Taken through the viewfinder of my first ever camera, "Big Yellow Camera". Going to stick an out of date roll of film in it and start using it again!
Only three shutter speeds, no light-meter and you've got to estimate subject distance to focus... brilliant!
Due to the current pandemic and being always relegated at home, I have decided to do something with my old pictures. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy it.
What you will need:
1) Binder clip
1) Large Paper Clip
1) Long nerve for adjusting and sighting it.
First, Straighten 3/4th of the paper clip, leaving one bend for attaching it.
Take the end of the straightened section, and curl it around a pencil.
Then take a pair of pliers and bend the circle at a 90 degree angle.
Now attach the binder clip to the brim (centered) of your Hatcam.
Place the bent end of the paper clip under the binder clip - (I only put the short side of the bend under the clip so that it can rotate up out of my view if I want.)
Now, its a matter of sighting it in with some minor adjustments of up and down.
Find a spot to call center and put the viewfinder's circle over it. Now record, call center, and check the playback.
Once you see where your ' center' was, adjust accordingly. If you have any experience sighting a gun in, it's the same way - adjust the opposite axis' for where your aiming.
There it is, once you complete you 'Macgyver'd Hatcam Viewfinder' - you can have the confidence of getting that perfect jumping fish on camera and centered.
Voigtländer Brillant I (1936 UK model)
pseudo TLR, made from metal, for export to English-speaking countries. The serial number (stamped inside of the viewfinder lid) has a letter prefix that specifies the year of manufacture. The Germa name is 'Brill_a_nt,' while the English versions were marketed as 'Brill_ia_nt'

yea... rest in pieces because you broke off so easily!
Today, I made a trip to B&H to pick up a new one, but before that...
I picked up my girlfriend and strolled around the city :)
We borrowed her mom's Nikon D80 today to test and shoot and I was trying to teach her on the subway. Then this guy about a few seats away from us yells "HEY." I look at him... and he starts giving me stares.
"Watch where you point your film!"
"I wasn't even shooting at you or anyone"
"Some of us don't like be photographed."
"Well I'm not even shooting you... I'm shooting this pole"
"I don't care where you are from, Japan, China..."
"Well, how about Queens."
Stupid Ignorant People.
Other than that bump, my day was awesome, ate some of the cheapest Sushi around, walked 30 some blocks just to chat and shoot, got to B&H, shot around with the 50D, 5D Mark II, and the EOS 1Ds Mark III.
Oh and I bumped into Justin and Brian!
Anyways, I'm thinking about getting a wide, 10-22mm Canon, what you think about that one?

A plastic picnic chair in alie's yard. Shot through the view finder of an old Brownie Starflex. Love this old camera for its beautiful, big viewfinder.
Amelia was really fascinated by the whole through the viewfinder thing...
I know it's not a true ttv, but thought you folks in the through the viewfinder pool would still appreciate it!
