Now that is brilliant. Do you mind if I ask what device you used to take it?

Found this Canon AE-1 at my mom's house. Any recommendation on film for portrait shoots? Is it worth the extra money for Portra or Ektar film?
Just in case... camera was not Photoshop'd into the picture. Camera was shot with this backdrop while mounted on lighting stand. I just masked the stand out of the picture with Photoshop.

I should have known, Nikon is fantastic IMO... but I just need to get a real camera, lol.

Smart man , he's got all the Leica boxes hidden behind the cheap stuff so the wife won't see ...
Almost ready to open up into a beautiful flower:

Still not very good at freelensing, but at least the daffodils are blooming.
Flower at Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta, GA.
What is "freelensing"? That's a term (or technique?) unfamiliar to me. Sorry if this sounds rude, but is the entire subject meant to be OOF?

Freelensing is when the lens is off camera. You can get light leaks and other interesting effects. You do typically get more blur because you can angle the lens away from the sensor.
I’m not particularly good at it, and the lens I was using today (Lensbaby Velvet 56) is a blurry/glowy lens even when attached. The yellow of this image makes it harder to see, but the pointy tip of the daff in the middle actually is sharp. But monochrome and web resized, etc., make it seem OOF. I had better luck when I used my 85mm since it’s not a specialty lens and sharper throughout.

Ah, thanks for the explanation, Molly! This must be a fairly new technique -- first I've heard of it, anyway. Interesting idea..... Yeah, I would think that if it is likely that the subject, or at least some of it, is going to be blurred by using this kind of process, then it might be better to use a normal lens with it as opposed to a specialty lens which already creates blur anyway, so that at least it is more readily apparent to the viewer that at least something is in focus. I did see that the pointy tip of the daffodil is indeed in focus, but just a tiny bit of it....easy to miss! Of course it all depends, too, on the artist's intention when creating the image....
Somewhere in the other room in a bag or drawer I've got a Lensbaby that I bought some years ago -- don't recall the name of it now -- and tried a few times but never had much success with it and didn't care for the results so finally just stuck it away.

All of you have such amazing talent and a great eye for photography and color. I need to get a real camera instead of just using my iPhone XS Max. Lol
