I discovered a group on flickr that involves using a viewfinder of another camera to frame a shot....
I used my Polaroid Autofocus 660 for the lens....
My boss gave me this, from a friend's yard sale. She thought I might like it as shelf decoration. I just so happened to have a roll of 620 film, and I'm gonna give this old Kodak a dance before I shelf it.
how things have moved on , this is the tiny viewfinder of a Kodak No2 autographic folding camera looking at a Christmas tree ,its a bit useless to be honest lol.
This is a photo I shot at Portland Bill, the southernmost point of Dorset, UK. I must admit I had high hopes for it, as I remember I liked it already from the moment I "saw" the frame in reality and then into the camera's viewfinder. But I was kinda avoiding to process it as the light was too soft and the atmosphere too hazy and I knew it would take me lots of time to get where I wanted - if I ever managed to...
After some initial trials and failures a few days ago (that did show me though the right way to follow), yesterday I decided to go all the way and settle this in a "now or never" fashion. Took me a couple of hours to finish but I must say I'm quite pleased by the result, very close to what I had in mind as I took the photo.
Μια φωτογραφία που έβγαλα στο Portland Bill, το νοτιότερο σημείο του Dorset στην Αγγλία. Η αλήθεια είναι ότι είχα υψηλές προσδοκίες απ' αυτήν καθώς θυμάμαι ότι μ' άρεσε πολύ απ' την πρώτη στιγμή που "είδα" το κάδρο στην πραγματικότητα και κατόπιν στο σκόπευτρο της μηχανής. Απέφευγα όμως συνειδητά να ασχοληθώ μαζί της καθώς το φως της σκηνής ήταν υπερβολικά αντίξοο και η ατμόσφαιρα θολή και ήξερα ότι θα μου έπαιρνε πολύ προσπάθεια και χρόνο για να φτάσω στο αποτέλεσμα που είχα φανταστεί (αν τα κατάφερνα και ποτέ...)

Τελικά μετά από μερικές μάλλον αποτυχημένες αρχικές προσπάθειες πριν από μερικές μέρες (που όμως μου έδειξαν το δρόμο που έπρεπε να ακολουθήσω), χτες αποφάσισα ότι ήρθε η ώρα να ασχοληθώ σοβαρά και με πατριωτική έξαρση του στυλ "ή τώρα ή ποτέ" στρώθηκα στη δουλειά. Μου πήρε 2-3 ώρες για να τελειώσω αλλά ομολογώ ότι το αποτέλεσμα με ικανοποίησε και σίγουρα είναι πολύ κοντά σ' αυτό που "είδα" όταν πρωτοαντίκρισα την σκηνή.

This is my 16-year old son, Ishan, last winter, in Rajasthan, India, looking at something through the viewfinder of his DLSR. At that time, after trying to get some sunset shots, I ran out of disk space on my card. Transferring the images on the card to the Wolverine storage was going to take over thirty minutes. So, I realized that my shooting for the day was over. It was then that I took out my point and shoot (a Canon Powershot SD770 IS) and took this photo of him.
After looking at the photo later, I had a feeling that's very hard to describe; he seems like a grown-up, an independent photographer with an artistic sense of his own. As a dad, I don't think I have quite had the opportunity of thinking of him that way until now.
ON BLACK, this looks much better.

When this friendly mantis jumped on the lens and I handed the camera to my wife so I could take this shot.....I realized immediately that I was looking at a moment that could easily be described as once in a lifetime.
We bring to photography many expectations and assumptions of what the image 'should' be like. I want to play with these assumptions. Here there appears to be information missing but can we use our imaginations to fill in the gaps? How much information can be taken away before the image is useless? If this seems exaggerated, think of a black and white photo, this is a process of discarding the color information from the image.
What we need to realise is that our perceptions of the world are always filtered anyway and what we think we see and know isn't always true but merely our attempt to make the world the way that makes sense to us.
More often we want to see what is there rather than what is not there. Many of my images in general play with the idea of negative space - or what is not there. Rather that seeing the leaves on the tree, try to see the spaces between.
I am interested in the philosophy of images and our perception of the world. Here, and with some of my recent images, I am attempting to understand more and experiment with image-making.
Went out yesterday and picked off some raspberries in our garden.

