New Obsession: Water Marbled Nails
Now, I've never been much of a girly-girl. I'm the type of lady who is more likely to punch you in the face than to braid your hair. Maybe working at a fashion magazine has rubbed off on me, or maybe this is just transcendently cool.
I'm not sure how/why I stumbled upon this on Youtube while half asleep, but I am obsessed! This is totally my long weekend arts n crafts project.
This is my fav, because it looks like the solar system.

Freelensing -- The Poor Man's Tilt/Shift/Swing
Have you heard of freelensing? No, I'm not talking about that euphemism your mother used when you were unemployed for a spell.
"Freelensing means you take photos 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... You only need to move the lens a few millimetres (fractions of an inch), and doing it this way, there’s not much risk of dust getting in to the sensor. If you want lightleaks or the super-macro kind of effect, you will need to hold the lens a little bit further away (probably no more than a finger width, though)."
Well, it's certainly cheaper and easier on your biceps than a view camera!
Apparently this is a whole big trope on Flickr. Want some examples?
