was completely ridiculous, but after spending the morning only using ICM techniques, I've come to appreciate what it can create. And this woodland area is absolutely perfect for this technique as the Spring Greens in this location are better than I expected! ICM certainly takes a bit of practice, but I eventually got the hang of it and share 20 of the images I created in this video. So the next time you're on-location and want to step out of the proverbial box so to speak I hope you'll test out some of the ICM techniques I cover in this video. I hope you enjoy this week's episode and as always thanks so much for watching! - Mark D.

@garybeat6637 2 года назад

Mark, after watching your video on ICMs I left a comment, but I forgot to add that the technique that I have found that works best is to use continuous shooting mode; it eliminates the need to be perfectly timed, and I always get several usable images from each burst.

@paulasimson4939 2 года назад

The left to right swipe effect works really well with ocean waves or at sunrise/sunset over water. Good on you for trying out some new techniques.

@chrispoulsen_ 2 года назад

Right to left also works great.

@ChristianThueringer 2 года назад

great tip, cant wait to try

@TedsFishroom 2 года назад

A method I use for zoom ICM is to use a ND filter to make a long exposure of at least 4 seconds. Start focused on the subject, let the shutter open for half the exposure and then slowly zoom in or out for the remaining exposure. This will help to make the details of the subject more clear. Try it on a distant waterfall starting zoomed in. Or on an interesting building with a colorful garden around it.

@wglassiter2876 2 года назад

Mark, its so good to see you stop being so serious and have some fun experimenting, you were wearing genuine smiles the whole time. I'm a real amateur but I have tried some of the zooming as well as movement. When zooming I liked the results best with a wider lens, it seemed the photos were more explosive. I enjoyed this video, thanks.

@hegespike 2 года назад

Great to see you moving outside your comfort zone, it would probably be the same for me. Part of the attraction of ICM for me is the anticipation of what the end result will be. Oh and those genuine smiles and laughs of yours were absolutely priceless, made my day!

@laurentchauveau2904 2 года назад

I've developped my own technique : very long exposure using a tripod, staying still for the first seconds to fix the scene then zooming and panning (by rotating the tripod vertically aroung 2 of the 3 feets) simultaneously for the remaining time of exposure. It creates nice effects especially on buildings which are seeming to lift off... But quitte tricky to combine smoothly panning & zooming !

@davejsullivan 2 года назад

My Olympus camera excels at this. It's live composite mode allows long exposures without over exposing, plus you can watch it form before your eyes.

@nancyq5821 2 года назад

I did a sunrise challenge (every morning in February). I did some ICM of Lake Michigan and found side to side worked very well for that.

@galensinkey 2 года назад

Really like the on-location trial and error of this.

@DanaPushie 8 месяцев назад

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. While I have yet to try ICM photos I have seen a few that I really like. Thanks for sharing your experience using the technique. I'm more intrigued than ever after watching your video. Must give it a try. Thanks Mark.

@colinbrewer6507 2 года назад

Hi Mark you have me hooked on ICM I have found a beautiful woodland of beech trees WOW what an effect love it Thanks Mark

@timwood6401 Год назад

The flowering shrub? Mountain laurel - Kalmia latifolia. Thanks for the tips. I have found ICM to be especially fun when I real want to do some shooting but the weather is a bit blah. Much like in this video.

@carolinezaramati9193 2 года назад

Thank you Mark for this inspiring video! After I've finished watching it I looked up this topic on the net, and found really beautiful work of landscape photography done with ICM. Although I've tried ICM in the past, I am motivated to give it a second try. A quote I saw in one of the videos on the subject by Edward Weston " Why limit yourself to what your eyes can see when you have such an opportunity to extend your vision".

@brianholland2191 2 года назад

Hi Mark a fun video not sure if you are fully into this type of photography but I find yellow and green compliment this technique also a tip unless you already know is you can turn it up side down thanks for the video mark great fun

@ProfMary 2 года назад

This sure looks like fun, Mark! Thanks for revealing your childlike enthusiasm for ICM. You have inspired me to try more of this.

@ledesclos5321 2 года назад

Your swinging camera ditty is hilarious. Martin Henson does ICM with old film camera. Magical.

@bekahlynn3446 2 года назад

I have put photography on the back burner for so long and have just started getting back into it. Thank you so much for all of your helpful videos. They have given me so much valuable information and inspiration.

@Kayahdog 2 года назад

ICM images are perfect under less than typically ideal photographic conditions. The cloudier day the better and I almost always use at least a 4-stop ND filter. That allows me to slow down my movement with a longer shutter time. By exaggerating the shot panning you can easily crop out unnecessary or undesirable elements in the image. Then when you edit for contrast and color, that’s where the fun begins as your art takes on many new dimensions. I love it and have turned on many of my friends to this technique who also seem to enjoy the freedom it offers.

