Came here after seeing his work in the KZread shorts of the Pentax channel, awesome vibe and interview. Very relaxing and love his respectful attitude.

Nice to see you back. First class. Bill has some fantastic imges on his IG account

Wow, what an insiprational video. I'd never heard of ICM before, but how beautiful and inspiring are those images.

Oly Moly I had no idea ICM was so freekin beautiful. Watching Bill was inspiring. Thank you for this!!!

Haha. Me neither. It was great fun.

I really enjoyed this one mate. I've watched one of Bill's talks before and I thought he spoke very well about his photographs and I found his photography very interesting. It was great seeing you out on location with him having a casual chat like a couple of mates. Nice work mate.

Hey man. Thanks for watching! Yeah was a fantastic shoot. He’s a great guy! Filmed nearly 2 hrs of footage haha.

Bill is a great actor Gareth. He was Mr Nasty in Coronation Street (according to the wife as I didn't watch it 😀) but she said he used to get abuse in the street due to how convincing he was. Great vlog btw, my neighbour does ICM of colourful fish and koy Carp through calm water. I sometimes do ICM in my street photography but I called it WSA (wrong settings again)👍

This is quality Gareth. Really enjoyed the interviews, the BTS content, ideas of shooting movements and techniques and of course the final images. Top work bud

Nice to see you back Gareth. Yes, ICM photography is infectious. If you got a few unique shots (from thousands) you never want to finish doing it. I even do ICM streets now and I like what I'm getting. Look like Bill is crazy about ICM too. The best thing is all about it, you never know what you get like the regular sometimes really boring and overdone photography.

Really enjoyed this video. Excellent job, my friend.

Awesome pics. And what a nice couple of guys

Hugely enjoyable, and inspirational Gareth. Thanks for getting Bill along to show his approach to ICM. Can't wait to give it a go myself again very soon.

@@GarethDanks Hi Gareth, I really like them all, but my absolute favourite is the one at 12:27 of the thistle type plants. It wasn't (to me) an obvious candidate for ICM, but the result was brilliant. I've also had a look at Bills images on Instagram and his website, and I'm glad I don't have to chose a favourite from those, they're beautiful.

What a great video, thanks to you and Bill.

A very enjoyable watch, all the images where superb. I’ve been following Bill for quite sometime. Belting Gareth 👍

I really enjoyed this one Gareth, it's a skill I haven't tried before, and I will now. Bill was an interesting guy, so I'll be following him on Instagram now, thanks mate. Tony

Excellent video, many thanks to you both for sharing....

Hey there, great to see you again Gareth. Some excellent shots in ICM from both you and Bill. My favourite unfortunately is not ICM it’s the low down shot of the sunset with the soft focus wave. Great vlog mate, all the best

Enjoyed watching this one very much. I’ve been taking my camera out nearly every day and had forgotten about ICM completely. However I do love some of this images here, particularly One of Bills grasses. I’ll definitely be giving this a go later tonight and by the looks of things filling up a memory card! Thanks for posting this!

Daniel-san. Love it. Fantastic content. I’ve recently seen ICM images and wondered about the process. Will be definitely giving it ago this afternoon. Brilliant. 🔥

Very inspiring!

This is a great video, really inspiring. Thanks!

Great to see you back Gareth,though ICM isn’t something I’ve tried or like very much these were great.

Thanks Gareth, this was a fun watch. I've played with ICM some, took 4 or 5 and then moved back to more normal photos. I'll give it a more proper try and check out Bill's web site. At about 15:30 is my favorite and 20:40 is another.

Thank you for saying “ISO AUTO is the way”. I shoot leica and I can’t understand why people are riding that dial all day long. I understand for some shots how you may want everything on manual, but most of the time, let’s be frank, the camera gets it right 95% of the time.

Thanks for sharing this technique and the challenge to give it a go. Your first attempts were very creative and I’m not expecting mine to go that well, but I really want to try and try again.

Fantastic video, so very enjoyable!!

HUH!! I have been doing that for years! Didn't realize it has been given an offical name. Just knew I was moving the camera - or me. My favourite things to shoot this way are driving by homes with Christmas lights or night scenes especially with neon lights or driving on roads and holding the camera on the window and just continuously shooting.

For Christmas lights, I usually keep the shutter on open until I release it. I use a point and shoot.

It's more painting than photography really, interesting stuff. BW's level of enthusiasm really comes across, I feel it's what missing in 99% of photography content these days. Great vid thanks.

It's definitely a fun thing to do. It's not something I do a lot, but when I remember to, it's fun experimenting. My friends fishtank was the most recent subject 🙂 But why have I never thought of the beach at sunset for ICM?! Thanks for that.
