So, I have found a new way to play.
It is a method of photography known as TtV, which stands for Through the Viewfinder.
I found my very first Anscoflex camera at an antique shop this past December while on a weekend away with my husband for our anniversary. I was so tickled to actually find a duoflex camera after searching for one for nearly two years!
There are many different base cameras that you can use to achieve the TtV look. I really like the results that I get with my little investment. Each camera gives a unique effect according to the condition of the lens. I can see a new camera collection forming for me here!
Most of my information about TtV came from these sources...
Because you are shooting with your regular SLR and just using the duoflex for its lens, you need to start by making a contraption to block out the surrounding light. I made mine out of black foam core board that I bought at Walmart and it looks like this...
Anyway, in a nutshell, that is my new way of playing and I am loving it!
I have more shots to share with you tomorrow...
