My first TTV shot, cropped and adjusted in post.
One of the interesting photography projects in the book Camera Creative (read my review here) is Through The Viewfinder or TTV photography. This is when you mate a DSLR with a TLR camera, focusing and composing with the TLR and using your DSLR to capture the image on the TLR’s viewfinder. Hence, Through The Viewfinder.
Now, one normally needs to build what TTV enthusiasts call “The Contraption,” which serves as the umbilical mount between the two cameras, but I wanted to jump in right away. Here’s my first attempt shot freehand without a DIY mount.

Thanks Nic! I hope to improve on this technique. Hope to practice it in the next four days when I go up to the mountains for a well deserved break from the rat race.
Happy New Year everyone!
