Everyone struggles with the idea that they really are creative. We often learn to hide our creative tendencies, if at first they failed to gain appreciation. But ICM (intentional camera movement) is a chance to open that door once again. It's a chance to let yourself be expressive and creative with very very little investment of time or gear. You don't need fancy lenses. You don't need to travel to the other side of the world. You probably don't even need to leave your own home in fact.

Join me for a super speedy introduction to having fun with very slow shutters and a whirl of colours.

Most of these images were captured with an ND filter. This year I've been travelling with the OKKO pro range of magnetic filters and it's been sooooooo wonderful being able to have one ND64 that works on all my lenses and pops on and off as needed without the nightmare of threads etc. https://okkopro.com/
