Hi, Andrew. This is an educational video for me. When I received reasonably good news from the doctor, I started working on it. Just put flowers and other things in the house indoors. And I think if you are good at this you will get very beautiful abstract images. But I still have to practice a lot to get those beautiful images. Who knows, in the future, when I've mastered it a bit better, I'll show you some of my work. Thank you, friend, and see you next video. Antoine.
Indoor plants are great for ICM. Antoine. If you want abstract, get an LED light on one, get close and follow a leaf. The kind of things that work well are long and thin like grasses or broad and defined. Small leaf plants tend to be too detailed and create mush, BUT, maybe with very small movements, they could work. I have never had much success with small leaves. Hope you're very much on the mend. Take care, my friend. Andy
This may be true of YOUR macro lens, but it is certainly not true of all macro lenses. You could point out that if you use a Medium Format camera, you can probably stop down further too. My macro lenses won't go beyond F22. Furthermore, macro lenses are not cheap things and will cost a whole lot more than a set of ND filters.
not what I expected, as someone into Large Format photography, I thought you were meaning swing and tilt for selective focus!! camera movements of a view camera, NOT intentional motion blur, which is how you should have titled it, to make it clear; with the current title, it's just clickbait.
Thank you for taking the time to comment. Intentional camera movement (icm) is a very well-known and commonly used phrase and a popular artistic form of photography - there are publications dedicated to ICM as an example. I reject the accusation that this is click bait because of your misunderstanding of the term. That's hardly reasonable or fair.
To clarify: "Tilt-shift" encompasses two different types of movements: rotation of the lens plane relative to the image plane, called tilt, and movement of the lens parallel to the image plane, called shift. In intentional camera movement (ICM), a camera is moved during the exposure for a creative or artistic effect. This causes the image points to move across the recording medium, producing varied effects such as streaking, textures, and layers in the resulting image. I hope this clarifies your misunderstanding @andyvan5692, we all make mistakes, and the video is absolutely correctly titled and not clickbait, to title it "Intentional Motion Blur" (IMB?) would have been completely inaccurate as this is not the correct term for the subject discussed. Do you upload your images from your large format camera? I would love to see some, I have always loved the larger formats.
@@AndyBanner sorry, but "camera movement", if not clarified Means deliberate swing/tilt for creative BOKEH (not blur), blur is defined, at least commonly, as an unfocussed image due to movement of the camera while shooting, aka an unsteady hand, weak tripod setup, etc. the whole shot is out of focus, in camera movement, a specific section OR the whole shot is made to be tack sharp with Intentional movements of lens/view camera standards to achieve this, as for eg, the perspective is from looking up, or side on to a subject, causing distortion if NO movements are used.
@andyvan5692 I invite you to type "intentional camera movement" into Google and then come back here to argue that you're right. Of course, I expect you will as nobody likes to be proven wrong, but at some point, you need to accept that 1) The thumbnail bears no relationship to bokeh, tilt or shift. 2) The title and thumbnail clearly list ICM (with Intentional Camera Movement being prominent in the title and 3) you misunderstood this but have convinced yourself that I am the one in the wrong and you want to press that home at whatever cost. That's your prerogative. I am sorry that my video wasted your time and that you felt it necessary to waste even more time arguing a point that only shows you as being wrong.
With respect, andyvan5692, ICM is a well-established term for the abstract photography art that Andrew and many others produce. This video was certainly not clickbait and I hope you are willing to look a bit deeper into our ICM world-it’s a fascinating and fulfilling specialty!
Looks like you are not trying to teach anything in photography but you are just doing your cardio. Next time please do it without camera and microphone and have fun. It will definitely be better for your heart and mind. You could have explained the photography tricks in 45 seconds where as UA-cam 14 minutes.

My top tip for ICM is to use a macro lens, as it can be stopped down to f32 or f45 and therefore allows a slower shutter speed
This may be true of YOUR macro lens, but it is certainly not true of all macro lenses. You could point out that if you use a Medium Format camera, you can probably stop down further too. My macro lenses won't go beyond F22. Furthermore, macro lenses are not cheap things and will cost a whole lot more than a set of ND filters.
Nice video, Andy. I really like the shot at 9:00. Thanks for sharing and be well~
Thanks. Yes, there's something about that shot that works, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Take Care.
Thank you Andrew !
Interesting location for ICM Andy never thought of a church
Lots of potential in churches. Also icm of churches, particularly more isolated ones where their structure is dominant in a landscape
Hi Andrew, just getting into ICM and your vids have helped me a lot, also i love your vlogs keep up the great work.
Thanks, Tony. Do be sure to send me some of your ICM works.
We dont have these majestic churches across the pond. Our churches look more like monstrosity office buildings lol
That's because you were invaded many centuries after we were!

Have you ever heard the phrase, if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing? Well, you have now. It's good advice.
Next time, take your own advice and breathe for 14 seconds before deciding to show the world what an unpleasant person you are.
