"Composition is controlled by arms, legs and knees"! Always a pleasure to watch your videos!
:-) - MIKE
Another great video from Mike Browne, thank for helping me with photography and filmmaking
Thanks Nate - MIKE :-)
Another whopping 5 Star video from Mike Browne. Undoubtably one of, if not the best photographer on UA-cam today. I can still remember watching his first video on Camera Controls which I still use a reference for my photography workshops. Mike's revutionary down to earth easy to understand way of teaching has helped me so much in my journey to becoming not just a better photographer but also a better person. Thank you so much for all your time and effort Mike. Regards,Craig
Wow - thank you kreygscott - MIKE
Always a great moment to look at your videos ! Thanks Mike for such ideas and tricks !
Thanks again Mike for another interesting video. I like the way you paused at the start of the exposure to get a clear view of the scene before panning up. It makes the photo so much more artistic. Often in the magazines when they show this technique, all you see is a streaky blur from top to bottom and it just looks like a mistake - and I often think "Why would I want to do that?" But your result looks much better.
Thanks Wayne - MIKE
Definitely the most important channel I have. Keep producing important teaching videos ! Thank you
Thank you - MIKE :-)
You make photography so easy, interesting and fun.
Thank you Kevin - MIKE
I wish he would come to the US for a workshop I find his ideas very creative and his presentation very polished and professional. Making me think outside the box.
Thanks Brad. maybe some day I will. Keep your eyes on our Facebook page or better still sign up for my newsletter which is where I tell everyone about what's going on. Sign up on the video page of the website at www.photographycourses.biz/videos - MIKE :-)
I have watched a lot of ICM videos mostly showing streaky tree trunks, a waste of time, your video was both instructional and produced pleasing results, you have regenerated my interest in the art of ICM, thank you.
Glad it helped - keep going with it
superb mike, well done Becka! I will be trying this!
No worries Mixie. Please post a couple of shots to our Facebook page - MIKE

So simple yet so effective. Thanks again for sharing.
trepanning. Egyptian head drilling ? lol!! great video mike as always! thank you :)
Ha ha - I wondered if anyone would spot that one Michaela - MIKE :-)
Great video, Mike. I once shot the tree tops with a slow shutter speed while doing a 360 degree spin. Got a bit dizzy, but it was all worth it!
har har, i've fallen over several times twirling away ;O) this was a flowerpot sculpture www.heidiannemorris.com/Galleries/CreativePhotography/Crazyblur/i-m7mNcPD/A
Heidi Anne Morris Great shot!
Ahmed Bebars cheers 🍻 💐 😍
"Composition is by hands and legs and hands and knees. " Love it. I have been putting together a talk about composition for my camera club . I am a HUGE believer in the basic rules of composition to create images pleasing to the human eye., AND BRAIN They have been used in some form by painters for hundreds of years. Thousands of painters and photographers can`t be wrong... Finally came up with a rational explanation about composition by pointing out that to a human, certain sequences of musical notes sound more pleasing to the ear and brain than others. It is the same way with certain sequences of composition; rule of thirds, patterns, broken patterns, leading lines, repetition etc . So it is not so much the rules of composition but the LAW of what our brain likes that is the key to the entire process. Having said all that, I have to say your logical and simple statement about how you control composition is priceless and I shall steal it for my own without shame. Thank you.
Hi Bruce, thank you for the kind words, I think you just hit the spot on briefly explaining how our brain process when it comes to the LAW of what our brain likes, think Mike will be honored for you to use his statement - Melissa pp Mike :)
Another great one from yo Mike I love how you keep things simple
Thanks Andy - MIKE :-)
I regularly follow your channel and im even there on clickasnap . And again you only led me to that site, thankyou so much for all that you teach .
Thank you Philip - MIKE
cool idea will have to try it
Thank you. Love this idea.
