Freelensing
I’ve been trying a technique called ‘freelensing’. Freelensing is when you remove the lens from your camera and hold it in front, moving and tilting the entire lens to focus. You can get some really cool depth of field and tilt shift effects. Anyway, here are a few of my attempts:
The technique is explained in more detail here: http://lukeroberts.us/2009/12/freelensing/. The freelensing group on flickr has some great work too: http://www.flickr.com/groups/freelensing/.
Try it out!
