I LOVE this abstract fine art photo technique! (Easy Photoshop tutorial)

In this week's video I show a Photoshop technique that lets you create dreamy, blurred landscape images that blend in static figures for a minimalist, abstract scene, similar to the ICM (intentional camera movement) technique. It's a bit different from my normal work, but it's a fun and straight forward way to create a totally different look from an otherwise fairly plain image.

Just a heads up - rather than Ctrl+C/V, when you have a selection, just hit Ctrl+J to duplicate the selection to a new layer 😊

A great technique to salvage images that would otherwise be destined for the delete bin. I have some images I will definitely try this on, thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks Craig! It's definitely a fun way of trying to add some magic into shots that otherwise might be forgotten. I plan to go through my catalogue over the years and see if there are more that I can try this with! Good luck with yours and please feel free to share the results!

I'm relatively new, at it for a couple of years but only as time allows, and have been learning by trial, error and KZfaq. This not only gives me a new "toy" to play with but has also inspired me to perhaps search out scenes specifically for using this. Thank you for the video!

Hi Andrew I like to class myself as a purist when it comes to photography. If the sky isn't good in an image I won't replace it, I'll just go back another day and hopefully get a better sky. I really don't like composite images and it's not something that I want to try but this technique I found very interesting. I definitely want to try it on some of my images that look suitable. As you said it's not something that I'd do regularly but now again when an image suits it's worth trying it

Thank you for posting this ''work around''. I mean i remember a couple of years ago trying something like that by panning the camera during a long exposure, and blending elements (people or boat), into the image, but the results were nowhere as clean. I will try to revisit these images using the Photoshop side of the force. It is a path to many abilities some deem unnatural... But clearly effective ;-)

@AndrewLanxonPhotography 2 жыл бұрын

I think it's an effect that can probably be achieved a variety of different ways! In the future I'd like to try and combine in-camera long exposure movements for the blur and then blend in the static elements to reduce the reliance on photoshop even more, but then it may still not be as nice as how these turned out. Only time will tell I guess! Thanks for watching!
