Frank, I wish the lens is of a retro focus type and the focal point is still outside the lens.  A 25mm lens put on a camera whose flange back is 46.5mm is already a significant extension.  You might have to reverse-mount the lens in order to be able to focus something in the first place.

Thank you Akira. I just dive into the topic. Might be some mistakes made first....

Gorgeous, moody, well defined, great color scape, nearly duo chrome.

I like the stained glass impression of the background, which appears like been seen through patterned glas.

Again, Nikkor-O 55/1.2, possibly at f2.0 or 2.8 on D7000.

The Biotar works. I just held it in front of the bayonet because I do not have the right diameter of reverse mount yet.

These are all at f=2. With proper mount and tripod I dare to close the aperture more:

Duh, of course with such close object distance ;-)
At 1:1 the image circle is double of the one at infinity...

Typical lens for "painting with light", very bubbly bokeh, even swirly BG.

Good for you, Frank!

By the way, the "technique" you used seems to be called "Lens Whacking".  :D
