I think telephoto lenses have made these viewfinders obsolete for me. Taken in Lake George, NY. That's the Lac du Saint Sacrement in the background.
My own hometown was a very sad sight during the winter celebration, so I decided to show you some more views of Ljubljana instead - where signs of the crisis aren't so apparent (if at all - as it usually goes with capital cities).
Anyway, seems that somebody decided to direct views of people crossing the Congress Square to the city castle (well, fortress actually) and encourage them to take pictures of it, by setting this mock viewfinder up in the air.

HDR from three exposures [1/4, 2/3, 2 sec]
Tonemapped as close as possible to real colours.
Redish tone of the castle is real (the floodlights illuminating it, change colour every few seconds) - as is the blueish tone (probably extending well into UV) around street lamps under the castle. Some idiot public servant obviously decided that street lamps don't need shades on top - as if the sky over Ljubljana wasn't enough light-polluted already...
The modded 90-degree finder attached to the Lytro. It fits snugly, it just needed a little modification with a dremel tool.
Holga 35 KF
Taiwanese 35mm film camera
Found in a Polish thrift shop July 2020.
That thrift shop only sold second hand stuff coming from Sweden (by the truck loads).
Viewfinder and Lens Covers closed (power off).
No signs of usage, looks like new :-)
Stefanie Woods at the Skateworld PDX Strobist meet-up holding a Kodak Duaflex II camera.
Strobist: 550ex with blue gel behind model, 580exII with gridded snoot at camera left, Vivitar285 in strip bank on camera left. All triggered via pocket wizards.
Holding the protective viewfinder four feet away from my camera was a daunting task, but it turned out great!
Another view of the Viewfinder and RF assembly.
The moving mirror is on the left, connected to the calibrated Feet / Meters wheel.
VF doesnt interact with RF optics, they are two separate systems mounted on the
same platform
I was invited by my friend Michael Martin to assist as he photographed a Toyota Supra belonging to a friend of his. There wasn't much notice so we were forced to dig a location out among the industrial areas surrounding the airport. We were lucky to stumble upon this container yard and lucky again that the employees did not pay us any attention.
My technique for automotive photography usually has me tightly framing cars. I wanted to try something new. I convinced myself that I must step back and incorporate the background into the image and composition. The vehicle felt so small in the viewfinder and I found myself struggling to get used to the perspective.
While the large gap to the right of the vehicle doesn't improve the composition as much as I hoped, I am glad that I made an attempt. I feel like I'm always looking for the exact same angles in my photography and I'd like to break myself of this. I'd like to have more creative images incorporating the background - I'd like a scene, not just an image of a car.
The car is a Toyota Supra. The factory twin turbo setup has been swapped for a larger single turbocharger. I'm not sure of the rest of the modifications at this time, although I can vouch for the cleanliness of the vehicle. I'd like to thank Justin for bringing the car out and Michael Martin for inviting me along for the shoot.
Technical Information: Canon 5D Mark II + 85mm 1.2L ... all natural light.
Thanks for looking! Comment and/or favorite if you enjoy the photo or have any questions!

Inspired by a random picture seen in Facebook with some silly text....BG is some cheap Chinese light.
Copenhagen got a new landmark the other week: Hotel Bella Sky. The askew view over the grazings of Amager and the distant city is from the bar at the top.
If you ask kindly and do not disturb, you may visit only to shoot, but why not treat yourself with a drink afterwards?
While not being the tallest builing in town, it's extreme leaning structure is an attraction in itself, though not for those suffering from vertigo.
Feel free to download it as T4L.
I'd appreciate a link back and it would be really nice If you could post what you've used for in the comments.
Modded 90-degree finder and Lytro camera. I removed one side of the plastic housing and made a slight indent for the camera's screen to fit into.
The term "Red Light District" dates back to the early days of railroading. Railroad crews used lanterns for signaling and for light, lanterns used different colored lenses for different jobs. Your lanten was your lifeline in a railroad yard and was carried with you at all times, it was a tool of the trade. Railroad workers are a hard working bunch. Stores, bars, hotels and brothels sprang up along the railroads to cater to these workers needs and vices. When a railroad worker paid a visit to a working girl, the men would leave the lantern on the porch of the working girl's house while they were inside, most likely to signal that business was being done inside.
This is a old Pennsylvania Railroad lantern that I bought at the Flea-tique, it has the Pennsy 's PRR Keystone logo on the lid. The red globe was given to me, it had belonged to a PRR Conductor named Archie McDonald, I also have his log book documenting his work on the railroad. The red globe has a PRR Keystone logo etched on it.
This is a TtV (Through the Viewfinder) using a Raymond Loewy designed Anscoflex II TLR camera, a hand made contraption and a Pentax K-r DSLR with a PENTAX-DA L 18-55mm lens.
Raymond Loewy was the premire industrial designer of the 20th Century. He designed everything from kitchen utensils to railroad locomotives for the Pennsylvania Railroad. His designs have stood the test of time.
