The challenge this time is Tilt Shift..... however I do not own a tilt shift lens or a lensbaby, and I want to try something in-camera. After googling ideas, I came across a technique I had never heard of and honestly would not have thought would work. It's called free-lensing.
Literally free-lensing means detaching your lens, and holding it near the camera body. You can slightly tilt &/or shift the lens relative to the camera to alter the plane of focus. I was amazed at the outcomes. Getting the focus is difficult, especially when your point of focus is far (like mine was). Macro seems a bit easier to master as you can just gets closer to the image (I didn't feel like jumping off my balcony). Moving objects (i.e. my cats) were impossible to photograph with this technique at my current skill level. The light leaks were actually visually appealing and depending on the degree of tilt the bokeh that filled the image was lovely. The sharpness of the focal point was hard to achieve, but that may be my technique.
The hardest part is getting over the fear of dropping the lens (in this case off my 28th floor balcony)..... Note that I did not pull an accident like one of our beloved accident-prone Flickr stars (I won't name names, he knows who he is!! lol).
Moral of the story.... if you are brave enough to death grip your lens, are away from significant dust/dirt/water/etc that could damage your camera/lens, and want to try a fun new technique I recommend giving it a try!

PS. Almost broke my neck taking this shot!
Le mauvais temps.... jamais personne ne capte la lumière du mauvais temps.
Certaines ambiances sont si dramatiques parfois....
Objects in photo are smaller than they appear! My little 4" long cast iron wagon with acorns looks a lot bigger from this perspective!
Well, that didn't quite work the way I planned. I was putting my lens cap beside the spider for perspective and it climbed right up!
This looks a bit like the bee hunting crab spiders I see in the garden. I wonder if they are related. This one was on a dish towel, in the house. I 'escorted' it outside where it posed for a few shots before carrying on its way.
Sometimes it's just our perspective. We've been in Denmark for two weeks...in the middle of looking for a house/flat and it can seem overwhelming. So just a reminder...it's just our perspective.
The spacial relationship between objects in a photograph is perspective. Use perspective as our point of view In order to create a sense of dimension
Again this fall we traveled to the Alps to admire the beautiful fall colors of the larch trees in dramatic mountain landscapes.
At lower altitudes the larches were still yellow-green, but above 1,800 meters they were already turning a beautiful yellow-orange.
Bee-eaters (Merops apiaster) photographed from the lowest opening in the camouflage hide in Greece.
Check out the difference from the photo of them from a higher perspective in the links below the line, and how much more interesting the lowest ones are!
