The task
For this task, you are required to take and edit three ICM images.
Using the unique look and feel of ICM photography, you need to make a series of three artworks for a local art gallery. The idea is to sell the photographs as a set.
Use different ICM techniques, e.g. horizontal movement, camera turning, and vertical movement. Your photos should ‘read’ together, so you need to ensure they work together when placed side-by-side.
Do:
Find a subject or scene with enough variation in colour and contrast.
Use a low ISO setting.
Use a small aperture to give you enough time for the camera movement.
Watch your focus, and use manual focus if needed.
Don’t:
Use a tripod.
Move too little or the effect may just look like a mistake.
TIPS
This is the least precise and rule-driven genre of photography, so let loose and have fun!
You need light levels that are low enough to be able to move the camera sufficiently.
This task was a bit challenging since it's still heavy winter right now and there isn't much color and variety to capture outside, so I decided to do the task indoors again. I used different flower arrangements for the theme and captured the different flowers with different ICM effects. For the long plants I used up and down motion, for the tulips a zig-zag motion (which can be seen in the light reflection on the vase), and for the last one (the white flowers) I used side-to-side movement.
