Freelensing

I was watching a video on You Tube of this guy freelensing and surprised with this method of taking photos.  Isn't this kind of dangerous with regards to dust getting into your camera?  Seems like a big gamble if you ask me.  Reminds of those photographers from a couple years ago who were tossing their cameras in the air and taking photos.

Yes, it opens the body to dust. My advice is don't freelens AND toss at the same time.......;)

Why so serious?

Who thinks of these things?  As photographers we are taught to quickly swap out our lenses in the field to prevent dust from getting in.  And this?  Someone ate some hard core paint chips when they were young.  lol

Silly if you as me.  This is why camera manufactures need to be so stringent on warranties, it's because there are people out there doing stuff like this!

This is just asking for spots on your photos from sensor dust

Doesn't this give you the same effect as a Lensbaby would?
