Morag Perkins<p>Quick PSA on the <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Freelensing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Freelensing</span></a> thing since it’s come up a couple of times today:</p><p>Be aware that if you try this with a digital camera there is a risk of getting dust on your sensor and causing damage, so be careful and don’t try it with a camera that is too precious! </p><p>I’m using film so it’s not an issue.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a></p>
Morag Perkins<p>OK, so, freelensing is pretty much what it sounds like - it involves detaching the lens and holding it in front of the camera, making subtle adjustments to the angle and position until you get a pleasing result.</p><p>It tends to give soft dreamy results, with just the odd detail coming through sharp. Works best in a scene like this where focus doesn't matter that much!</p><p>--</p><p>Redeye Redscale film<br>Canon EOS 300 &amp; Pentacon 50mm f1.8, freelensing </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/BelieveInFiIm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BelieveInFiIm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Redscale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Redscale</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Freelensing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Freelensing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a></p>
Morag Perkins<p>So first up, the colours! </p><p>This is redscale film, which is really just ordinary colour film which has been loaded backwards.</p><p>That means that the light hits the colour layers of the film in reverse order, passing through the red layer first instead of last. It acts a bit like a deep orange filter and you get these otherworldly warm tones.</p><p>--</p><p>Redeye Redscale film<br>Canon EOS 300 &amp; Pentacon 50mm f1.8, freelensing </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/BelieveInFiIm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BelieveInFiIm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Redscale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Redscale</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Freelensing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Freelensing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a></p>
