A handheld, in-camera, horizontal ICM of a beautiful sunset reflecting on the water of a nearby lake.
I hand held the camera vertically and panned horizontally from right to left quickly for this image.
I composed the shot with just a bare minimum of the sky above the horizon line (the darkest area at the top) because the sun was still fully above the horizon, but reflecting brilliantly on the water of the lake.
So the majority of this frame is of the sun reflecting on the water, and the lines are created by the ripples on the lake, as well as the wakes from a few passing speed boats.
As mentioned above, this is a hand held ICM, single frame, no filters. Technical details are as follows:
Canon 5D Mark III
Canon f/4L 70-200mm
ISO 100
f/32
1/10"
200mm
Minimally processed in Lightroom and finished in Photoshop
Thoughts, comments, and feedback always welcome.
You did well to keep it all so straight hand-held, Stephanie! Nice work. I'm generally no fan of ICM per se, but as an abstract seascape that could be a painting, your image appeals a lot. I like your high horizon. I can't think of anything I'd change about the image.
I note your portfolio contains a number of fine ICM images. Look forward to seeing more from you. :-)
Thanks so much, Chris! I appreciate you having a look and for your kind words. 😊 I've done loads of ICMs and that has helped me hone the technique to be able to shoot straight lines. I never use a tripod. 😊
Beautiful work. I have never tried ICM but I really like your portfolio.
Thank you, Rob, for taking time to view my portfolio and your kind words. So glad you enjoyed my ICMs. 😊
its really nice, I have never try ICM, maybe I should.
Thanks, Dalida. I appreciate that. Yes, it is definitely worth giving ICM a go sometime. 😊
Thanks Stephanie, I will try.
U managed to keep it really straight. very nice end result and the framing gives depth. Never tried ICM, but seeing this. its worth a shot
Thank you, Tarek. I appreciate your kind words. Ive taken thousands of ICM frames, so I've been able to develop of technique that works well for me to keep the lines straight while hand-holding my ICMs. You definitely should give ICM a go. The options and results are virtually endless for what you can do with it.
