A Camversation Event
A Week of ICM with Stephanie Johnson
(Subject to minor changes prior to the start date.)
Overview of Sessions
5 Live 2-Hour Zoom Sessions Monday – Friday – 14-18 August 2023
This Week of ICM covers a progressive range of topics and approaches to ICM photography, with a focus on doing the work in-camera primarily with DSLR and Mirrorless camera systems as the foundation. The course will progress from introducing basic ICM techniques through to more advanced ICM techniques with single exposures. Following on from single exposure ICM techniques, a session will be devoted to Mobile ICMs, for those interested in exploring this avenue with ICM. Lastly, multiple exposure (ME) ICM techniques will be covered, which will include the use of various in-camera blending modes, as well as a section devoted comparing in-camera ME ICMs in relation to post-processing methods of creating ME ICMs by layering individual ICM images in Photoshop.
