Loved all the variations of the photo at the end, especially the very colorful one ! 🤩😍
Thank you so much 😀
Yahoo loved that faboulus image before and after. Thanks Andrew
Thank you. Always great to have feedback.
I like the final images. They look great.
Thanks
Very interesting video I liked the brief post processing exmple
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching
Brilliant, I will try this next month out back in an old Gold mining town.👌🏾🇦🇺
Would love to see the results.
Cracking. Thanks Andy.
Very welcome
Andy, you’re looking well and in high spirits. Good to see you this way. Greetings from Cape Cod Massachusetts.
Thanks. I take the "good" days when I can get them.
Very interesting, Andy. This is the first time I’ve seen this technique. Thanks from East Tennessee USA.
Give it a try, Morris.
Love your videos.
Glad you like them!
A very interesting video, Andrew.
I know you've been working on this for a while.
And what I see is that you take it seriously and go very far with it in post-production.
I tried it indoors and I now understand what you mean by shooting the same thing but slightly different.
See the next video.
Antoine.
Images like this are intensive in the post production stages, Antoine. For me, it's part of the art - I use the camera like a brush (or roller!) and then spend a lot of time later merging, adjusting, double exposing and so much more. There's probably a couple of hours of editing in that last image, but it's a corker (well, I think so anyway, I know it's not everybody's taste). My intention is to create art from digital photos - make something totally unique and unrepeatable.
Sorry, I haven't emailed you yet. Will do soon.
Be well,
Andy
Interesting video, Andy. I do ICM, and sometimes for exactly the same reason, but i use a very different processes with the intention of achieving quite different results. And that is not to say that i object to the results that yours and thingys process delivers - as images, i enjoy them - but what is important to me in the images i make (this being about what is maintained and what is discarded) isn't well served by that method. Anyway - i watched the first five minutes and decided to go do some ICM. Then i got to the location... got all my gear and options sorted and good to go... and the most amazing atmospheric phenomena hit and i had to shoot it straight. I was only out for an hour and i got home with a card full of madness. Such is life. And then i watched the rest of the vid. I've a straight shot planned for tomorrow afternoon and, when that's in the bag, i'll try again for some ICM... wish me luck. Cheers.
Try creating a layered stack of ICMs OVER a straight shot. Then, in Photoshop, use masks to maintain the areas you want "straighter". Worth a go, I'd say. The options really are quite endless.
@@AndyBanner I can see the appeal and appreciate the results - it's stuff that i'm happy to look at and contemplate... maybe even go 'Wow, that's really cool!' However, it's not a process that captures what i'm trying to convey with my photography - it's really a journey in precisely the opposite direction. My photography isn't 'Art', per se - it's about trying to draw attention to values (not just artistic) and meanings that are independent of 'I - Photographer' - that exist regardless of my intervention, but in a way that is not as 'cool' or straight as Documentary: maybe, trying to tease The Overlooked out of the familiar. Anyway... it's a fool's errand. All the best, Mon Ami - i'm looking forward to the next from the Inimitable Andy B! Cheers.
Hmm. Watch this space.
Love this. Not pompous. You know what you are doing, we learn.
Cheers
I like viewing 'arty' and 'edgy' photos, but have had difficulty breaking out of the representational single shot mode. Your video has inspired me to finally try using multiple, layered and blended imaged, embellished with my Nik Collection, etc. It feels a lot like stepping off into the unknown, and beyond my abilities, but I will give it a go! Thanks for another informative and fun video! ;-)
I hope you have some success. There's a little of frames to be taken in ICM and the chances of being good at the start are slim to nothing. Check every image and pay attention to how you move. If the shot looks OK, go again with measured movements similar to those that got you to this stage
Thanks, Andy! @@AndyBanner
This is a great idea, Andy. I have done some ICM in the past but they never seem to turn out well. I think to myself, how can you stink at this...but I do, lol. I just need to think more deeply into what I am trying to do and spend more time doing it! This was definitely inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing. Ps. I enjoyed your editing video and I hope you do a few more :)
ICM can take some practice. One easy mistake to make is to be less choosy over subject and composition - it's a big mistake. Also, not understanding how to move the camera to match the subject. Dancing with the camera as I am here is not expected to create anything that would be remotely usable without a lot of post processing, but it's perfectly possible to get good results straight out of camera. Have you seen this video? czcams.com/video/_BENdVTNMDs/video.html It might help you along the way.
@@AndyBanner Yes, I did see that video and just watched it again. It's not so much my direction, I've got that down I think. It's more my subject matter and probably my thought process...which is lacking. I do have two or three that I like but the rest are trash. I'll keep at it though. Thanks again for the inspiration. Be well~
Subject and composition are as important with ICM as straight photography.
Easy subjects are single people and couples. Ideally in brighter colours - great if they have an umbrella too. Small movements and just go for it. Maybe just set the camera to continuous shooting, select your subjects and just roll the shutter. If you get more than a couple of useable ones from any shoot initially, you'll be doing well.
