Abstract & Creative Landscapes Using Intentional Camera Movement With Abstract & Creative Landscapes Using Intentional Camera Movement with Stephanie Johnson Seeing Things Differently – Beyond Form Abstract photographic images, created through the applied use of ICM, show beauty exists even in the most ordinary of scenes and in different ways than typically expected. When we combine this concept of abstract photography with the idea of ‘seeing things differently’ we begin to appreciate the essence of the things we observe around us, rather than seeing them literally. By seeing the essence of things, we can then embrace an interpretation of the world ‘beyond form and function’ to make more meaningful connections to our surroundings, as well as with the images we create. What is Intentional Camera Movement (ICM)? • At its basic level, ICM is an intentional process using camera movement during the exposure of an image • It uses a slower shutter speed to introduce blur and/or movement into the image • ICM is about pushing the boundaries of what is possible • It’s about creating unique images using a different ‘vision’ process…by ‘seeing’ things differently • Contrary to what some may think, ICM is NOT simply ‘camera shake’ Things to Keep in Mind About ICM • Forget the ‘rules’ and break free of the standard photographic conventions • No tripod necessary (except for with zoom bursts) • Free-style it by handholding the camera • Don’t be a perfectionist…throw caution to the wind • There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ • Have fun experimenting and trying new things • Don’t be afraid to take multiple shots of the same scene More Things to Keep in Mind About ICM • Look for lines, color, shapes, patterns, light, contrasts, etc., in the environment that appeal to your aesthetics and create unique images with movement • Create for yourself and don’t worry what anyone else thinks or whether others will ‘get it’ • Be open to creating images from ordinary or overlooked scenes • ICM can be done at any time of the day, in any kind of weather conditions • ICM is subjective and not everyone will like it. Do it anyway. ~ Before & After Examples ~ ~ Before & After Examples ~ ~ Before & After Examples ~ ~ Before & After Examples ~ ~ Before & After Examples ~ ~ Before & After Examples ~ ~ Before & After Examples ~ ~ Before & After Examples ~ General Approach • One of the most important things you can do with ICM photography is to keep an open mind • Be open to the possibilities…as you’ve seen in the before & after examples, anything from a pile of brush and fallen tree logs to scenic landscape views can be transformed into fresh new creative images • Don’t feel you have to wait for any particular kind of light – the beauty of ICM is that it can be done in almost any lighting conditions • Look for interesting colors, shapes, designs, textures, contrasts, and lines that may catch your eye Composition • Composition in the traditional sense isn’t necessarily as important, however you do still want your images to have the feel of being well composed • Shooting ICM is essentially an intentional random act, so some images may end up tilted, or the dividing line may be higher or lower in the frame than you’d like…some of these things can be fixed in post- processing, but keep shooting until you see you’ve captured the composition you desire • Sometimes the composition you initially imagined may turn into something completely different when you see things happening in the LCD screen upon review Technical Aspects • Shooting in Manual mode affords more freedom to experiment with various settings • If you aren’t comfortable shooting in Manual yet, Shutter Priority is the next best option, because shutter speed is more important than ISO or aperture • Aim for shutter speeds of 1/30” of a second and slower • Shutter speed may vary depending on factors such as available light and speed/amount of movement Technical Aspects • Adjust the Aperture and ISO to achieve the shutter speed you desire • Don’t be afraid to shoot with smaller Apertures or higher ISOs when necessary • Focus, aperture, depth of field, detail, and even grain are less important in ICM photography than in traditional photography • Use a focal length that captures the amount of a particular scene that is pleasing to you…for instance, you may want to zoom in for a tighter shot, or zoom out to include more of the surroundings Technical Aspects • Understand how movement affects the results • Faster movement during the exposure will result in smoother lines and less detail of the subject, while slower movement during exposure will result in more of the subject being recognizable and lines that are more representative of the subject • The key really is to experiment with a variety of different settings and movements • The more you do ICM, the more you will refine your own personal style and learn what works for you Types of Movement • Panning – horizontal movement, either left-to-right or right-to-left • Tilting – vertical movement, either bottom-to-top or top-to-bottom • Circular – rotate the camera about a quarter turn in either direction • Diagonal – move in a diagonal direction, either left or right • Wavy – move the camera in a wavy, or squiggly, line in any direction • Zoom Burst – with a zoom lens, zoom in or out on the subject • Fast or Slow – move the camera faster or slower Types of Movement • Panning – horizontal movement, either left-to-right or right-to-left • Tilting – vertical movement, either bottom-to-top or top-to-bottom • Circular – rotate the camera about a quarter turn in either direction • Diagonal – move in a