@LucasPitcher13 Год назад

ICM is cool! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. For rotation ICM, I like to loosen the tripod collar and use that to hold the camera steady whilst rotating the body - even better if you have a tripod or monopod. Have you tried focus shifting? Works a bit like zoom panning, but using the focus ring and gives frankly amazing results with fireworks and other small, bright light sources.

@blivieriphoto 2 года назад

Very cool video. I've played with ICM a lot and found that matching the movement to the subject works best. And if something looks too muddy or mushy, slow the movement of the camera. I used to think it was crazy too until I started really experimenting with movements and speeds. All about having fun!

@blujeans9462 2 года назад

I've seen others do this, but I never think about it. But these look amazing - I hope I'll remember this...someday!! (oh - it looks like your mountain laurel bloom so much sooner than in the northeast - ours usually come out around Father's Day; but it's my favorite bush! If you are ever in a grove full of them, the aroma is heavenly).

@garybeat6637 2 года назад

I have been making ICMs for the past several months; I love it, and find it a little addicting.

@kurtruppel6156 2 года назад

Thanks for putting this video out there Mark. I didn't know I was looking to do something different with my camera until I watched. Enjoy your content - keep up the great work.

@exposureseries3747 2 года назад

You’ve really got my mind going. I will be trying this out myself on a few subjects that I think will create some interesting photos. I really liked the zoom effect and the up down movement. Thanks for showing us the process and the images as you went along. Awesome so interesting!

@MarkDenneyPhoto 2 года назад

Great to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for checking it out.

You made me laugh out loud with that intro!! 😂 I just started playing with ICM, it’s actually pretty fun and addicting. My husband thinks I am crazy! lol

@markgubbins1958 3 месяца назад

Wonderful video !!!! I love ICM photography. When I do it with trees, I like to move slow enough , so the texture in the bark is visible. When I post them on Facebook, there is no in-between. People either like them or dislike them.

@jamesv.wilkerson30 2 года назад

First of all, awesome comedic moments. Now I gotta try this. It looks like fun.

@c.alcazar2584 2 года назад

i like rhe one with the trees, I used tondo that a few years ago on and off is fun to do it you never know what you are going to get, enjoy and stay safe....

@jackielarena-lacayo9884 2 года назад

I enjoy ICM it is my “go to” when I am just not feeling a location or I am having an off day and nothing is working! The side to side works best with scenes that have horizons - great for beaches or seascapes, deserts! Great video Mark!

@MarkDenneyPhoto 2 года назад

Thanks Jackie! Yes - I can't what to try the side to side at the coast!

@teresababer5310 2 года назад

Great video! I’ve recently been playing around with ICM so this video is timely. You are so right, it is addicting and it fails more often than not. Just like IR - you never quite know exactly what you’ll get. I quite like the mystery factor, I think 😊

@maryannmachi5822 2 года назад

So happy you are experimenting with ICM! I do it almost every time I go out shooting. Anything can be the subject. One gal ICM'd her Kleenex box. I experiment with different movement speeds & directions as you are. Sometimes I use a ND filter. You can get really different effects when on a tripod compared to handheld. Little jiggling motions are fun. When you zoom, have cam in manual mode as you can damage the lens if in autofocus (at least on my Sony). Thanks Mark!!!

@antoniodesiderio1984 2 года назад

Hi Mark. today I went to the woods where I go alone to experiment with this technique. what to say? I don't believe my eyes. When you find the right combination of time and movement, the photo acquires a look like oil painting, or watercolor. fantastic!

@nancywebb25 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. I love ICM. I've been doing it about two and a half years. I've gotten lots of great shots. You got several great shots.

@jlid1 2 года назад

Yeah the zooming effect can be fun to do if you are ever at a concert, I've got a cool shot of Joe Bonamassa where I used that technique. Another one I've tried is done on a windy day, where you have your camera on a tripod, pointed at a tree being blown about pretty good, and you use a slow shutter speed. Parts of the tree stay still while other parts are blurred, sometimes it works. Thanks for another thought provoking video!! I always enjoy your work.

@tedsimonett431 2 года назад

yessir! Stepping outside the box is not just fun but also rewarding and an education. If you haven't already done so, have a look at Michael Orton's website....Also now that you've graduated from ICM 101, why not find a good subject, say an individual tree and do a multiple exposure sequence of at least 9 images, moving between each image a yard or so but trying to maintain the same focus point you established on the first of the sequence. Fun and fabulous. Keep experimenting Mark -We'll keep watching!

