ICM Street Series Vol. 1



Good morning and welcome back to my blog. Last week, I shared my shooting experience with ICM a.k.a. Intentional Camera Movement, along with some street photos. I really got hooked up with this unique and creative technique. So, today I'm introducing a new photography series on ICM. Starting this October 2022, I will be showing the photos whenever I have a body of work. Initially, I wanted it to be a bi-monthly series. There are a couple of reasons. One reason is, as much as I like this shooting style I still like doing the usual street photography and posting new street photos on this blog site. Secondly, it will give me enough time (I hope) to juggle between normal street shooting and ICM. In this case, I will have to shoot as many ICM street photos as possible. Not going for quantities but more on the quality and aesthetics.

So I'll see how things go and adapt accordingly along the way whichever works out. OK without further ado, let's jump in to view the photos.

Random Street Phonographs



It's been a long time since I last took street photographs with a Smartphone. I used to enjoy taking pictures with my iPhone 6 Plus until it went dead in October 2021. The latest iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max with upgraded features has a super steep price tag. So, after using iOS for almost 6 years, I went back to an Android phone - the Realme C21 (RMX3201). The camera function is not as good as iPhone, of course, but good enough for normal photo-taking.

So, one afternoon I took a few impromptu photos at the nearby Community Club, and these are the two presentable ones to show here. The images are made with a downloaded camera app namely, Manual Camera: DSLR Camera Pro. All images are post-processed in Snapseed app. Yes, it is my all-time favorite mobile photo editing app.

OK, that's it for today's blog. Just want to make a quick blog post sharing some simple and random photos with you all. Take care and have a great week ahead. Cheers!

Which photograph do you like best? Is the color one or monochrome? Let me know in the comment section below.

Personally, I like both (chuckles). However, the monochrome eliminates all color elements, giving more form and textures. I always see and previsualize in black and white despite shooting in color with an old DSLR like D70s. No Monochrome mode in this digital camera but this camera is so easy to work with. Not so many settings to fumble around.

The temple in the photo is Sri Krishnan Temple. It is a Hindu temple in Singapore. Built in 1870 and gazetted as a national monument of Singapore in 2014, it is one of Singapore's oldest temples and is the only South Indian temple in Singapore dedicated to Krishna and his consort Rukmini.

I hope you enjoy my new work and there are more to come. So, subscribe to my blog for recent photo posts and get notified of new posts if you haven't already done so. You too can follow me on my IG here. Thank you.
