Spiraling, spinning, loosing controlHold on Hold tightDon't let goYou're inside outYou're upside downYou're free to be confusedLoosen up just enoughHold tight just enoughTo know when to changeTo see this is not as good as it gets And be free to enjoy that truthI wanted to create a feeling of hurried, yet somewhat dreamlike and fluid and I though doing freelensing would help accomplish that feeling.This shot was done using my 50mm Nikon lens, My Nikon D800, My Monfrotto tripod and natural light coming through a window.I am standing against the wall on the landing of our upstairs staircase.I had my camera on my staircase and to achieve the freelensing I actually used duct tape wrapped around the outer edge of my lens (almost like a noose) to hold it in place. (unless you are extremely confident in placement and security of your equipment I would not recommend this strategy! :D) I have a Nikon, which means I have prop the aperture open, I personally use a portion of a Capri sun straw, cut short enough so it doesn't get in the way or the shutter and then cut lengthwise, so it can slide securely over the aperture catch. I shot these first to get the freelensed images I wanted then in camera I combined the two that I liked.
