Long Exposure Panoramas and ICM

Nothing captures the imagination more than evocative artwork that requires the viewer to complete the vision. These long-exposure panoramas and ICM, intentional camera movement, images encapsulate the viewer.

Ghost Waves

A handheld pan using a longer shutter speed is normally associated for a genre of shooting called ICM or Intentional Camera Movement. In this case the ghosting waves drive the imagination and transport the viewer to their own time on the shores of Toguchi Beach.

Give Me An ‘A’

Intentional Camera Movement is an emerging genre within photography. It allows the artist to create artwork that appeals to their interpretation of the scene when absorbing the textures, colors, and motion before them.

Domestic Arrival

A wavelet arrives on a beach in the northern confines of the main island at sunset. Could it have originated in the neighboring island of Yoron or Amami Oshima? Could it be from further afield, yet from within national boundaries?

Somewhat Warped

A panorama of the horizon at sunset, when taken with a supremely wide-angle lens, will result in a somewhat bowed perspective. Depending on the sweep of the arm will determine just how severe that bow will become.

Green Slide

To be able to capture the full gamut of Ocean tones one also has to wait for days when the sun doesn't shine, day's when after significant rains the waters become green and turbid.

Golden Horizon

An eruption of motion, tones, and light in this motion panorama captivates the viewer. Shot around 30 minutes before sunrise on the east of the main island of Okinawa after a night of wild camping in the Yambaru region.

A Trace of Waves

Whether a rough, grey day or one of tranquility filled with the vibrant hues of a tropical sunset. This imaging style creates ponderous scenes in all settings.

Evening Hues

The subdued evening hues in Northern Okinawa with a trace of the receding sun. A slow shutter panorama that enthuses the viewer to bask in the warmth of a tropical evening.
