Very interesting, thanks for this information🙂👍

Thank you Raimo.

It is a lot of fun shooting ICM, you never know how the image is going to turn out.

[@tonyhowellcouk]

Thanks John, I agree. A subscriber said that they do a lot of Unintentional Camera Movement photos!

[@davidbence7229]

Good stuff Tony, very informative thanks

[@tonyhowellcouk]

Thanks Dave; I really appreciate you watching my films!

[@paulferguson1921]

Thanks Tony for another great video. You are very generous in passing on your knowledge to others, much appreciated. I will give ICM a go.

[@tonyhowellcouk]

Thanks Paul, I'm glad you appreciate it. I don't want to hold anything back now I'm getting older!

i love your channel so much thank you

Thank you Ahmed, that's good to know.

[@alansmith-s6b]

Great video again Tony, i often get 1 or 2 of these type of shots unintentionally 🤣🤣

[@tonyhowellcouk]

Ha ha thanks Alan, me too! Wish I'd put that in the video now. Perhaps we could start a new trend; UCM, unintentional camera movement!

If you go back to the 50s and look at the work of Ernst Haas you'll find some of his ICM work, shot on 12ASA Kodachrome some superb shots. What I find funny is people running workshops on it, just go out and play. Don't forget to knock your IBIS off!

[@tonyhowellcouk]

Thanks Iain, I wonder what Haas called it. And I forgot about the IBIS, oops!

@@iaincphotography6051 Thanks Iain, I see, but I understand why that didn't stick because you can obviously get motion blur from moving subjects with a fixed camera.

Nice. Have never tried those technices 👍

[@tonyhowellcouk]

Oh good, have fun Stig!

[@ianecclestone-joyce4126]

Something totally unexpected, loved the shots using the tripod. I discovered zoom blur by accident, which works well with flowers but not tried ICM apart from panning shots for motorsports, so will enjoy trying something different and will definitely be giving this a go.

[@tonyhowellcouk]

Thanks Ian, fun ahead!

[@SloopJohnBee-vq6dw]

I’ve done some ICM before but your video has made me think I should try some more. Maybe on one of those days when you think there’s nothing to shoot. Oh, and panning is not ICM👍📸

[@tonyhowellcouk]

Thank you John.

[@shapesart2701]

I remember when started experimenting with ICM on reversal films and nobody called this ICM 😄

[@tonyhowellcouk]

Yes, I don't know how it was described in my photography magazine, but I'm glad I tried it.

[@marvinspates924]

👍👍👍

[@tonyhowellcouk]

Thank you Marvin.

[@Steve_Xue]

Hi Tony, thank you for teaching Video ! I have a question, when you shoot ICM, does the vibration reduction system on your camera need to be turned off?

[@tonyhowellcouk]

Hi Steve, thank you and yes, please turn that off.

[@Steve_Xue]

👍

[@nightwolf1592]

I’ve just discovered your channel.
Fairly new to photography and I’ve just started practicing ICM.
I love woodland images and church windows using zooming in and out.

[@tonyhowellcouk]

Thanks Nightwolf, much appreciated.

[@hermannmaier]

Thanks. I did some experimentations on ICM myself. Some more suggestions:
Similar to tripod-ICM are long exposures out of a car or train or any other moving platform. Depending on time of day, light and shutter speeds you get some really interesting results.
Try moving the camera to the rhythm of music.
Try combining movement and flash, rear shutter is always nice.
Try combining movement and double exposures, with different blending modes.
Try walking or biking around with ND filter on - remote shutter or interval shutter recommended.
The possibilities are endless and you will be surprised.

[@tonyhowellcouk]

Thank you Hermann, I appreciate your suggestions!

[@jessicastrideart]

That’s interesting, I didn’t even know it was a thing!

[@tonyhowellcouk]

You may even be able to do it with your phone at dusk Jess!

[@kathyhayes4907]

Definitely going to try this. Thank you!

[@tonyhowellcouk]

Thank you Kathy, have fun!
