ICM Intentional Camera MOVEMENT Photography

[@davebenson1504]

That evergreen in aspens really works for me... and I love good ICM images... the yellows look great as a background

[@wojtekgrabowski1]

In my opinion first icm and last photo on 30mm are the best...it was pleasure to watch. Woodland vlogs are always very moody and challenging

[@19Photographer76]

Montana has had 2 Grizzly to man attacks already this year, one was a hunter. The ICM images came out great and the processing was just enough!

[@mauriziomigliozzi]

The first ICM picture is simply fantastic. I should try it

[@jimbembinster]

Very nicely done Adam. Once again you captured some beautiful photos. The best thing about this video is no Gavin.

[@DavidSenteno]

Jim Bembinster 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@thomasphillips5850]

Hi Adam, good video I have been thinking about ICM for a while even being multiple exposures that's cool too. The last exposure was spot on. Thanks again.

[@photobizmethod]

I just found your video... we have a small patch of Aspens in our local mountains. Thanks for the inspiration to get up there again :-)

[@ColoBeauPhotog]

Great work sir. Being fall in Colorado now, perfectly timed video. Now time to get out and shoot.

[@waterman308]

That ICM was terrific. Brilliant way to adapt to the circumstances. Gotta try that now..

[@AlKulla]

That last image is beautiful. Mother nature at her best!

[@josephstanski5180]

Really very, very good UG. Nicely done.

[@ralfkrahe2493]

You have inspired me to give ICM a shot! Beautiful pics, including the 2 non-ICM.

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

That first ICM image was awesome. Worked perfectly.

[@hamsterneckliving]

Ps. And that last shot with the path is beautiful.

[@aussiephotographer]

Thank you Adam. Always great.

[@jaywilliamsphoto]

That first ICM shot is very nice. Also, the music choice in this video is quite well suited.

[@ifindmetal]

Definitely agree every time i feel like I'm in a rut I do experimenting with techniques gets me over it every time

[@janshanhun7871]

Glad you didn't encounter a bear. So lucky in NZ we don't have to worry about such things as wild animals! Enjoyed video.

[@rgarlinyc]

Ha! Great idea, I shall certainly experiment with ICM; thanks AG!

[@christianpatton1852]

Great vlog beautiful pictures really love the first ICM shot.

[@grat2010]

Very cool. I'll have to give icm a go.

[@rebbel67]

Wow, that 'caged' green tree photo...., beautiful!

[@stevebanks484]

Very timely Adam - this month's camera club theme is ICM. Thanks for the teach-in. 👍

[@tysanborn554]

Wonderful stuff Adam!

[@Kayahdog]

Went to a beautiful area with numerous aspen groves in full color today. After capturing many typical images, I worked on the ICM technique and as you described...lots of pictures and adjustments to find that right ‘formula’ of settings and movement. While I wasn’t in a rut per se, adding a new technique to the creative arsenal was a lot of fun. Thanks for the insight into a simple, but highly variable technique that really puts you in the creative drivers seat.

[@henkpeter1755]

Best video since a long time Adam, beautiful images too. Thanks for sharing.

[@Ginette688]

Beautiful! thank you 🌸🙏

[@GarethDanks]

Great video Adam those images worked rather well impressed with how nice they came out good job mate👍🏻😊

[@aengus1948]

Well you've gone and done it again, turned a sows ear into a silk purse!! I have been working with ICM since watching Andy Gray who does wonders in the field and with post processing using this technique. I recently tried ICM on a covered bridge to avoid the cliche of covered bridge only to discover that it just looks like it was taken from a speeding car (ugh) :)

[@Macman608]

As always, your images are a true inspiration. Such beauty that displays what earth has to offer. Thanks for what you do.

[@MargatePete6137]

Thanks Adam, all images very nice. I will have to give that a go. All the best........Peter.

[@LpJunior537]

I've always wanted to try ICM but never found a simple explanation for pulling it off. Thank you for that Adam.

[@Artist1974CH]

Beautiful work!! 😊

[@davidgilmore2565]

Thanks Adam. Creative ruts come frequently and your highlighting workarounds are most appreciated not to mention the ICM results are wonderful. Kind regards, Dave

[@DavidSenteno]

Your first ICM photo is beautiful. I've seen others that are moved to much. I enjoy the yellow background. Thanks for sharing. 🐼✌️🥂

[@hramakrishnaiah413]

Love the abstract icm image.

[@wendynewing8834]

I love your last image. It is gorgeous.