Split prism of my Vivitar XV-2. I removed the lens and focused on the prism in the mirror, while shining blue and red bike LED lights through the viewfinder.
HHHR capture with OM1.
Meyer Optik Trioplan 100mm 2.8
Aperture was wide open.
Taken minutes before sunset in MapleLawn Garden, Ottawa. When I was taking this photo the image seemed bright and intensely coloured in the viewfinder. Only on the computer screen later did I see the colours as being muted and cool, a result of the weakening light in the walled garden.
Taken with the LX2... ironically.
I was lucky enough to have a Yashica viewfinder lying around.

I hope you're all having a great Sunday! :)

****This frame was chosen on August 15th 2014 to appear on FLICKR EXPLORE (Highest Ranking: #t271 This is my Fifty Second photograph to be selected, which for me is both amazing and exciting, as I never view my images as worthy compared to some of the awesome photography out there. EXPLORE is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.
Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute -- That's about 8.6 million photos a day! From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm chooses only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period. That's only one image in every 17,000!..... so I am really thrilled to have a frame picked and most grateful to everyone who visited, favourite and commented on the frame*****

I would never have posted this . The challenge is to take a picture without looking through any viewfinder. Raise hands over your head, reach out to the side, etc. I put my camera down low trying to catch the great colors in the leaves. Not a fave for me, but the best of the bunch not using my viewfinder.

I wonder what my grandfather's camera has seen. I'm still contemplating if I should fix this medium format film camera that we've kept for a few years.
Okay, I really wanted to title this Santa Baby....
I took this one without looking through the viewfinder - I focused then held the camera below my chin (well, sorta) , then got her attention by saying "hahahahhaa!" and she started cracking up. Not bad, I'll have to try that again.

Amelia with my Voigtlander Bessa T.. sadly with parallax issues where the hotshoe viewfinder showed Amelia in the centre of the frame! At least it's good to know for future use. :)

We don't need no stinkin' ghost town! We've got Jeff. Jeff found this place on a scouting trip a few days before the workshop and took Ken and me there as part of a private tour that he took us on.
Jeff lent me his circular polarizer for this shot, since I thought I had left mine at home, and I could tell as soon as I looked through the viewfinder that it made a tremendous difference. Turns out my polarizer was in my camera bag all along, I just failed to look in one of the pockets.
This was taken at midnight. When I turned away from looking in the viewfinder, there was a man standing directly behind me, apparently he'd been looking over my shoulder. He told me that he was trying to see exactly what I was seeing. He told me he was there to commit suicide, that he had intended on jumping from the bridge we were standing on. We talked for quite a while and I managed to talk him out of it. You never know what you'll come across in the city at night.
The first generation of Silette models was produced from 1953 to the early 1960s. This one is fitted with the f2.8 Apotar. I also have one with the f3.5 Apotar. Simple cameras, but their lenses are excelent! The Silettes are plentyfull and cheap on the marked (Norway), so grab one if you find one.
Here is my other Silette with the f3.5 Apotar lens: flic.kr/p/MdV2Hu
Got this at an Estate sale for $5, it came with a Hoya UV filter. It's filthy but it works, the meter needs attention though.
Denver, CO - This was taken from the top of the Denver Art Museum. The area you see here is the Civic Center Park, a 12-acre park that according to the city anchors culture, commerce and government.
Speaking of government, the building to the far upper right is the capital building. It was built in 1894 and the copper top was installed in 1908 to commemorate the Colorado Gold Rush.
While we are here the Greek Amphitheater located on the lower right was built in 1919. If you follow the walking path to the upper far left that structure is the Voorhies Memorial. Dedicated to John Voorhies, a successful minor who left his fortune to the city.
We hope you enjoyed the ride, please note when exiting, the platform you are standing on is moving at the same speed as the ride vehicle.
