Lens wacking, free lensing, and light leaks

Lens wacking, free lensing, or the detached lens effect and light leaks have been well-covered lately. Over on PVC, there's a new mini-roundup of some resources for creating your own, downloading free or stock footage, and using the effect.

The picture is from Freelensing by Luke Roberts, which illustrated the basics in 2009.
