Intentional Camera Movement - Painting with Your Camera By Judy Stokes APSNZ
Intentional Camera Movement (affectionately known as ’Blurry Shite’) is for me a way of playing behind the camera – a way to find that joy and sense of wonder we had as kids – a way to explore the unexpected and feel a bit of magic touch our day – simply a way to have FUN!!

So, how do we create these photographic images that look like paintings? For me the recipe for making an ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) image is a little like making a curry or wholesome stew – it definitely is not like making a perfectly baked cake where everything is measured and weighed precisely and steps are carefully followed! I find it’s more of a ’throw in a bit of this and that – and ooooh let’s add some of this today!’ Every time it is a bit different, depending on what ingredients you have in front of you and depending on the mood of the cook!

There are two things that are consistent for me - firstly, it is shutter speed that is the most important variable I play with (I usually go 1/30 sec or slower) and secondly, a tripod is not in sight!
