ICM Challenge 5!

August 5th, 2024
Ok, so new to this winning thing (thanks all!) and no idea how to do this so I hope it all works and makes sense!!

For the next ICM challenge I'd love to see some Zoom Burst images, I've been trying my hand at it, and it's really not as easy I thought it should be - so I'd love to see your images to show me how it's done!

It can be of any subject so have fun and get creative!

New to ICM, here is some info:
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.
