Running free again

Posting late because I wanted to let it get dark enough to use a flame. Having fun with this technique. Freelensing

I had to stop and read up on freelensing - I really like what you've done with these. You sure picked up the "how to" awfully easily. Wonderful colors and lighting - and of course, the focus. Fav

@egoodine Free-lensing is a fun technique to try if you have a camera with a removable lens! It's a method of shooting with your lens detached from the camera- but still held very closely. Holding your lens up to the camera (instead of attaching it) allows you to create a tilt-shift effect in your photos. see more here... http://abeautifulmess.com/2012/04/free-lensing-photography-tutorial.html

Well done, I have free lensing for my get pushed challenge this week, I am finding it quite tricky!

@stephanies For me it worked best with my prime lens which was from an old film camera so I could adjust the f stop manually. But there are some tutorials that talk about how to get electronic lens to hold their setting. An so far I can only make it work on something close up.
