take your camera, remove the lens and put it on backwards. you have to hold the lens there (or buy an adapter) which sucks, but the results are pretty nuts and free. heres a ballpoint pen (not mine)

I've been trying to do this with my 300mm but the aperture closes when I take it of the camera to like f8 so it's too dark to see through. I can't tell if you'll get usable stuff with it because of that.

Yeah but I thought everybody knew that.