@michaelhale416 2 года назад

Very interesting. I personally have never tried nay of these, but plan to in the future. I enjoyed your comment about being able to create art no matter the circumstances. Awesome goal. Cheers.

@sallyanderson8540 2 года назад

It’s a fascinating thing to try as you never know what you’re going to get. I find the left to right works best for seascapes and top to bottom for woodland.

@trinasculley4989 2 года назад

Excellent fun. Will definitely try this in the woods around my house. Might try both wide and zoom for swiping. Also, like the challenge of making a beautiful photo in any conditions. Thanks

Hey Mark. The zoom technique is fun at Christmas time at night with Christmas lights.

@MarkDenneyPhoto 2 года назад

Of course! Happy to do it!

@raewebb6365 2 года назад

Mark. I love to do ICM. was in a bluebell field just yesterday doing it. BUT the coolest ICM I have done so far is Blue Hour facing a city skyline & using the zoom. Turned out great !!

@debbiesamsonwhite308 2 года назад

I LOVE ICM! So glad you experimented again AND it looks like you had fun doing it! Side to side works really well at the beach. I do mostly the zoom effect with my 70-200m and the horizontal side to side. I never tried the twist the camera motion but will this weekend! What brand of hiking pants are those? Another fantastic Mark Denney YT video! I always get something out of them!

@MarkDenneyPhoto 2 года назад

Thanks so much Debbie! My pants are made by Fjallraven. Expensive, but the the most durable article of clothing I've ever owned

@larrycitra300 Год назад

I love this ICM photography, do it all the time, the possibilities are limitless and very shot is different (even if you don’t want them to be!) If you have a camera that does “in camera” multiple exposures you can incorporate that into the mix for another and totally different look.

@cody484848 2 года назад

Excellent video Mark! I could be mistaken, but I think this ICM photography genre is becoming very popular and I've seen a number of photographers that strictly harness their style to ICM. I watched a video a couple days ago by Kim Grant, who was interviewing a very successful ICM photographer who has a very unique style and has been very successful with it in her business. Plus, its actually a lot of fun doing something outside of the typical rules of photography. Keep the videos a coming!

@brendab55 2 года назад

Impressionism photography is fascinating and ICM is one of my favorite techniques. Like you said, you can go anywhere and still manage to take a few good photos no matter the conditions. ICM works great wherever you are no matter the subject. Tree scenes don't usually work well with the "side to side swipe" but work well with ocean/water scenes. ICM shots also work well for using as an overlay on an in focus shot of the same subject. Looked like you had a lot of fun trying these out and hope to see more of them in your future videos. 🙂

@MarkDenneyPhoto 2 года назад

Very much enjoyed it!

@timagoston4712 2 года назад

@dianeschuller Год назад

I enjoyed how you were doing something you aren't totally familiar with and being such a sport over it. I've done ICM but it's always a learning experience. I enjoy it. Oh and the zoom is called zoom burst, but it really doesn't matter. Thanks for a fun and frank video.

@lukasbenjamin_ 2 года назад

Icm isn't really my thing, but I have to say, every week I look forward to Wednesday because I know you'll upload a new video.

@johndoherty6448 2 года назад

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm afraid ONLY enthusiasts and above would appreciate the "abstract-ness" of this technique. Definitely for the trained eye, methinks!

@kathysnavely7639 2 года назад

I was just trying it this morning before work,at the blue hour. I just needed a little more time to get a real good one. Ill have to try the turning the camera, that one was pretty neat. Thanks 😊.

@MarkDenneyPhoto 2 года назад

Yeah that was an interesting one!

@davidwilson9821 Год назад

Hi Mark, try blending multi exposures. Say 1 with ICM twist then just 4 straight handheld shots. You get a more defined image of what your subject actually is but with an eerie ethereal blur to it.

@randychristopher1429 2 года назад

I actually tried ICM this morning and over the weekend. I'll just say it was experience I don't think I'll revisit anytime soon.

@robinmartin1395 2 года назад

@chrisbrowne6027 2 года назад

Also try holding the lens and turning the camera. I saw a lot of the zoom ones at Christmas and with one you turned the lens and the other you turned the camera body. It did give you two slightly different affects. Still very cool.

@jarsok245 2 года назад

Super jak zwykle :-)

@williampetersen2899 2 года назад

A fun video Mark! I use ICM when the "normal" landscape shots just aren't happening. My favorite technique is to use at least a one-second shutter speed and then SLOWLY move the camera during the exposure. Up and down movement for more vertical subjects and side-to-side for horizontal subjects. The results remind me somewhat of impressionistic paintings with enough detail to make the subject recognizable.

@bradzaruba9686 2 года назад

ICM is great since you can get plenty of images right near home. I look for anything vertical and enjoy the out of the ordinary look to the photos. You had some great examples.

