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.

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.

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 !

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!!

You might find interesting results by applying ICM technique while the camera is on the tripod, loosen the ball head slightly and sweep the camera horizontally or vertically. The other method would secure the camera to a "lazy susan" type platform. Just a thought.

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.

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!

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. 🙂
