PMAE No. 242

This is my first attempt at Free Lensing. I am using my Sony A6000 and a old, very old 50mm 1.4 Rokkor-X lens that was given to me with a Minolta SR T200. I am planning on using this camera soon.

This is for the Dogwood Challenge- "Wildcard Photographers Choice - Capture an image on your terms; who,what,where,when,shy,how...it's all you to you. Caveat: You must tell us your intent." I am hoping to try several different lenses with this technique this week for the challenge.

Also, I am off on a mini vacay back in a couple of days
Wow! You have done so well! A great shot. Enjoy your vacation.

This is far too dreamy. It needs bacon. Or a fav.

Neat capture

Enjoy your break.

Enjoy the vacation. This is great for the Dogwood this week. I have a Sony a6000 but no idea how to use lenses other than those I bought with it.

@quietpurplehaze I use adapters, I'm cheap so I have the manual ones but, they do make auto focus adapters. Just google name of lens to Sony A6000 and see what they have. This might help too - ( https://www.popphoto.com/how-to/2013/02/lens-adapters-introductory-guide ) Although with free lensing, no adapter is needed so play and have fun.

@graemestevens Old lenses like people have to good for something. Truly grateful for the fav.

@ziggy77 Thank you so kindly for the fav. My husband thought that I was nuts but then he knows to not ask questions at times- just smiles and walks away.:):)

@megpicatilly You are so very kind, thank you. We are going to escape the snow (yes it is going to snow in May { :(:(:( }and explore some Arizona ghost towns down where no snow can reach us- I hope.

@joysabin

Thank you so much for this. On first look I think I am too lazy. I like autofocus etc. Will investigate!

@kali66 Truly grateful for the fav. Thank you so very much.
@taffy Thank you s great deal. Old lenses are amazing.
@domenicododaro You are so kind, thank you very much for the fav. I like this technique but had a tough time focusing at first, either I move the lens or the camera and had to try again.

Very creative result. Have fun on your vacation.

Whatever you did, it worked very well, this is a lovely soft, dreamy image.
May 1st, 2018  
Wow. Love this, it has a dream world like quality to it with the colours and focus.

This is so beautiful and dreamy. I really must try this when I get home.
May 1st, 2018  
Oh this turned out great, I tried free lensing, so hard, well done you got a great result.
May 2nd, 2018  
Turned out nice! I wouldn't risk exposing my camera's sensor like that!

Very appealing and dreamy.

This is absolutely beautiful!

@mbrutus Thank you so much,
@golftragic Playing with a lens not attached to my camera was fun-a bit frustrating but mostly fun.
@ehamil1013 I was really rather amazed at the clarity too, the softness is a real bonus too.
@thistle Very appreciate of the fav, thank you kindly..
@deborah63 I hope to see your shots doing this, it is just fun to get an image but the softness is very much like a lensbaby. Thank you so kindly for the fav.
@stephanies Thank you so very much for the fav. I liked using this old lens, it is f1.4 and I think that made a big difference.
@yrhenwr Thank you, I see your point but I didn't shot directly into the sun so I think things should be okay.
@jernst1779 Thank you so much, reminds me of the lensbaby.
@ukandie1 Truly appreciative, thank you kindly.