@rlfisher 2 года назад

You've inspired me to try something new.

@torstenwennberg4845 2 года назад

I can't believe you never tried this before! I love ICM. Just open yourself up to the artsy abstract side of photography. Horizontal is best at the beach and vertical in the forest. If you slow down your vertical pan, you'll get a little more definition in the trees. Also try pointing up at the tree tops and spin yourself in a circle, this makes a really cool circular branch pattern against the sky. I also did the zoom on some trees in the Fall and the mix of colors is amazing! (Even if it's a little like jumping into hyperspace in Star Wars). Thanks for sharing.

@MarkDenneyPhoto 2 года назад

Thanks for checking out the video!

@beolba1 2 года назад

I use the technique on the regular. I have taken some of my favorite photos using it.

@michaelt7320 2 года назад

Thanks, Mark, for demonstrating the different techniques. I've tried ICM only a few times. You can achieve good results with small amounts of movement or even moving the camera for only part of the exposure, depending on the subject and the desired effect. I've got to ask whether there is any difference between the 26MP XT4 and the 102MP GFX 100 for ICM.

@scottmcbride2237 2 года назад

We did this same thing in class in college. We did it like this and you can do it at night but make sure there are different light sources that your shooting at.

@Peter-df1br 2 года назад

For the zoom effect hand holding the camera, try holding the zoom ring and turning/twisting the camera instead. Gives a little more stability.

@catheokuniewicz4953 Год назад

Now I want to go out and swing my camera around! BTW that flower is called Mountain-laurel found up and down the east coast.

@leniehulse1621 2 года назад

I have done the zoom effect but I focus, then don’t zoom until about a split sec so your middle is in focus but the rest is blurred. This worked great with an Xmas tree!

@MarkDenneyPhoto 2 года назад

Ahhh I'll have to try it that way!

@Pj-ey5fl 11 месяцев назад

Try combining movements. When you're moving the camera, horizontally or vertically rotate the camera slightly as you're moving it. Sometimes I also combine soft focus with intentional camera movement

@heathermtaylor7683 2 года назад

Hi Mark, Love your images, they're so abstract and artistic. The first time I tried ICM, I photographed my dog. I loved the result, but without an ND filter she's a little blown out. The forest glade has since been cleared, so I can't redo the shot - the ICM image is still my favourite photo of her. Thanks for sharing.

@MarkDenneyPhoto 2 года назад

Glad to share and thank so much for checking it out Heather!

@brandonmjohnsonphotography 2 года назад

Mark, That is awesome you tried something different. It is also great you have a goal in mind to be able to capture something in any environment. I believe that's a fantastic goal to have. You will excel at it! I am with you I always thought it was silly that photographers would do that. I'm glad you made this video because I may try it out sometime soon. (On a side note, I liked last week's sponsor better. 😂)

@MarkDenneyPhoto 2 года назад

@jerrybobteasdale 2 года назад

Adding a flash to longish exposure with a moving camera or a moving subject can get cool effects.

@btnhstillfire 2 года назад

When I had my Canon last year I had a picture that was 2 photos glitched into 1 image. It was really weird but really cool how it came out. Ive never had it happen besides that 1 time so not exactly sure what happened lol. The pictures were of 1. A concrete slab that descends down into the lake where its next to the lake dam. 2. A shot of underneath a tree branch w vibrant green leaves. It created this mashed together image that was actually very appealing.

@jayholland3147 2 года назад

Never tried this, but I'm going too. Been looking for something to get inspired about and I think this might be it.

@scottplumb227 2 года назад

I was taught by Joe Gaeza and Nick Selway, in a Colorado workshop, to put the shutter on multiple shots, then start at the top and swipe down while holding the shutter button down. Very cool results. This looks fun too! Thanks for showing this!

@levijanssenphotography4751 2 года назад

I love experimenting with ICM. I have created some of my favorite photographs using ICM. Anytime I am at a location and nothing is popping out as interesting I try ICM. I was on a fall photography workshop and I was doing ICM and I got the whole group trying it out.

@MarkDenneyPhoto 2 года назад

Yeah it's a great thing to know when nothing else is working.

@lynnekrueger9056 2 года назад

Love your ultimate goal

@luzr6613 Год назад

I'm sorry... but your ICM rig is amusing me no end. Sure, there's no objective 'right' or 'wrong', but it's such a contrast to what I use - old Kodak CCD sensor Olympus and vintage glass (or any lens that I've got that doesn't meet my sharpness requirements). So, also known as maintaining the relevance of outdated kit. Your point about having a way of creating satisfying images no matter what the situation is spot on - and always carrying a macro lens is Plan C. Lot's of fun and some cool images. Thank you!
