Multi-exposure ICM photography

Hi guys!

I have done a little series of 9 images (here are 3 of them) taken on a boat using the ICM technique and by blending two exposures in-camera.

The idea was to take the first shot with a motion, and the second shot with the same motion, but with the camera flipped upside down to get symmetry in the final image.

Have a great day!

Now THIS is abstract, Jonas! Well done. Love them all, especially the second one; for me it evokes a sense of a treacherous valley, like a linear black hole. The first evokes an undersea world, like looking up at a breaking wave from beneath. The final one has shades of liquid, fire, drapery and disorienting motion. I love the colour in each, whether it was there or you did it yourself in post.

I'd have had NO idea how you made these - and so much the better for that!

Let's see more from you!

I will agree with everything that you said, Chris. The second is absolutely my favorite. Great work, Jonas!

Thanks a lot Chris, really appreciated it! The colors were kind of here as it's water, but I did tweak them to get what I wanted :)

I like it. When I first looked at them I thought it was the wake of water that trails behind a boat or motor. Your explanation that it was a boat confirmed my suspicions. Unless someone has owned/ridden in a boat, I don't think they would figure out what it was. Very cool though.

Thank you so much! It was on a sternwheeler boat, with the wheels on the side, so the wave created by them are on the side of the boat, not behind it :)

That is a nice boat. My father had a small trihull boat, it too would put a wake on the side of the boat where you could see it when you were sitting in the bow (front) of the boat. I no longer have my boat so I cannot do any experimenting with wake. But nice images non the less.

Nothing to do with your fine images, Jonas, but to be pedantic the "Italie" is a sidewheeler. She's very graceful, as many are. Below is a sternwheeler.

Above all else I love the creativity behind these Jonas. The fact that you chose blend and to rotate the images results in tricks being played on the mind.

Excellent thought-provoking work!
