![]() ![]() If the picture of this man was taken with a regular lens properly mounted onto the camera body, his face would all be in focus because it is on the same plane but because of the freelensing process, only half of his face and some of his body is in focus.įreelensing is by nature a trial and error process. The photo below is a good example of a skewed focus plane. Instead it is bent, depending on the amount of angle of lens tilt you are utilizing. When you are freelensing, the in focus area is no longer neatly arranged. For example, in the dog photograph below, if you follow the picture from left to right, it’s easy to see that everything on the same plane as the dog’s face is in focus while the rest of the photo is out of focus. This is especially evident when you have a picture shot at a large aperture stop like f/1.8 where the percentage of the photograph actually in focus is very small. What that means is the depth of focus runs linearly across your photograph. ![]() When your lens is properly attached to your camera body the depth of focus runs parallel to your camera. Instead of purchasing a tilt-shift lens, you can use your current lenses instead of actually mounting the lens to the camera, it is handheld in front of the sensor, usually at an angle to skew the focus plane. In reality it’s a technique used by adventurous photographers to achieve results that are sometimes similar to those created with a tilt-shift lens. The Basicsįreelensing, sometimes referred to as the poor man’s tilt shift lens, isn’t actually a lens.