[@chrisroot7182]

Adam gets jiggy with it! I love the painterly look you got with the ICM images, the aspen forest really seemed to work well for this due to the contrast. Cheers!

[@robertwhitemoto]

Aspens are my favorite.. either the fall Yellow or turn them black and white to take advantage of those amazing trunks... with a sprinkle of evergreen / pine it makes for great contrast.

[@IslandFilmMaker]

I'm with you Adam! Aspen forest can be a challenge on your best days. When I'm having one-of-those-days, I look beyond the landscape canvas and have fun experimenting, finding new ways of what my camera can do with everything! And now with 4K video, it allows a entirely new aspect to options at your fingertips to explore. Never a dull day Bro!! Cheers

[@ashvarma2486]

Love the ICM images. Thanks for sharing.

[@karenwalter5784]

I will be trying this! The photos you shot using ICM are amazing. Something a little different but I love the look!

[@photobizmethod]

Me too :)

[@pdp11]

I really liked both the ICM images and the panorama.

[@MikeSenger]

Great stuff Adam!

[@GMC43]

Waw! Those last 2 images were amazing 👍👌

[@iemboyshostel]

I really liked the icm photos...awesome

[@SethPay]

Haha that dub over tripped me out at first! 😆 can’t wait to try out this technique!

[@aenima5074]

Loved the painted feel kind of shot. Love your works.

[@The_Cyberz]

I spy some voice dubbing 😄. Great vlog as always, love watching and learning.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Nah, must be your imagination ;-)

[@PatriciaDavidsonPhotography]

Great tutorial on ICM. I'm a big fan of doing this when I encounter a grove of trees. Beautiful work as always! 👍

[@MathenGeorge]

I have seen the ICM photographs by quite a few others but your's is the best so far, I should say. These shots look like paintings, definitely fine art material there. Now I am motivated to try out this technique. Thank you Adam!

[@waterman308]

Huh. And the last couple were beautiful too.

[@jasonkennedy2045]

Really enjoyed this one... Not tried ICM yet and I think it's really fascinating. Will give it a try and see how it goes. Thanks, Jase

[@josemanuelcasadomolina2462]

thanks for such great videos.

[@ninacleven7889]

Lovely video, really liked the first ICM image and the last image in the video.

[@sharonlee782]

Love that last one it's stunning 💜

[@johnsholian4318]

So good! Quiet light personified. Well done Adam!

[@1spitfirepilot]

I'm not normally a big fan of ICM but that worked well, IMO. Great pano, too.

[@CostaMesaPhotography]

Another excellent and inspiring video...and of course, the resulting images were all stunning!

[@DavidSwarthout]

Very cool! Those ICM photos, especially the first several you showed, were quite wonderful. The aspens with their light bark backed by the golden leaves - wow! Very nice, indeed. By the way, when traveling in grizzly country in my home state of Alaska, I always make loud noises, yelling out "Hey bear!" every 100 yards or so because as you correctly observed, the last thing you want to do is surprise a grizzly.

[@glic83]

Quality video as always 👌

[@jimwlouavl]

Beautiful images. I’m going to try this in the spring, I.e., in a few weeks. My hope is that it will emphasize the variety of greens in early spring without the viewer focusing on each type of plant.

[@kenneagle8989]

I would love a segment on post processing for the ICM shots.

[@MrMikevw]

Maybe not an expert at it, but some of those shots were pretty darn nice! And like at least one other said, the music is this vid was very good and fitting. Always enjoy your vids.

[@dreamcatcher3622]

I love ICM, and that is an outstanding example - great stuff.

[@anvilcloud]

Very helpful with fine results. My fave, however, was probably the very first photo of the little fir tree amongst the aspens. As usual you music choices really help set a mood.

[@zigatretjak75]

Really nice!

[@JayMacroPhotos]

I tried icm recently and it’s so much fun!

[@damonfinlay6519]

ICM can be great fun to try out, I find the vertical movement works best in woodland and horizontal panning for the coast can give some great results too. Particularly liked the shot at the end with the path heading off into the woodland. 👌👍

[@hamsterneckliving]

So far behind on my videos that I almost missed this one. I love the intentional movement photo you took. That’s beautiful!

[@rskura]

Fantastic video Adam! This one reminded me of your earlier videos that first got me interested in your channel. Very interesting images. I will have to try ICM, maybe next time I am having difficulty with a busy composition.

[@davidroberts5535]

Very nice Adam. The ICM is excellent.

[@davidbruceod]

As always, a great job. Looks like I need to get in one of your ruts, so I can make some great images getting out!

