Intentional Camera Motion (ICM) does exactly what the name suggests.
Instead of holding the camera steady to have a sharp image, the camera is deliberately moved during the exposure to distort the image.
This is different to panning the camera to follow a moving object as for ICM the object is usually stationary and so moving the camera creates a blurring or streaking effect depending on the motion and the object.
In this case the object was a stormy sea. The camera was panned during a 1/25 second exposure to give the effect of streaking horizontal lines.
This image was then processed in lightroom to level the horizon, brighten it slightly and then apply a blue/purple duotone.
The outcome is an abstract image that I am planning on printing as a panoramic canvas for display in my bathroom.
A little part of the web for me to talk about Photography, what I'm up to, share experiments, recent shots, hints and tips. To share my (limited) experience with others and to gain further skills myself.
