       | Slightly disappointed...I read this as
       | 
       |  _International Camel Movement Photography Magazine_
       | 
       | Now _that_ would have been quirky and interesting...
       | 
       | I'm sure this is good, but still.
       | 
       |  _edit: I checked this out, and this is GREAT! It 's beautiful.

         | At first, I thought the same thing too, but, to be fair, this
         | is a site that clearly caters to people who are familiar with
         | acronym and the associated activity. As such, it might not be a
         | good candidate for posting here, and there is no reason why
         | every site should be. In this case, the free sample issue of
         | the magazine, linked to elsewhere in these comments by
         | somethingsaid, would seem to be a better introduction.

           | Fairly common, also.
           | 
           | Consider panning, in sports photography, where you track a
           | player in a field while the background blurs from side to
           | side. Also in motor sports, some nature photography, or any
           | time a photographer wants a motion effect, perhaps in street
           | photography, or even snapshots at family events.
           | 
           | Edit: similar effect in travel photos, where someone shoots
           | from a moving vehicle - far background might look fairly
           | stable, near background (cyclists & vehicles) blur, people in
           | your vehicle might be stable, depending on shutter speed and
           | how much bouncing on the road.

           | Ahhh so this is different from camera movements [1] used in
           | large format photography to manipulate the focal plane and
           | achieve various effects. These movements take place only
           | before the exposure, not during.

       | I'm not saying this isn't a cool thing, maybe it is. But
       | "Intentional Camera Movement" is an ambiguous phrase. It took me
       | a bit to realize it's about moving cameras intentionally (ie,
       | blurry photos). Not about being intentional with or about cameras
       | as a social movement. hah

       | I've used various techniques for slow sync flash throughout my
       | photography career. Worked exceptionally well for stage
       | photography, night-time events, electronica concerts, and the
       | like. Slow sync flash is when you let ambient light expose the
       | film or sensor for a while, before you freeze the scene by
       | activating the flash late. It really takes "painting with light"
       | to a new level, though it's of course not the only way to use
       | intentional camera movement.
       | 
       | Nearly all my photographs from such events use some kind of
       | intentional camera movement together with a delayed or early
       | flash sync. Slow sync flash is a delightful technique that you
       | can be really, really creative with. Try it with double
       | exposures, for instance, or with weirdly synced monoblocs.
       | 
       | I've seen great photos taken of dancers and animals in movement
       | done that way. Moreover, this technique (if you've got it buried
       | in your camera settings somewhere), sets you free to really
       | disregard some of the holy tenets of photography, which is to
       | never, ever move the camera, ever. Nay, in fact it prompts you to
       | be dynamic and jittery, to lounge forward into the music, and let
       | the final image really SHOW how great that moment really was.

         | This is one of two ways to do this (as you know), called rear
         | curtain sync (or the flash fires at the end of the exposure).
         | You can also use front curtain sync, which fires at the start
         | of the exposure, and get a slightly different effect.
         | 
         | For example, with a stationary camera and a galloping horse,
         | front curtain sync would show a ghost of the horse running
         | forward from its image, whereas rear curtain sync would show
         | the ghost run towards the image (ie the horse would have a
         | ghost "tail").
        
           | Wistar wrote:
           | I've always preferred the results of first curtain flash as
           | they seem to make more visual, and temporal, sense to me,
           | IMAGE->trails, rather than trails->IMAGE.

             | I think it really depends on the subject and your own
             | personal aesthetic. I prefer rear curtain, because it makes
             | more sense to me that the moving object has a "tail", but
             | it's too specific to the subject to really have a solid
             | rule.
