CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY WITH ICM: Tips & Tricks for COMPOSITION, CAMERA SETTINGS, TECHNIQUES, and PO...
#ICM #forestphotography #photoidea
In this video, we'll deliberately move the camera; in other words, we'll experiment with the so-called ICM technique, or "INTENTIONAL CAMERA MOVEMENT."
It's a technique you can use anywhere, but today we're heading to the Koppenberg Forest to put it to the test.
Since you're working with longer shutter speeds, you'll sometimes need to use ND filters to increase your shutter speed. We'll set the ISO as low as possible and close down the aperture as much as possible...and move along.
Some people love it, others hate it. Let me know if you've tried it and if it's your thing.
