Possibilities

Hazy Dawn — Jordan Lake, NC © jj raia

In early 2014, about 18 months after switching to digital, I did a few experiments with what I called blurred images, but have since learned they are properly identified as Intentional Camera Movement, or ICM. Even though I had done some previously with a basic digital point & shoot camera about five years earlier (below), there were plenty of limitations using that camera and wanted to experiment with the new DSLR having much more control over the shutter speed, aperture, etc. It was a method I would eventually use extensively later that year on a month-long trip photographing the golden leaves and white trunks of aspens in autumn.

Foggy Sunrise — Jordan Lake, NC © jj raia

Beginning soon, the first in a series of small portfolios, focused on a single theme, will become available for free download. The initial folio will be from the continuing project of photographing North Carolina’s Jordan Lake (including the image above), with additional folios of differing themes to follow from time to time without any particular schedule. In order to receive an email notification when a new folio becomes available, you’ll have to sign up by filling in your email and click the Subscribe button below. Once enrolled, you’ll receive an email notification when another folio is available for free downloading through this blog. It’s that simple. If you’re already signed up for blog notifications, you don’t need to enroll, you’re already included.
