The Free 52 Project is a personal project where each month we share our freelensed work. Freelensing is a technique that manipulates the focal plane by photographing with the lens detached from the camera body and subtly adjusting/tilting the lens while detached. To follow along, please click the link at the end of this post for the next artist. This month, the next artist is April Christopher.
This month I am sharing images from our spring break trip to Florida. This trip I almost exclusively freelensed, and what a challenge! I packed only my sony a7R II and my canon 50mm 1.4. While I often wanted a wider angle, this is by far my lightest combo to carry around!
First up, a trip through The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Universal Studios. In Diagon Alley, we got all the essentials – robes, wands, and pygme puffs. We jumped on the Hogwarts Express, more than once, and practiced our wand skills everywhere. I love the dream like effect of freelensing … I imagine my girls looking back thinking, ‘where we really there or was it all just a wonderful dream’.
And a few from Cabana Bay Resort where we stayed
Off to Tampa and a day at Busch Gardens
Clearwater beach. If only we could have stayed for two weeks!
Thanks for stopping by! Please continue along with April Christopher Photo + Art!
