I wrote some extra freelensing tips here collected from the freelensing Flickr group. I think the key is to set the focus at infinity and just very slowly tilt the lens until you see the object come in to focus. If you are still having trouble, maybe try asking on the Flickr group where there are a lot of other Nikon freelensers.

I tried this technique earlier too. I am using this technique with a 50mm on nikon D90. Somehow its difficult to achieve focus. Any tips to achieve better focus ?

Weird request: I’m a graphic designer, and helping the Capture camera clip system guys with their new product. We’re working on the packaging and could really use a vector illustration of the top of an SLR. Just like the one you’re using for your Freelensing illustration above. Would you mind sharing? Perhaps a barter?

[...] The last possibility for creating tilt-shift Photo Effects is called Free Lensing. The bacis idea is that you detach your lens from the body and then slightly move it to one side and focus. So you’ll get a kind of tilt-shift effect and it is also possible to get some lightstreaks or a vintage effect on your pictures. The dangerous thing is that you probably get dirt, dust and humidity into your cam that could damamge it (which is not very desirable). That’s why I’d recommend to try this either with an old camera or just use this technique indoors where the risk of ruining your cam seems a littl more controllable If you want to read more about this topic here is a tutorial about Free Lensing.
