Impressionist Photography
Unable to paint or even draw a straight line, I look for other ways to express myself. Multiple exposures, RGB (red-green-blue) filters, and intentional camera movements (ICM) result in unique and sometimes beautiful images that capture a feeling more than the reality.
“Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.” ― Pablo Picasso
Intentional Camera Movement (ICM)
Camera movement done with intention can create painterly images or provide an impressionistic view rather than an objective reality of a subject or location.

Study of a beach resort at dusk through ICM
Taken from my hotel room balcony at Manteo Beach Resort in Kelowna - low dusk light, a slow shutter speed, playing with camera movement, lights on a dock, and nature’s colours came together.
Variation on blue with purple hills
Sky and lighted dock
Light trails and pink skies
Boats or bird reflections
Light writing on the lake
Drawing with lights
Water impressions
This is less about the camera moving and more about the water moving and the interplay with light.
