Just did a blogpost with text that I would like to tell you before showing my photography but too lazy so here's the copy and paste:

Free Lensing:
It sounds like an extreme sport or some sort of freelancing but it's what I've been talking about for the last two posts (not counting the concert journal);

Photos taken with the lens detached from the camera but held in place and moved around to focus. This also lets extra light in sometimes causing light leaks and giving a vintage look and feel.

Also:
* Gives extra bokeh by shrinking the area in focus (apeture is 0)
* Allows for super macro shots
* Delicious light leaks
* Tilt-shift effects

Since the last time I spoke to you about this I've actually been able to master, well not really master but figure it out. So I was able to shoot some tilted plane photos without needing the use of photoshop. In the next few days I'll try to really master it, but I'll probably need a better lens to do that anyways. Here are the first, real manual tilting results from yours truly:

A friend of a friend has started her own business as a makeup artist. She needed some shots done for her website and since I've only just started my own business we thought we could help each others portfolio's out by doing a shoot. My main focus is going to be on babies/kids to start with so this first job made me a bit nervous but thought I'd give it a go anyway. I never thought I'd be taking glamour shots!

Equipment used;
Canon 40D
Sigma 24-70 F2.8 lens
Off camera Speedlight 430ex ii
Shoot through umbrella

I've edited 5 shots to show the client and she loved them (woohoo!). The processing involved some tips I got from a workshop which deals with a lot of glamour shots so I just applied what I learned to these. I don't have a fancy monitor so I've no idea if these will look ok to others but I'm pretty happy with the result.
