I have played around with that technique of simply holding a lens to the camera using an old projector lens. I used a extension tube mounted on the camera rather than risk hitting anything sensitive inside the mount. Its good fun to experiment with tilting and shifting and of course letting light leaks in.
Few examples

Exactly what I was going for. This one is actually 2 exposures, first one I got the planet shape and the second was more of a general blurry cloud that I layered on top for the effect I wanted. Used coloured flash gels to get the blue and green.

No video for now but maybe I can do a proper how to now that I have a better feel for it, I fear it isn't really that exciting or structured though. More of a random process, come to think of it a lot of my photography is quite random in approach, very little planning involved.

Something a bit different in that it is done in camera but no lens is involved in the process. With a fair bit of time to kill at the moment I was reading up on alternative techniques, specifically chemigrams, and came across someone using refracted light directly on polaroid films. I thought why not have a go digitally and try to get a pattern on the bare sensor, to make it easier I used a Sony a5000 which I have converted for full spectrum as with no lens attached the sensor is right there.
Using a small torch and some glass ramekins I had a play. White balance and basic exposure adjustments, plus a whole load of spot removal but nothing special in the processing.

Thanks, bit of a random experiment but I liked how it came out.

One from today involving some deliberate movement of the camera.

One from today, backlight provided by a torch and some intentional camera movement got me this macro image of one of the cats toys.

A small horizontal rotation on the tripod got me this slightly weird bluebell woods scene. Used an ND filter so plenty of time to do the movement and bumped contrast and saturation up in post.

Deliberate camera movement and a dusty reflective surface (TV) combine for this one.

A very happy accident I would say, I like these kind of painting like representations of scenes.

Forgot that bit, its 3 exposures and I rotated the aperture and changed the shutter speed in each.

Ah, I remember that one well, a great photo.
I am always trying weird things out with the camera so I will be following this thread with interest.
A recent one involving deliberate movement both in camera and the subject with very little effort in maintaining correct focus, the weird colours come from this being a full spectrum modified camera.
