This certainly is on the experimental side of things: Freelensing! How does it work? Take an (preferably cheap) prime lens off your camera, tear it apart, and freely hold it in front of your camera with one hand while shooting with your other hand. Why would you do that? Well, you can get some interesting effects with it, most notably the shifting of the focus plane. But see for yourself:
These are a pick from my first try and I think they show the potential, even though they are certainly not perfect. I will go out and try again once I have some time to spare. It's a fun thing to do, for sure!
P.S.: In case you wonder: the lens is an old 50mm Olympus which was provided to me by friend, already with the mounting ring taken off. Thanks, Andreas!
