[QUOTE="Will V|Photography, post: 44572, member: 7177"] LOL, I thought the same thing. It's actually kind of easy and real fun once you get the hang of it. Essentially what Marcel said. "Freelensing" is when you're shooting with the lens off the camera. This can be done with the lens pointing the correct way, and then you tilt the lens left/right/up/down which will give you a tilt/shift-like image. If you turn the lens around you can achieve macro shots without a macro lens. The shorter the lens focal length the more magnification you get, and the focus point is SUPER close. With AF-S lenses you have to use like blu-tac putty or a broken up toothpick to hold the aperture open, then you adjust ISO and SS to get proper exposure.
