WIKI: “In intentional camera movement (ICM), a camera is moved during the exposure for a creative or artistic effect.” Intentional Camera Movement reveals a normally unseen world of light, forms and colour and unlimited creative possibilities. This technique has encouraged me to create absorbing, moody images capturing the fleeting image of water and light in motion. The basic execution of ICM is to use a slow shutter speed to introduce blur into the image. You intentionally move the camera during the exposure so that the scene is rendered as a varying degree of blur. The degree of blur is influenced by the shutter speed and the amount of camera movement - laterally, vertically or randomly as I often do - this method can produce some wonderful (though unrepeatable!) images. Like all techniques, practice, combined with experimentation, leads to more predictable results and more control can be achieved over the final image.
