no editing needed.....just a box camera

I was totally inspired today to talk about

"thru the view finder"

because of julie

and

her amazing collection of cameras

and

the fact that we are

"ttvf sisters"

{I just made that up, but I like it}

anyhow

some of you already know what I'm talking about

and

you can go back to watching "ellen"

(which I'm doing right now even as I type)

but for those of you who are interested

here we go

" TTVF"

is shooting through your regular camera

while looking

down into an old camera

via

a

"light stopper"

{another name I just made up}

~that hopefully your hubby will construct for you~

in order

to prevent a wash out

~~~~~

I always use my macro lens

as that's what was suggested to me

and

my favorite way to shoot

"through the view finder"

is outside

with the box camera on the ground

~~~~~

I've posted ttvf pictures before

but

I can't remember if I've shared the before and after

so here's one that I just took in our family room

~before~

and
here it is cropped

and
here is one from this summer at our cottage
~before~

and

after

~~~~~

and

the best part of shooting this way

NO EDITING NEEDED

the pictures are just perfect the way they are

old

slightly blurry

grainy

pitted

~~~~~

the old cameras are easy to find

and

buy on ebay

my first one I paid only $6.00

which included shipping

and

my second one

was

$1.00

at the local flea market

*score*

if you have any questions

I'd love to try to answer them for you
