This will allow you to adjust the shutter speed manually while free lensing.

#ONINE TILTSHIFT MANUAL#

In order to create a beautifully exposed free lens photograph, you will need to have the camera in manual mode. Once you've got the focus you're after, snap the shutter button!Įxperiment with your camera to figure out how adjusting the lens angle and focus ring affects your final photograph! As you look through the viewfinder, you will notice your subject becoming more or less in focus as you rotate the focus ring. Once you've got the angle you are satisfied with, you can adjust the specific focal point by moving the focus ring on the lens. The further you pull the lens away from the camera body, the more distortion. The less you pull the lens away from the camera, the less distortion or tilt-shift effect will result. Usually, when free lensing, I will first pull the lens only slightly away from the camera body. Manually rotate the focus ring on the lens using your pointer finger.Move the lens to the left or right, up or down, and away from the camera body.There are two steps to adjusting the focus: This is where your pointer finger rests, as seen in the previous step, 'Mastering the Juggling Act'. Once in MF mode, you will be able to rotate the focus ring on the tip of the camera lens. There is usually a little notch on the side of the lens that you can switch to adjust the focus mode. In order to adjust the focus while free lensing, you will need to make sure that your camera lens is switched from AF (Auto Focus) to MF (Manual Focus). Either can be used, of course, but I do have a preference for my 'nifty fifty' lens!

I find that using a smaller lens for free lensing (the 50mm, for instance) is a lot easier because it's easier to reach the focus ring on the lens.

Snap away using your right pointer finger! If your photo's exposure needs adjusting, feel free to change the shutter speed or ISO (see 'Step 5: Creating the Perfect Exposure').įeel free to watch the video of me in action so you can see how I juggle everything at once! Notice that there are two different camera and lens combinations in the video: a Canon EOS 5D paired with a 1.8, 50mm EF lens and a Canon EOS Rebel XSI paired with the 18-55mm EF kit lens.You can now adjust the angle of the lens and manually focus the photo using your left hand (see 'Step 4: Nailing the Focus').Place the camera body up to your torso for support while you gently remove the lens be careful not to drop it!.Your right hand should hold onto the camera body, making sure to put your pointer finger near the shutter button so you're ready to snap that photo.See the photo to view exactly where your fingers go under the lens. Your thumb and middle finger will be used to angle the lens. Place your left hand under the lens, making sure to put your pointer finger on the focus ring.You might also want to have your neck strap around your neck, just so you don't drop the camera body while manipulating the lens.For now, go ahead and connect the lens to the camera body. Then, you can simply rotate the lens to take it out. There should be a button near the lens mount that you can press.

Be sure you know how to take your lens off.

Best of luck-I sure hope you know how to juggle several things at once! :)

Now that you know what free lensing is, here's your chance to dive right in! So, grab your camera and lens and try out these steps.

Creates beautiful bokeh when shooting lights in the background (such as Christmas lights).

Allows a regular kit lens (which usually has a limited f-stop of F5, or so) to have a much smaller F-stop (similar to a 1.8 or 1.4 Prime lens).

Allows the photographer to manually draw the focus to the subject while creating an extremely blurred background.

The focus of your photo will be thrown out of whack, producing a beautifully unique depth of field.

Creates intriguing natural vignettes on the sides of the photo.

Separating the lens from the camera body lets in natural light leaks which adds an organic, antique, or dreamy look to your photos.

It's FREE! It takes what you already own and allows you to create beautiful tilt shift images!.

This technique, while a bit difficult to master at first, can help you create artistic shots without the need of an expensive tilt shift lens. Free Lensing refers to the fact that your lens will not be attached to the camera body instead, to accomplish the tilt shift effect, you will actually hold your lens slightly away from the camera body and tilt it side to side.
