For several days now, my experiments with the "free lensing" shooting technology have been going on. Let me remind you that in order to use this technology, you need to detach the lens from the camera body. In this case, the lens can be moved to the sides and tilted. In addition, you can use the light that enters the gap between the lens and the camera.
All this gives rise to a variety of effects that can be used to create artistic photography. Now I'm at the stage of experiments with the creation of the effects themselves. It is important for me to understand how you can get them at the right time, what conditions must be met for this.
This series is dedicated to the effects of lens tilt on the optical axis of the camera.
By detaching the lens from the camera, you get only manual control of its settings. In this case, you need to hold the camera with one hand, the lens is in the other hand and there is not enough third hand to control the focus settings (this is at least). If your subject is in motion...
However, sometimes it almost succeeds. Unfortunately, I didn't have a tripod with me. In some cases, he could free one hand.
Minimalist abstract...
Tilting the lens axis causes the zone of sharpness to become a slanted strip, depending on which way you shifted the axis. This can be used to create perspective. On the open spaces of the beach, this is not very noticeable. I will try these effects in the forest. I need a clearing or a forest road. I think that there you can get a more pronounced effect.
Here you can see that the foreground fell into the zone of relative sharpness and the sharpness band goes into the distance and slightly to the right. You can clearly see the tree centered between the two piles of beach debris.
I think that this effect can be useful in subject photography when you need to highlight individual elements.
I have to take a lot of test shots to come to concrete practical conclusions.
While the conclusion is only one - I'm interested.
