Lead Shot
With the deadline for this challenge just a few hours forth I determine to try out this whole “ freelensing ” thing . I tried it on random stuff I had around my apartment but ultimate end up in front of my bathroom mirror . I had a few painting with some interesting inflammation but I end up like this one the dependable . Sony NEX-5 with an 18 - 55 mm kit lens of the eye ( 1/25 sec / ISO 800 ) .

Pumpkins
I visited a corn tangle this past weekend and was use up word picture of all sort of things and experiment with freelensing , but these small autumn pumpkin catch my eye and ended up being my good shot . Shot with a Canon T1i , 50 mm f/1.8 , ISO 100 .

Toothbrush Villi
I had done some free - lensing in the past , so I was excited when this challenge popped up . I commence this shot by taking an old 18 - 55 electron lens and guard backwards in front of a soup-strainer . By holding it rearwards , ( by the path you may do this with any genus Lens ) you get these insane macro shots . The lower the millimetre of the electron lens , the close you could get .
There s a pretty nerveless template to hacking one of these lenses so that it can be bond to an EF / S body with full electronic use . ( minus AF ) It looks pretty simple and I plan on giving it a shooting sometime since these lense are about 50 bucks used . 7D , 18 - 55 ( detached , backward ) , ISO 1600 , 1/40 shutter

3D Conversion
For this guesswork I simply rig up a 500watt halogen work light facing this canvas print of a forest and a falls . From there it was just a matter for getting my lens in the ripe positioning to add depth to this flat surface . Canon 7D , Canon 50 mm f/1.4 , ISO : 640 , f/0

Burj Khalifa
I am currently work in Dubai and had the opportunity to chew the fat the patio on the 112th floor of the Burj Khalifa , snap this while up there … holding my lens very tightly for fear i might drop it a few thousand feet . 5D MKII , 24 - 70 millimetre L at or so 50 mm , ISO : 100 , Shutter : 1/1000

Mr. T Needs Oil
Never knew of this technique until i regard the challenge , so i grabbed an old spare television camera ( like hell am i getting rubble in the canon ! ) and started experimenting . I was really pleased with the outcome and this was one of my favs , it was accomplished by overthrow the lens for the macro instruction and shining a potent torch on the subject . Which in this compositor’s case was one of my necklace =D Now just waiting for a sunny day to go bug hunting ! Olympus E-410 , 40 - 150 mm , ISO 100 , Flash off , the rest was auto

Fall Fell
Top on my want list is the Canon TS - E 17 mm f/4L lens , so it follows that my preferent thing about freelensing is the selective focal point possible by manually tilting your lens . In this typeface , I tilted my lens system down a bit and blew this wan tree into beautiful bokeh , while capturing the detritus on the ground below in kinky focus . I have fuss saying much beyond that , I imagine this photo talk for itself . Shot with a Canon 5d2 at ISO 200 and 1/500th , with a Canon 50 mm f/1.4 prime at f13 . ( Remember , theFall Leaves Part II Challengeis still going . Anything you ’ve shot all autumn counts ! )

Flowers
I was driving to my hometown and during the drive I see some cows hanging out in the field . I stop to take some pictures of the scene and when I see down I saw these little flowers , I tell my - self “ This is a perfect time to try freelensing ! ” So I did , it was a lot harder that I think it would be . You have to move closer and further to focus on the subject and it is out of the question to expend your photometer . So I did several tests before getting the lighting that I wanted without blur the photograph because I was moving . It was hard to bear still because car were move really fast on the route next to me . They honked at me , in all likelihood asking themselves “ what is that guy doing scrunch up next to the main road holding his television camera like a crazy person ? ” Well I was freelensing ! So here ’s my first attempt at macro instruction - freelensing . I processed the painting using picasa ( v3 ) and photoshop for resolution . Nikon D40x equip with a Nikkor 18 - 55 millimetre . ISO : 242 , 1/320 , Aperture : Impossible to ascertain

Chili Weather
This is my first and last chili harvest of the class , a mixing of Habanero ’s , Scotchbonnets , Thai Hot and Fatalli ’s . I had just pick them and set them on the windowsill and it was a beautiful subject area , especially for the great theme of this week ’s challenge . So many colours and shapes , so it was great to judge it out . hold the lens a little by from the body and tilted it left . Nikon D90 , Nikor 50 mm 1.8 , 1/60 sec ISO 320

The Quintessential Eye
Ok , here ’s my first shot contest entry , had pile of playfulness with it . I had my lady friend tolerate in aside from a bright studio spark and obtain this pic after about 200 shots from a very small length ( after eliminating light leaks by having a piece of black fabric draped over my headspring like a 19th one C photographer ) . I had experiment with freelensing for a few days , but I would not have thought I ’d get such a sharp and fragment - less picture . The photo is taken with a Canon 7D ( iso 640 , 1/60s ) , with a 40 twelvemonth erstwhile minolta mc 58 mm 1.4 lense agree in front of it . The crystalline lens was ill-treat down to 2.8 , to get at least a few millimetre of sharpness in the picture . The pic was photoshopped to deoxidize interference and dramatize the demarcation and colors , but nothing more .

Texture, Color, Rot
I was hiking the self-aggrandising cliff in townspeople when I noticed it was about to get dark very quickly , so I began making my way back down the hill when I see a raw background on mini “ trees ” . I remember it was my chance to assay the innocent lensing challenge , so I direct a few shots and got caught up in it . serve it to say I had to walk back down the hill in the dark . Canon EOS 550D , EF 85 mm f/1.8 USM , ISO 1250 , Shutter Speed 1/80

WINNER – ‘The Fighter’
( It ’s OK Everyone , The Chick Lived )
I would never have anticipated this would have become my subject area for this challenge , but his child chick hatched just in time for it – even though it was born a day later than the other chicks and was abandoned and forgotten by the hen . The only reason it was n’t thrown out was because it was peeping aloud from inside its shell . Once warmed up , the chick was finally able to push out from the shell while I documented the whole thing . Of all the other shots I took , this one turned out to be my favorite . Contextually , I care how this guess really encompass the entire experience of struggling to survive and the exhaustion felt in the moments of repose after succeeding . Visually , I wish how the centering from angle the crystalline lens falls diagonally right on on the straits , annex , and human foot – while the fountainhead and body of the chick lie in a horizontal line that ends with the out of focussing remains of the egg racing shell in the desktop . Canon Rebel XSi , Canon EF 50 mm f/2.5 Macro Lens ISO 100 , Shutter Speed 1/500

So many unbelievable entries this week ! There was a act of criticism when this challengewas announcedthat “ freelensing ” was n’t a valid proficiency . For the naysayers still in the hearing , fine , call it a machine politician if you prefer . But I think Gizmodo photographer have proven that freelensing has authentic potential in one ’s aesthetic armory . Full galleries below . Wallpaper sizeson flickr .

Now that you ’ve mastered the art of freelensing , come up use it some more on my siteLife , Panoramic . Did that little ballyhoo come off as an order of magnitude ? Good .