diagonal direction, either left or right • Wavy – move the camera in a wavy, or squiggly, line in any direction • Zoom Burst – with a zoom lens, zoom in or out on the subject • Fast or Slow – move the camera faster or slower Types of Movement • Big or Small – move the camera with bigger or smaller motions • Push or Pull – push the camera outward or pull inward • Smooth or Jerky – move the camera in smooth or jerky motions • Experiment with your own different movements • Remember – different movements, at different speeds, will create different effects, and no two images will be exactly the same Example of Panning Canon 5D Mark III ISO 100 Focal Length – 100mm Aperture – f/22 Shutter Speed - 1/8” Example of Panning Canon 5D Mark III ISO 100 Focal Length – 105mm Aperture – f/10 Shutter Speed - 1/10” Example of Tilting Canon 7D ISO 100 Focal Length – 100mm Aperture – f/13 Shutter Speed - 1/13” Example of Tilting Canon 5D Mark III ISO 100 Focal Length – 138mm Aperture – f/11 Shutter Speed - 1/13” Example of Circular Canon G7X ISO 400 Focal Length – 20mm Aperture – f/11 Shutter Speed - 1/13” Example of Circular Canon G7X ISO 125 Focal Length – 10mm Aperture – f/11 Shutter Speed - 1” Example of Diagonal Canon G7X Mark II ISO 125 Focal Length – 37mm Aperture – f/5.6 Shutter Speed - 1/13” Example of Diagonal Canon G7X ISO 125 Focal Length – 31mm Aperture – f/4 Shutter Speed - 1/4” Example of Wavy Canon G7X ISO 125 Focal Length – 37mm Aperture – f/11 Shutter Speed - 1/2” Example of Wavy Canon G7X Mark II ISO 200 Focal Length – 37mm Aperture – f10 Shutter Speed - 1/13” Example of Zoom Burst Canon 5D Mark III ISO 100 Focal Length – 24mm Aperture – f/8 Shutter Speed - 10” Example of Zoom Burst Canon 5D Mark III ISO 100 Focal Length – 35mm Aperture – f/4.5 Shutter Speed - 15” Finding What Works • The key is to experiment…the more you do it, the more you will learn what works for you and what doesn’t • Look at the LCD screen after each shot to determine whether or not you either achieved (1) the results you were going for or (2) results that are pleasing to your own personal style…if not, make adjustments to settings, composition, or movement and shoot again, and again, until you get what you want • Different types of movement create different effects, so try different things to learn what works best for you Finding What Works • Different speeds of movement also create different effects • Be prepared to shoot A LOT of images that are unsuccessful, don’t work, or just don’t measure up to your individual aesthetic…it’s a process, and all these images help you refine your personal aesthetic • The look and feel of the images you create will be determined by a combination of factors…direction of movement, speed of movement, smoothness of movement, and settings Experiment with Settings & Movement • Be open to trying different combinations of settings…there is no such thing as a ‘correct’ setting…the best settings are the ones that work for you • Loosen up and try different movements – It may feel awkward at first, but the more you practice, the easier it becomes Tips & Hints • ICM can be accomplished with any kind of camera…you don’t need a DSLR or interchangeable lenses to shoot ICM • Don’t be afraid to shoot LOTS of images each session – hundreds of images are not out of the question for any given outing • Multiple memory cards and batteries are a MUST • Don’t be afraid to shoot multiple frames of the same scene – it may take a dozen or more to get what you’re going for Tips & Hints • Refrain from deleting images in camera, in the field – you need to have a look at all images on the computer in order to learn what works and what doesn’t work for you • It’s sometimes helpful to start your movement before you press the shutter • Continue the movement throughout the exposure to ensure a smooth finish – But also consider experimenting to see what effect stopping or changing movement might achieve Links & Resources It’s always good to study the work of other photographers and artists whose work you admire.

  • Understanding Shutter Speed
    Understanding Shutter Speed This tutorial looks at one of the key elements to taking a good photo: shutter speed. If your camera has mode settings that allow you to operate in manual or partially manual modes, this tutorial aims to help unravel the technical mysteries of working with shutter speed. WHAT IS A SHUTTER? Photography is basically the use of a camera to capture light. To do this successfully, a camera has a number of settings that can be adjusted to correctly expose the scene your eye is seeing and accurately record it. But first, let’s look at the mechanics of a camera. “Shutter” is a term that has its roots back in film cameras where the shutter was basically a “curtain” that opened when the shutter release (the button you press to take a photo) was pressed, allowing the film behind the shutter to be exposed to light (see photo at right). Digital cameras don’t record images on film, but instead use an electronic sensor to process images before recording them on a picture card. But the operation of the shutter remains basically the same (see photo above). The length of time the shutter remains open during an exposure is determined by the shutter speed setting. Depending on your camera, this speed may be set automatically by the camera or manually by the operator. WORKING WITH SHUTTER SPEED When combined with aperture settings, the shutter speed greatly affects your image. While the aperture setting determines how much light is exposed on the sensor, the shutter speed determines how long the shutter remains open to expose the sensor to that light.

