Magic Lantern And Free Lensing Using Focus Peaking

What is free lensing? Put simply: a way to replicate the tilt-shift look without using a tilt shift lens. Basically, you detach the lens from the body, hold it out and tilt the lens up or down or left or right, get focus and snap the picture. This is feasible if your camera features focus peaking. Canon’s do not but the firmware add-on Magic Lantern does. Magic Lantern is something each serious Canon shooter should consider to install on hers or his DSLR (click here to see which Canon DSLRs are supported). Be aware not to drop your precious lens while doing free lensing :-)

The video below is a free lensing introduction and tutorial.
