TankRed: may I ask if using hand holding a lens on an attached lens is allowed (reverse lens macro technique) (1 year and 305 days ago)
itsmymoment: I would think not TankRed, the idea is to have the lens completely removed from the camera. that would be an entirely different technique. (1 year and 305 days ago)
Contest Moderator: The entire idea of free lensing is to have your lens detached, any photos taken with the lens attached to the camera will be removed. (1 year and 304 days ago)
happyme27: competition says I can upload 500 entries--thanks for the offer...but uh, that doesn´t seem quite right (1 year and 304 days ago)
k5683: I can't seem to get this! wow it is harder than it looks. Somehow when I tilt the lens, I get a black circle showing 
Guess I'll have to research more. (1 year and 302 days ago)
Guess I'll have to research more. (1 year and 302 days ago) locksmagic: Kellie, it depends on what lens your trying to use but your probably tilting it too far. (1 year and 301 days ago)
k5683: thanks. I tried both my 18-55 mm and my 200mm. When I put it in front of the camera, it didn't seem to make any difference at all, even when I tilted it ever so slightly. Oh well, I don't see myself doing this anyway so I really don't need the practice I guess. (1 year and 300 days ago)

great image -- not sure i would get something this nice with the lenas attached -- like the overall effect not sure it is light leaking or just the softness of the focus Reply »
