Freelensing

[warning: rather technical photography post]

Freelensing is a technique whereby you take pictures with the lens detached from the body. Yes, wind, dust, cats and dogs might enter you camera body and eat up your sensor but well, just make sure your not in a sandstorm while doing it.

The plus side: Super f0 aperture bokeh, tilt-shift effect, lensbaby effect, macro effect and light leaks.

The minus side: Manual mode only, super hard to focus, needs high iso to counter shaky hands and risk of dirtying sensor.

Here ya go, first collection of freelensing by yours truly. No subject in particular, but just recent life happenings.
Note: No photoshop colour correcting whatsoever. What you see is what you get, oh except I did sharpened the pictures a tad bit, I don't have robot steady hands.


Hmm, yeah dehydrated cactuses.


Fabulous purple light leak on top right corner + macro capabilities.


Very delicious f0 aperture.


6 down, 4 to go. 4 challenging ones.


Yes, she dropped by to sleep.


He too dropped by to supposedly learn accounts, but I slept.


and he dropped by after pasar malam.

Okay, I cheated on the last one, I converted it to black and white because I ruined the white balance settings, having to handle shutter speed, iso, white balance, lens on left hand and body on right had is no easy job. Sometimes, I thank myself for not getting myself a huge six thousand dollar camera with a ten thousand dollar lens. 500D+50mm booyah!

Ketchup later.
