A new found photographic technique

The next few photos of Phoebe were taken with slide film in a 35mm slr camera then scanned into my computer. The lens is a standard 50mm lens. There is no post production in any of these photos. All of the blur effects were done in camera. The technique involves removing the lens from the camera body itself and tilting the lens in any direction in a close proximity to the camera body. For the desired effect I use the lens's aperture setting 1.8. The end result is a fairly controlled blur effect at any given point within the frame--not far from the results you might expect from a lensbaby. At any rate, enjoy the somewhat uncharacteristic photos of Phoebe.
