Credit: Chris Dale<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>My local Nottinghamshire landscape isn\u2019t the most exciting for a photographer, especially when you\u2019re used to seeing epic vistas posted on social media every week from people who can travel a lot or live with the Scottish Highlands on their doorstep. It\u2019s easy to get jealous and blame your surroundings for a lack of inspiration. But while there are plenty of forests and woodlands where I live, which I love to shoot, I wanted to create something different.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past year or so, having tried some abstract techniques including multiple exposures and intentional camera movement (ICM), I began toying with the idea of making an altered landscape from my local area. I completed a couple of small projects last year and focused on the idea of creating something out of nothing. But I wanted to do something bigger this time: I wanted to transport the viewer to one of those epic mountain vistas.<\/p>\n<p>For me, the best thing about this style of photography and this project idea in particular is that the location isn\u2019t important. It is much more accessible for me to be able to create images with nothing more than the smallest of hills or some gently rolling fields, and I am not so reliant on weather conditions.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_116818&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116818\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-starting-point.jpg\" alt=\"Intentional camera movement starting point\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-starting-point.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-starting-point.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-starting-point.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-starting-point.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-starting-point.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">The starting point for many of my images. Credit: Chris Dale<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Getting started<\/h2>\n<p>The project really started one evening in late November when I just missed a bit of fantastic cloudy light and didn\u2019t want to come home empty-handed. So I started trying some ICM techniques on a nearby golf course. There were a few small mounds near a green and I decided there and then that I was going to turn them into a big mountain scene. Nothing beats getting out there and experimenting, but you need to have an idea of what you\u2019re trying to achieve with ICM or you\u2019ll just get a blurry mess.<\/p>\n<p>All the images in this project are single exposures with nothing added or removed in post. I am not against doing this, but I don\u2019t particularly enjoy the workflow and don\u2019t think it would be the right approach for this project. Instead, I experimented with contrast and colour adjustments.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_116809&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116809\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-clear-sky-colder-feel.jpg\" alt=\"Intentional camera movement clear sky colder feel\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-clear-sky-colder-feel.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-clear-sky-colder-feel.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-clear-sky-colder-feel.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-clear-sky-colder-feel.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-clear-sky-colder-feel.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">A clear winter sky gives a colder feel.

Credit: Chris Dale<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>After loading the shots onto my laptop and beginning to process them, I started to think that I really had something here. There are no rules in editing this type of photography, and I\u2019m often quite bold and heavy handed, making big adjustments to match the feel I had in mind when I was out capturing them. You almost always need to inject some contrast back in to give the images a boost.<\/p>\n<p>Lightroom presets are great for project work and particularly handy for ICM images, as many scenes can be overlooked at first glance but can really come alive with basic processing. Quickly applying this to all the photos before going through and flagging the ones you want to work on further can help you.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_116811&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116811\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-golf-course.jpg\" alt=\"Intentional camera movement golf course\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-golf-course.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-golf-course.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-golf-course.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-golf-course.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-golf-course.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Another from the local golf course that provided almost half of the project images.

Credit: Chris Dale<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>A project comes together<\/h2>\n<p>There were a few images from that first evening that became the basis of my new project, which was to be titled \u2018Mountains from Molehills\u2019. Over the following few weeks, I concentrated on trying to make more and barely took a \u2018normal\u2019 photo. The difficulty is in keeping enough variety \u2013 it is easy to end up with a lot of very similar images with this technique, but I wanted to create different landscapes in different conditions, with a range of weather, light and mood. For this, you\u2019re still reliant on getting out at the right times. Even though you\u2019re shooting abstracts, the light still defines many aspects of the shot; for example, you don\u2019t want too much contrast between sky and land, so bright days are best avoided, and you can clearly see the difference between photos taken with clear skies or dramatic cloud.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_116807&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116807\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-blue-hue.jpg\" alt=\"Intentional camera movement blue hue\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-blue-hue.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-blue-hue.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-blue-hue.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-blue-hue.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2018\/02\/Intentional-camera-movement-blue-hue.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">This and the image below were taken minutes apart in the same location but have a very different feel.
