Debbie’s Trying Something New – ICM
I went to my archives for this photo challenge and found some interesting shots and some that are, well, best described as what were you thinking!
Of course the folder is called Arty Ones.
This was a lot of fun that I started doing a while ago and I keep doing ICM. I find the night time shots can be interesting as there isn’t any references to say this is a shot of….. I have told of the subject on each image for those who need details.
Here is a selection of my Intentional Camera Movement images.
A tree with diagonal movement. This one is from 2015
Horizontal movement – you may recognise my besties old bird bath. Taken in 2016
Taken from a high rise in Sydney in 2010. Cars on a freeway from memory
another from a Sydney high rise of neon lights in 2018
A moving view of Cockle Bay again from a Sydney high rise in 2010 The lights look like birds
I did a series of a Magpie Lark or commonly called a Pee Wee on the lawn in 2012
OMG, I usually delete anything that looks like this. Though to be fair your’s do look arty whereas mine just look blurred.

There is a bit of difference with blurred. I went through that folder and yes a few blurs are in there. They can be used for backgrounds but I don’t save them all. Have a go at moving the camera, it’s fun Sheree 🙂

Well, I’ll have plenty of time to experiment in the coming weeks (and months).

I rather like Cockle Bay 🙂 🙂 I only have one such shot, which I took accidentally, and it was so novel I kept it, but you know I’m not one to show and tell.

I like the Cockle Bay night shot, Brian. And I’m pleased to see that you and the bird bath are influenced by Monet.

That can be true Amanda but these are intentional to see what I could produce. The flops were deleted at the time

I would like also to perfect this technique. It is harder with a mobile camera that has stabilization.

Woks better with cameras for sure. I haven’t tried it with my mobile phone

I just downloaded a “slow shooter/long exposure app. It isn’t great but I tried it on a running water tap – interesting effects. Maybe a future challenge for Friendly Friday?

You are the artsy one, Brian. My folder is called Blur and photos like this get tossed into it. But I like them! There is a certain ‘freeness’ to them.