[@Bazzo61]

As you state (you mention Monet), some of these look like impressionist paintings. Have tried ICM myself and it's not as easy as it sounds to get good results. Love that first shot of yours.

[@timothylinn]

ADAM GIBBS: With ICM, you take a bunch of shots and hope one turns out. [GIBBS raises camera to face and casually takes a single shot. View cuts away from GIBBS in the field to full screen view of his shot. It is better than any ICM shot the viewer has ever taken.] ADAM GIBBS: (casually) Yeah. I'm pretty happy with that one... LOL. Another great video, Adam.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Haha you know me well ;-)

[@timothylinn]

@@QuietLightPhoto Just to be clear, Adam, I was laughing at how much better your first casual ICM image was than the best ICM image I've ever taken. :-)

[@andrewherbert9938]

Quite liked the icm but preferred the straight shots they were really nice , good video Adam as always

[@andychattaway5620]

Super video Adam - thoroughly enjoyed. I think what makes your videos so good to watch is your style of production. Your videos are understated, your images are definitely not. 👌

[@chriss2761]

Loving the icm images Adam 👍

[@jrcandela77]

great photos Adam!!! like them all,well done!!

[@oldfilmguy9413]

BEAUTIFUL!!

[@ChrisKoehn]

This reminds me of another photographer I admire named Chris Harris. He has some interesting abstracts created with ICM and he's also from B.C.!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Chris has a great gallery as well

[@souled1163]

I've not had much luck trying this. This makes me want to give it another shot though. Very nice Adam!

[@martyd5819]

Your last image was my A.G. photo of the week. Very nice. Getting excited to get out for some autumn shooting here on the west coast of Pennsylvania. 8>)

[@PMCN53]

Beautiful examples of ICM Adam, must give it a go.

[@RicardoPestana]

I need to try this.

[@jennifersayers8041]

I must try this, ive attempted it before but did it all wrong thinking filters would help and then gave up. Thank you 🙂

[@GuyRaymond_GR]

Funny, last year after the Tonquin trip we did stop in the aspen forest on the way to Pyramid lake and we did some ICM. :-) . Keep on doing, following you with interest!

[@Valadhiel76]

Lovely ICM, Adam. I really like the first ICM you did of the Aspen trees. It looks like a water color painting. Would look lovely in a frame. As far as favorites from this video, it's the ICM Apsen photo I just described as well as the ICM photo where there are diagonal lines (though I wish the yellow had popped more in that one); and then the clear shot photo of the white Aspen trunks and the yellow foliage in the background that shows up at around 12:33. :) I do like your initial shot as well - the one with the little evergreen with the leaves stuck in it. Great as always. Looking forward to more fall photos from you.

[@georgefrench1907]

DarkAnjel I agree. That first shot Adam showed is portfolio-worthy.👍

[@Nature_Wild_And_Free]

Beautiful images Adam! I tried my first ICM this past spring was alot of fun! Another great video..

[@tompolys6984]

Quite timely, I am literally preparing to leave for the aspen forests of Colorado. Keep the great content coming.

[@robertleathers5630]

first ICM photos Ive actually liked. Well done, now if you encounter a grizzly keep shooting the ICM will be natural!

[@fubband]

Lovely stuff, Adam, that first ICM image is a stunner! The bg colours really help make it 👍🏻 The very last ‘straight’ image is very nice too :)

[@Christie2878]

I really loved these images. I think I need to test out ICM :) The first one of the small tree reminded me of a Christmas tree (Summer Christmas here in Australia). Thank you Adam for such inspiring and beautiful images.

[@jamesjohnston6765]

I know that you are aware of the rut when iy happens Adam, but you seem to be able to get back on the road pretty quickly. These are wonderful images and although I love the artistic challenge of the ICM studies I have to say that those last two shots really blew me away. Aspens are one of the things that I miss from my youth in Arizona. We don't have them here and for the most part, the birches here rarely grow straight. They have the same look to their bark but present a completely different sort of challenge.

[@michaelvail2446]

Good one!

[@DiviPhotos]

Cool video

[@paulafontanini5719]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video Adam! Beautiful area and I love how the Aspens turned out in your ICM shots...really lovely as was your pano! I was a bit concerned for your safety though, so glad the grizzlies stayed away! I agree with others who say your music selections are always so perfectly suited to your videos.

[@lisarobertson7011]

Beautiful images , was this forest on Vancouver Island? Lovely

[@gayleruble6529]

Very cool! Inspired me to try it as it is a break from the norm. I watched another vid on ICM before but it did not inspire me due to their subject matter.

[@bobrutan4735]

Very coooool!
