Move the camera!

Details

This photowalk takes a page from the playbook of 52Frames (www.52frames.com) where each week you try your hands at a different theme/technique of photography.

So for this week’s challenge, it’s moving the camera.

From the site:
“The beauty of ICM (moving the camera) lies in its ability to simplify and focus. Imagine photographing a dense forest. Normally, you'd capture every detail - trees, bushes, leaves. However, by moving your camera vertically during the shot, you distill the scene into its core elements: structure, color, and the vertical lines of the trees. This method can eliminate distractions, allowing your main subject to shine.

Experiment with different movements, like zooming in or out during exposure to create a dynamic depth effect, or try panning. Panning involves moving your camera in sync with a moving subject (like a car or a bird) to keep it sharp against a blurred background, intensifying focus on the subject.

Creativity is key in ICM photography. Use slower shutter speeds to introduce intentional blur, or experiment with panning to add a sharp twist to moving subjects. Subjects like dancers, wildlife, or nature scenes can become mesmerizing through your lens. Remember, the goal is to capture moments that tell a story or evoke emotion, paying attention to composition and creativity along the way.”

We will take a walk along the Flower market and bird alley then venture into Mongkok.

You will need some basic knowledge of slow shutter speed/exposure in order to produce the “movement” effect.