Thanks so much for this video Mike!! always a treat watching new videos from you. will definitely try this out. On a side note, I was wondering if you could please do a little review on the all new Kodak camera-tastic smartphone? I'm so excited for it and do not want to buy it without your review. So I'm really hoping you will do one if possible. i'm sure a lot of us photographers are excited for this new smart/dslr cellphone!
Thanks +vikvadle23 I'm sorry to disappoint but it's unlikely I'll do a review of the Kodak phone. I rarely do them because I've never liked gadgets much so not very good at reviews. Also i don't know anyone who has one for me to take a look at... MIKE :-/
Mike Browne Ok no worries Mike! Thanks.
hi Mike, may I ask what camera is your assistant using to film you on? the quality is looking really good these days
It's a Sony PXW X70 joyork - MIKE
Excellent tips! Great enthusiasm too! Cheers 😁
Welcome to the wonderful world of intentional camera movement.
It's called Dragging the Shutter. This is one of my favorite techniques to use. And the technique of Speed Blurring.
Great tips,👍 Thank! Mike.
Nice idea. I'm going to try thistechnique when i shoot aspen in Colorado this year.
Hi, are you looking through your glasses into the viewfinder, or peering over the top of them, how have you got your diopter set?
I have been doing this now for about 18 months. Having literally about 1,000 tree blurs on my hard drive. Everyone is a bit different even if you do ten in a row, each one is slightly different. I want to make one comment ( by the way you tell how control composition ) OK By raising F stop to 22 or more, you are bringing in those tiny dust bunnies hiding on your sensor. Far better to use a low stop number ND filter. I stick a 3ND on my "box basic lens" and go for it. The technique also does wonders for architectural shots off tall buildings.
Good suggestion Bruce - MIKE :-)
Hi Mike, Steve here. Can I pick your brain. I'm currently building my site and adding my images as my portfolio etc. I was going to reduce the images down by 75% and add a watermark to prevent folks grabbing the image and selling it . But would you say it's worth doing?, I wouldn't want the images to look low res due to that, just incase potential clients would be put off by the quality.
Cheers in advance
Steve
hi Steve, that's fine i highly suggest you check the dimension of your site content, so you know the size, the resolution on viewing web is ideally 75px, fact: it doesn't mean that you reduce the resolution it will look blah online, if you have a high resolution image and the size is quite big, this will effect the loading time of your site, which can lead to people leaving your site without exploring it. hope these helps - Melissa pp Mike
Mike Browne
Thanks for that, well the biggest of files are the PNG which can go up to about 34mp
The jpg are around 2mb - 17 mb
Here you can take a look and check, it's partly done so not much on there

I appreciate your help
thanks Mike.. you inspire me sir.
thanks mike great stuff
I agree. Not a detailed pic but great creativity touch. Thanks Mike.
Thanks - MIKE :-)
Love your video
Our camera club is obsessed with "pin sharp" images, which is a good thing - up to a point.
Some of the most dynamic shots I've seen use camera, or zoom, movement & I like mucking about with that...
But I'd be wasting my time entering such a shot in a competition 😕
It's sometimes like that Peter. What one person likes another dislikes. One of my fav pics is by Bella West FBIPP FMPA. It's of a girl in blue dress running in a yellow cornfield, her head's cropped off and it's completely blurred. I very much doubt it would win one at your club either - so you're in Great company - MIKE :-)
Check her out at www.bellawest.co.uk/
Awesome! Keep up the good work.
nice, thanks for your Videos
Great vid. Given me something else to think about.
I've managed to get some great shots by taking random pictures in a small area. My current favorite example is a picture of a dead flower. The flower was crystal clear and the background was perfectly out of focus.
Very good tutorial
Thanks as always Dr Nimish ...🙏😊
when mike share video, click and learn :)
Thanks saleh - MIKE :-)
I love doing this sort of thing. You can get the most interesting effects when you play with light.
Had a pint to many? :D
(Btw. How can you stand that focus beep?)
