Centre Parcs - Chairs Intentional Camera Movement

I have been watching some Training Videos by Doug Chinery and Velda Bailey relating to in camera multiple exposure and intentional camera movement (ICM).

I have enjoyed creating images with ICM for quite a few years. Typically things like trees with a vertical movement and beach scenes with a horizontal movement. I have also twisted the camera.

In the video Doug suggested less extreme movement and a shorter shutter speed. So after Sue and I got back from a walk in the forest I took my camera onto the patio and 'just played'

I took about 200 photos just messing around. Many where similar, but I found that there is a skill to be leaned. Little flicks, Different Shutter Speeds, Moving in and out and not just horizontal and vertical.

Subject matter - in these shots the bright steel chair legs and patterns attracted me. After these I went into the trees and did some more - maybe another blog coming on this.

Also at the post production stage, just cropping a portion of the frame created, to me, some pleasing images.

Centre Parcs - Observation Hide

Continuing with your stay at Center Parcs, Elveden Forest, Sue and I walked down to the Wildlife Observation Hide and spent a couple of hours watching and photographing the wildlife. I particularly liked the Nuthatch's

Center Parcs - In-Camera Multiple Exposure

Sue and I have just got back from a few days on our own at Centre Parcs in Elveden Forest. We stayed in a very nice Forest Chalet. Where we were there I continued to practice In-Camera Multiple Exposure. Here are some results. All taken on the Canon 5D mark 4, some with In Camera Movement (ICM) incorporated as one of the exposures.

Dungeness Infrared

We visited Dungeness in August 2018, these photos all taken on my Canon 20D IR converted Camera. Processed in Photoshop, all images where processed with swapped channels.

Dungeness is a shingle beach with many disused fishing huts. It is a well photographed area and I had wanted to visit for a number of years. I was not disappointed. These photos where taken late afternoon. Beautiful light.
