    nickgerber: Free Lensing is when you take an SLR, remove the lens, hold it over the mount and tilt it up and down, etc to get a tilt shift effect. The neat thing about using this technique is that if you flip the lens so it’s backwards it turns into a macro lens with a super dreamy look to it. So, if you’ve got a basic 35mm or 50mm you’ve also got a tilt shift and a macro lens.  Again, what I love about photography is that I think I’ll never know everything about it. Learning is cool!
