ICM Challenge 2

May 7th, 2024
ICM Challenge 2. ICM, or intentional camera movement, is a creative way to take a subject and create an abstract image by moving the camera during exposure. The technique generates movement to an image, or adds an ethereal element to a photo. It can also produce an impressionistic quality to an image. The possibilities are almost endless for a single subject as one moves their camera horizontally, vertically, twirls it around, or zooms in or out during exposure.

Get inspired… move those cameras and make some unique images. You can also use your phone camera to make ICMs.

The second ICM challenge will backdate to May 1 and will continue through May 31. Please add the tag ICM-2 to any photos you enter into the challenge. Enter as many images as you want, but only one can be chosen for voting. Also, though a longer exposure is needed for ICM, this is not a long exposure challenge. Evidence of camera movement must be present.