  • HOW to LIGHT PAINT USING a SLOW SHUTTER SPEED a Slow Shutter Speed Can Achieve a Lot of Different Types of Fascinating Shots, Like the One Below
    LONG EXPOSURE PHOTOGRAPHY HOW TO LIGHT PAINT USING A SLOW SHUTTER SPEED A slow shutter speed can achieve a lot of different types of fascinating shots, like the one below: This type of shot is very popular and this type of photography is referred to as light painting. This is done by using a slower shutter speed and then using a flashlight to make the desired shape, like I’ve done here with circular movements of the flashlight around the card. Light painting is a lot of fun, but the above shot can be a bit difficult for beginners to execute. So let’s perform an easier light painting shot. We’ll do an exercise to create a heart shape with a flashlight. The shot will look like the one below: Here are the steps involved in taking such a shot: 1. This exercise is best done at night time when switching off the lights will result in complete darkness. But for just about satisfactory results and understanding the concept, you can do it at any time. 2. Use the following settings: 1. F-stop number/Aperture: f22 2. ISO:100 3. Shutter speed: 5 seconds 3. You actually don’t need such a large f-stop number but here we are assuming that you are doing this in a room that is not completely dark. So the high f-stop number will help you cut down light and underexpose the shot which is important since you want the shape made by the light to stand out. If you are doing this in complete darkness, you can use a smaller f-stop number also.

    LONG EXPOSURE PHOTOGRAPHY OVERVIEW Lynn Riding April 2019 Photo: Lynn Riding AGENDA Photo: Lynn Riding What is Long Exposure Photography Why Create Long Exposure Images When to use Long Exposure Techniques Types of Long Exposure Images Technical Stuff WHAT IS LONG EXPOSURE PHOTOGRAPHY ? Using long shutter speeds Capture the fixed elements of an image sharply Intentionally blurring, obscuring or streaking the moving elements. The photographer to conveys the passage of time. WHAT IS CONSIDERED LONG EXPOSURE ? No defined transition point A shutter speed of 1/30 of a second or longer is required to record movement in a scene. LE images vary from seconds, to many minutes, and even hours, depending on the subject and effect you are trying to achieve. WHY CREATE LONG EXPOSURE IMAGES? A creative tool that is used to affect motion and how it’s conveyed in an image. A moving subject when photographed with a fast shutter speed is captured frozen in time The same subject photographed with a slow shutter speed becomes a blur. WHEN TO USE LONG EXPOSURE TECHNIQUES? Low-light situations by default require slow shutter speeds and are easiest to achieve, Can also capture long exposures in bright light by using Neutral Density (ND) Filters. TYPES OF LONG EXPOSURE IMAGES Motion Blur: this can be achieved with any type of motion Water Vehicles Amusement rides Stars Clouds People With motion blur images, the stationary Photo: Lynn Riding elements further emphasize the motion of the subject.

    ICM for Beginners ~ Exercise #3 Exercise and Feedback by Kaisa Sirén If you are new to ICM and wish to start experimenting, this is for you. Carry out this exercise and submit your images for feedback. This will be an ongoing series, and each subsequent quarterly exercise will build upon the previous one. To start experimenting, you need a camera in which you can control the shutter speed, f-stop, and ISO rating...and of course the understanding of their relationship and how they correspond with one another. With the ICM technique, you usually need to use a very low ISO (especially when photographing during daytime/bright sunlight). The shutter speed can be anything from 1/10th of a second to several seconds, and it depends on the amount of light, the effect desired, and length of the objective. In order to use a long exposure, you need to use a small f-stop (big number!) and a small ISO value. If there is so much light that the smallest f-stop and lowest ISO value are not enough to allow the long exposure time, you can use a neutral density filter to cut down the amount of light reaching the sensor. Experiment with various shutter speeds to learn how longer and shorter exposure times will affect the outcome. Depending on your movement, shorter exposures oftentimes will produce less abstract images than longer exposures will. Find the combination of movement and exposure time that works for you to create the effects you are looking for. Exercise 3 ~ Experimenting with Shaking & Zooming This exercise introduces several additional new movements, to build on the horizontal and vertical Thispanning time, movements please experiment of the first with exercise these movements:and second exercises.