Ha ha. I love the beep because I know for certain the camera's focused just before I press the shutter - MIKE
that will be my project for this weekend. 🖒
Thanks nice job!!
Thank you too!
Awesome........
Thanks - MIKE
Dianne Ippolito specializes in this type of "blur" photography. Check her out.
Hi Mike, Love your video's , but the first thing I was thinking was "He hasn;t locked his car ! ", I'm from England so I know there's few places it's safe to do that !!
Ha ha Thanks Garry. I didn't show car being locked because it wasn't relevant to the video. Did it where we cut - MIKE
At least they won't steal his Camera and he can take their picture.
Image stabilization just might help with some of the shaky-shaky? Indeed it might... lol.
A good reminder..I keep forgetting to do arty stuff with my camera
(AKA Alan Radley) Mmmmmmm... I'm not sure about this. Yes it's clever, and can create some interesting effects.
I'm just not a big fan of "arty" photography. Saying that, I was experimenting in the garden this week, with taking
pictures of bubbles.
No worries Alan. Everyone has their own preferences.. MIKE :-)
My next challenge will be to try and get some sporting photos. Every Saturday we get a number of young ladies park their cars in our road, and go off in a minivan to play hockey. I'm trying to pluck up the courage to ask where they play, and would they mind me taking some shots.... Watch this space...
Good tips except blowing on the lens to clean it.
Thanks. Why do you think blowing on lens is bad Robin? It's how I've always cleaned mine. Have a look at this video. MIKE :-)

Mike Browne According to Nikon, your mouth contains strong acids that are harmful to the lens coatings.
Robin Horton I didn't know Nikon say that, and if they did I think they're full of crap. If there's acid in our breath that can dissolve rare earth coatings on ground glass, imagine what damage it is doing to our lungs and throats. Personally I think it's an internet rumor which works in favor of the camera industry by making people just nervous enough to keep buying cleaning kits etc - just to be on the safe side. In 30 years of photography neither I, nor any of my colleagues have seen damage to a lens or a difference in image quality because we breathe on our lenses to clean them. And some of my older lenses have been cleaned that way for 10 or more years - MIKE
I haven't been invited into the woods by a man with a beard since I was seven.
Scary business - MIKE
You made one mistake with the lens. I learned not to blow my own breath on the lens to clean the lens. I would rather use a lens cleaner, lens cloth, hand blower and Q-Tip. You can introduce bacteria to your lens and the next thing you know a fungus could develop on your lens and acid from your saliva could eat away the anti-reflective coating on your front element. Cheers, Flood!
Hi evelasq1. I have always had concerns about the acid breath thing so I asked a lung specialist doctor. He told me the only thing that comes out in our breath is water vapor. I think the story about eating away lens coatings is an internet myth. I've been 'Huffing' on lenses to clean them, sometimes several times a day for over 20 years and never had a problem. If there was enough acid in our breath to destroy lens coatings, Imagine what it would do to the soft tissues on our bodies... MIKE
What I really meant to say is that the saliva is not good for the lens itself. I listened to a man name Ken Wheeler who is a photographer with hordes of lenses for many years. He said Huffing onto your lens to clean them is a bad idea. He gives very good advices and I have learned how to inspect used Nikon lenses from him. I also brought a Fujifilm XT-10 camera and a metabones adaptor based on his advice. I am happy to listen to him. I use Zeiss lens cleaner for my lenses. Cheers, Flood!
💃🕺
And there I was thinking you were now doing videos on brain surgery...trepanning indeed!
wheres the frontal labotamy ? soo disappointed lol
?? - MIKE
blowing all the mouth oils to the front lens turned the value of the video upside down...
?? !! - MIKE
I am such a fool! I've been fussing so much with ISO, aperture, etc to get similar results when I could've been just moving my body about. Thank you for this gentle smack to the side of the head.
Ha!! Done lovingly of course....
