[...] took these today with my Nikon D90 and 50mm 1.8/f lens. I was freelensing with the lens held the wrong way round to get the macro ability. No retouching, just some minor [...]

The light leaks in freelensing occur because light is coming in from the small gap between the lens and the camera.

Enzain khalna min hatha, how come it produce a so called “light leak” effect when you’re using a digital camera with a sensor w no film inside? Last time I checked light leak meant the over exposed areas from some unwanted light leaking through the cameras body and spoiling some parts of the film.

I know, because there is no lens in front of the camera u get an aperture of 0, thats one of the advantages to free lensing.

Or maybe the only reason you got zero aperture is because the lens wasn’t attached to the camera and that’s why the Exif data reads f/0.0!

Well keep in mind shooting with the lens detached from your camera might result in dust getting in so you need to keep a blower hand just in case that happens. I am freelensing with my Nikon D70 but don’t think I would freelens with my D90.

Ah…
I will try it out some time.

Bu Yousef we both posted at the same time so you missed what I just wrote. Basically there is no way to achieve an aperture of 0 with a lens.

Nice idea… but I think controlling through the aperture achieves the same as mentioned in comment 4.

TheGirlWithKaleidoscopeEyes: Actually thats not true. The widest aperture lens you can get is like f/1.0 and costs around KD2,000. With freelensing we are talking about an aperture of f/0.0! Now the tilt shift effect you also can’t get that unless you buy a tilt shift lens and that costs like KD350. The light leaks? There is no lens I know of that will produce that effect.
